Yvina Pedrosa Vieira Gomes; Francisco Nataniel Batista de Albuquerque; Glauciana Alves Teles – Journal of Education and Learning, 2025
Tactile cartography and the use of tactile teaching resources play a fundamental role in building the geographical reasoning of blind and low-vision students. These resources provide a sensory representation of space, allowing students to explore and understand geographical elements through touch. In this context, this study addresses the…

The plastination technique produces non-toxic human tissues, ensuring their safe handling in educational settings. This investigation aimed to understand if visually impaired students profit from the use of plastinated anatomical specimens in learning the anatomy of the nervous system. For this purpose, their learning performance was compared to…

Hisae Miyauchi; Toshiaki Aomatsu; Yoshiko Seiwa; Erika Matsuda – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2024
Introduction: This study investigated the effectiveness of changes in the test format (braille and tactile tables) and time extensions (1.5× or 2×) for tests with complex tables for students with blindness. Additionally, it examined the challenges associated with the current test accommodations for students who are blind and explored practical…

Sevgi Kirboyun Tipi; Seraceddin Levent Zorluoglu; Hale Uçus; Haydar Külekçi – Journal of Inquiry Based Activities, 2023
Visual representations, such as graphics and shapes, are modes of presenting information that can pose a challenge for individuals with visual impairments. To address this issue, mobile technologies that provide tactile and auditory stimuli have been developed to ensure equal learning opportunities for individuals with visual impairments. The…

Wu, Chih-Fu; Wu, Hsiang-Ping; Tu, Yung-Hsiang; Yeh, I-Ting; Chang, Chin-Te – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2022
Introduction: Many tactile graphics designed for individuals with visual impairments consider single factors. According to the results of our previous study, there may be interactions among scale, representation, and complexity factors. We conducted this integrative study with these three factors. Additionally, for the representation factor, we…

Stewart, Robin; Zebehazy, Kim T.; Holbrook, M. Cay – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2022
To be effective teachers of literacy for students who read braille, we need to know what our students' strengths and needs are as all these components come together in braille literacy. Using an appropriate assessment that addresses the skill sets involved in braille literacy is critical to putting together effective intervention packages for our…

Bleau, Maxime; Jaiswal, Atul; Holzhey, Peter; Wittich, Walter – SAGE Open, 2022
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a promising tool to produce assistive technology. For instance, individuals with deafblindness (concurrent vision and hearing loss) could benefit from tactile AM-based products as touch may be their main gateway to access information. This study thus aimed to synthesize evidence on the…

Wu, Chih-Fu; Wu, Hsiang-Ping; Tu, Yung-Hsiang; Yeh, I-Ting; Chang, Chin-Te – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2022
Introduction: Three-dimensional (3D) printing can be used to produce tactile teaching materials for individuals with visual impairments. Although 3D and 2.5D teaching materials are based on realistic content, no systematic conversion model for 2D materials exists. Here, we combined the previous findings and this study's results and technology to…

Fridah Gatwiri Kiambati; Samuel Wanyonyi Juma; Brenda Aromu Wawire – Quality Assurance in Education: An International Perspective, 2024
Purpose: This paper aims to evaluate the accessibility of digital information systems as a key usability attribute in information retrieval by users with visual impairment (VI), to inform development of accessible information systems. Design/methodology/approach: This study used a cross-sectional survey design based on the quantitative research…

The difficulties faced by teachers at a Special Public School in teaching Balinese script literacy to visually impaired children have resulted in low literacy skills in Balinese script among these students. In order to maximize Balinese script learning, appropriate learning media tailored to the characteristics of visually impaired children are…

Tasing Chiu – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2024
In the late nineteenth century, Protestant missionaries introduced modern education for the blind people in Taiwan and Korea. They developed various tactile reading systems to enhance literacy and provided handicraft training for self-sufficiency. When these regions came under Japanese colonial rule in the first half of the twentieth century, the…

Andic, Branko; Cvjeticanin, Stanko; Maricic, Mirjana; Steševic, Danijela – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Although very rare, the existing research on the biological education of blind people indicates that teaching content is not fully in line with the sensory perception of that content by the blind. The aim of this study is to analyse the morphological details which the blind can register in multisensory plant research and to harmonise the…

Adelakun, Sariat A. – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2020
Diagrams appear in many school subjects but more prominent in science and mathematics taught in schools. Accessing these diagrams in an inclusive classroom has been identified to be problematic for blind students partly due to the teaching resources available and personnel type, support and sufficiency. Diagrams are mostly omitted by teachers…
