Sensory Perception and Descriptions of Morphological Characteristic of Vegetative Plant Organs by the Blind: Implementation in Teaching

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 sequencing of these descriptions by the blind with the sequencing of the morphological descriptions used in the botanical education of partially sighted people in Montenegro and Austria. The research uses a descriptive-analytical and comparative method. The research technique is observation. The study included 100 blind people from Montenegro and Austria, with an average age of 25. It is necessary to harmonise the sequence of general description and the description of each vegetative plant organ in the previous botanical education of the blind, as well as to implement new descriptions of those morphological characteristic that are perceived by the blind, which are absent in the current botanical education of the blind. The proposed changes would contribute to the improvement of the botanical education of the blind.
