Abstract
The intelligent era paves the way for integrating special education with artificial intelligence.Special education teachers are the main implementers of special education, and providing them with appropriate and adequate support is a key part of promoting and ensuring the quality of special education. The research method of this study is based on the social-ecological system theory, exploring the status quo and application logic of AI-enabled special education teachers. The purpose of the study is to construct a “macro-medium-micro”teacher support system in the context of artificial intelligence and to propose a practical path. The conclusion of the study shows that the special education teacher support system based on the social-ecological system theory can provide a new way of thinking and a reference suggestion for effectively improving the teaching quality and learning effect of special education.
