The Perceptions of Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments on Students with Visual Impairments and Graphing: How To Teach
Nashleanas, Ashley N.
Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, v24 n1 2021
Many gaps exist in what is known around teaching students with visual impairments (SVI) about how to use graphs (Rosenblum et al., 2018; Rosenblum & Herzberg, 2015; Zebehazy & Wilton, 2014a; 2014b; 2014c). When teachers first experience a student with a visual impairment, some of the questions that come to mind are: How can I be sure this student understands what I am saying about these graphs I show on the board? Will this student be able to keep up? The study herein, based on findings from Nashleanas (2018), serves as a guide for teachers to consider in the case that SVI enroll in their STEM courses. Nashleanas reports findings that answer questions that focus on (1) how to teach SVI so they can have timely access to and demonstrate comprehension of graphical information in mathematics and science courses, and (2) the kinds of individuals who, given their unique training and experience with SVI, can be helpful resources.
