<span>In this study, it is aimed to evaluating of learning probability of 4<sup>th</sup> grade science course curriculum learning outcomes by visually impaired students. Therefore, ability to gain learning outcomes has been examined. In addition to, in case of gaining of learning outcomes, “how to gain?” question was investigated. Document analysis method was used for this analysis. 46 learning outcomes were analyzed through descriptive analysis. As a result of analyzing, the confidence coefficients were found to be (.72) greater than .70. From these findings, low vision students could gain 80.4% and partially gain 19.6% of learning outcomes; blind students could gain 58.7% and partly gain 26.1% and not gain 15.2% of learning outcomes. It is thought that great majority of learning outcomes can be gained by visually impaired students. Visually impaired students can gain to curriculum learning outcomes, however it is necessary to use promoters for these students during teaching.</span>

In this study, the relationship between the levels of 5th grade science course exam questions and the 5th class learning outcomes of the science curriculum in the revised Bloom taxonomy was examined. The research was carried out using document analysis method. Since the revised Bloom taxonomy categories were used for the analysis, the data obtained were analyzed with the descriptive analysis technique. The study included 967 science questions and 40 learning outcomes in the 2017-2018 academic year. These questions and learning outcomes were analyzed. At the end of analysis, the relationship between the learning outcomes and exam questions was determined. The inter-rater reliability computing has been made in the analysis of questions-learning outcomes. The reliability co-efficient was calculated .81 for learning outcomes and .77 for questions, indicating an acceptable reliability. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the most learning outcomes were in the conceptual knowledge dimension and the most questions were included in the factual knowledge dimension. In the cognitive processes dimension, it was determined that most learning outcomes are at the level of understanding, and the most questions are at the level of remembering. It is understood that 37% of the exam questions are at the level of learning outcomes. In addition, it was determined that there were no questions about some learning outcomes (24%).

Introduction The present study was undertaken to develop a valid and reliable scale for measuring a feeling of alienation in students with visual impairments (that is, those who are blind or have low vision). Methods In this study, a pool of 60 items was generated to develop an Alienation Scale for Visually Impaired Students (AL-VI) based on a review of the literature and discussions with colleagues and experts in the field. The items were organized into six dimensions of alienation, namely powerlessness, meaninglessness, normlessness, social isolation, self-estrangement, and cultural estrangement, and were rated on the five-point Likert scale. The standardization of the scale was completed with 118 students with visual impairments in the age group of 10 to 25 years, selected randomly from specialized and inclusive schools in the state of Haryana, India. Results The item analysis was done by calculating t- and r-values; seven items were deleted, and a final 45 items were retained. The calculated value of Cronbach's alpha and split-half correlation came out to be 0.87 and 0.86, respectively. The construct validity was determined by computing the coefficient of correlation between scores of this scale and the scores obtained by using the Student Alienation scale (SAS) of R. R. Sharma (Sharma, 2012). The percentile norm for the scale was determined after verifying normality of the scores by using a Q-Q plot. Discussion The findings of the present study suggest that the AL-VI may serve as a useful tool in future research to assess alienation in persons with visual impairments in India. The findings further demonstrate that the AL-VI produced scores that are reliable and valid. The AL-VI can be used outside India after determining its reliability and validity in context-specific conditions. Implications for practitioners The AL-VI scale is applicable to students with visual impairments, teachers of students with visual impairments, principals, social workers, psychologists, and rehabilitation professionals. Practitioners could use this tool for assessing and understanding the level of alienation among students with visual impairments, thereby helping them in planning and executing strategies for remediating alienation.

