Physics problems for visually impared children

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the need for accessible physics educational materials for visually impaired children. The participant seeks a textbook or collection of physics problems that are well-written and descriptive, eliminating the need for visual aids such as graphs or illustrations. While tactile methods and Braille are common, the emphasis is on providing clear, non-visual explanations. The Bennett test is mentioned as a reference point, but it is not suitable due to its reliance on visual elements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of educational techniques for visually impaired students
  • Familiarity with physics concepts suitable for children
  • Knowledge of accessible educational materials
  • Awareness of Braille and tactile learning methods
NEXT STEPS
  • Research accessible physics textbooks for visually impaired learners
  • Explore techniques for writing descriptive educational content
  • Investigate the development of tactile learning resources
  • Learn about the Bennett test and its applications in education
USEFUL FOR

Educators, curriculum developers, and researchers focused on creating inclusive educational resources for visually impaired students in physics.

So I'm currently doing research on studying physics by visually impaired children. I know, that there are many techniques to teach such a kid physics, but what I don't like about these techniques is that they are mostly tactile-based and implement graphs and illustrations in Braille and real-life physical objects.

Don't get me wrong - I understand, that you must compensate the lack of visuals with something, but what I am searching for is a textbook or just a collection of simple physics problems, that don't require calculations, but are well-written with detailed descriptions, so that you don't need graphs and illustrations to understand it.

The closest thing to what I'm searching for is Bennett test, but this test requires visuals.

What are the age/grade level(s) of the students? What kind of academic preparation would they have prior to your course?