Introduction Knowing how to gather information from graphics and to use that information to solve mathematics problems is an important skill. Prior research indicates that many students with visual impairments face considerable challenges when attempting to locate information in math graphics. Little is known about how teachers of students with visual impairments support their students in acquiring graphics skills. Methods Eleven teachers of visually impaired students participated in focus groups. Sessions were audio-recorded and transcribed. Themes were identified. Results The teachers described the importance of individualizing instruction for the student, teaching a systematic approach, and ensuring that graphics are clear to them. Discussion From an early age, visually impaired students need explicit instruction in how to access information in graphics. The use of prescribed low vision devices, manipulatives, and systematic instruction are integral to student success, as are the design and production of clear and accurate graphics. Implications for practitioners Teachers of visually impaired students utilize a variety of strategies to support students in accessing information in graphics. A curriculum and guidelines to assist them in supporting a wide range of learners would be valuable to the field of vision loss.

Introduction The authors examined a tablet computer application (iPad app) for its effectiveness in helping students studying pre-algebra to solve mathematical word problems. Methods Forty-three visually impaired students (that is, those who are blind or have low vision) completed eight alternating mathematics units presented using their traditional literacy medium or an iPad app. Twenty percent of the mathematics problems included graphics such as maps, line graphs, and bar graphs. During each session, teachers of visually impaired students rated the amount of support they provided for students and the student motivation. Results Students answered more mathematics problems correctly when using the iPad app and, overall, teachers reported that their students were more motivated with the app than with their traditional literacy medium. Students often used the hints provided in the app when they did not solve a problem correctly the first time. Discussion Visually impaired students and their teachers found the app and graphics to be easy to use and motivating. The built-in Scratch pad was used by almost all students who were print users. Implications for practitioners The study results contribute to the growing body of knowledge about the potential value of tablet-type devices for use by visually impaired students.

 Resumo: Com a Constituição Federal de 1988 e as legislações subsequentes, todos os alunos têm o direito de fazer parte de uma escola regular, inclusive aqueles que possuem algum tipo de necessidade especial. Uma dificuldade maior ocorre quando este deficiente é o professor, pois um professor vidente em sala de aula possui vários artifícios para dinamizar sua aula ao contrário de um professor deficiente visual que muitas vezes não possui recursos alternativos como complemento em sua aula. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo confeccionar e analisar a utilização de recursos didáticos, voltados para o Ensino de Ciências e Biologia (Fotossíntese, Célula Animal e Célula Vegetal), por uma professora deficiente visual responsável pela sala de recursos de uma Escola Pública Estadual no Noroeste Paulista, que leciona para alunos com cegueira total e baixa visão, buscando-se a melhoria dos recursos para que a mesma desenvolva seu trabalho. Sendo assim, foi possível observar mediante a transcrição e análise dos vídeos que a utilização dos materiais foi de extrema importância para o ensino de seus alunos e para a professora que não teve dificuldades para ministrar suas aulas com o material adaptado. Na opinião da professora, esta é uma de suas prerrogativas, ou seja, adaptar os materiais para melhor entendimento dos alunos deficientes visuais, mas sua deficiência e a falta de suporte dificultam sua atuação em sala de aula. A utilização dos materiais confeccionados para este trabalho, fez com que a professora participante se sentisse com o dever cumprido perante suas aulas.Palavras chave: Educação Especial.

A major difficulty occurs when the deficient is the teacher, as a psychic teacher in the classroom has several tricks to boost your class, unlike a blind teacher who often does not have alternative resources to complement in your class. Thus, this study aimed to make and analyze the use of educational resources, facing the Science and Biology Teaching (Photosynthesis, Animal Cell and Cell Plant) for a visually impaired teacher responsible for the resource room of a Public State School in the northwest of São Paulo state, who teaches for students with low vision and total blindness, seeking to improve the resources for it to develop its work. Thus, it was observed by the transcription and analysis of videos that use of the material was extremely important for the education of their students and herself, who had no trouble to teach their classes with adapted material. According to the professor, this is one of hers prerogatives; in other words, adapt the materials for better understanding of the visually impaired students, but her disability and lack of support hinders their performance in the classroom. The use of materials made for this work, made the participating teacher feel with fulfilled duty to the teacher’s lessons.Keywords: Special Education. Biology Education. Teaching Materials.
