<p>This study explored the level of peer acceptance of students with visual impairments and their perception of acceptance by their sighted peers in an inclusive setting in Ghana using the case study design. Twenty students with visual impairments and two resource teachers were sampled based on census sampling for the study. Interview data were coded and analysed using the thematic approach. The study indicated that students with visual impairments were accepted by their sighted peers, more especially, based on their social skills and academic prowess. The study further revealed that students with visual impairments have a positive perception about their social participation in the school. Although the students were fairly satisfied about their participation, they expressed their frustration on how some teachers’ instructions excluded them in class. It was recommended among others in the study that teachers in inclusive schools should organise more counselling or sensitisation programmes for all students to educate them on issues of disabilities and how to ensure friendly relationships between students with and those without disabilities. This would promote better acceptance of the disabled by those without disabilities. Resource persons who are special educators are also encouraged to periodically sensitize teachers on classroom instructions.</p><p> </p><p>Cette étude a exploré le niveau d'acceptation par les pairs des étudiants ayant de déficiences visuelles et leur perception de l'acceptation par leurs pairs voyants dans un environnement inclusif au Ghana, en utilisant la conception d'étude de cas. Vingt étudiants ayant de déficiences visuelles et deux enseignants-ressources ont été sélectionnés sur la base d'un échantillonnage de recensement pour l'étude. Les données issues de l’entretien ont été codées et analysées à l'aide de l'approche thématique. L'étude indique que les étudiants malvoyants sont acceptés par leurs pairs voyants, plus particulièrement en raison de leurs compétences sociales et de leurs prouesses scolaires. L'étude a également révélé que les étudiants ayant de déficiences visuelles ont une perception positive par rapport à leur participation sociale à l'école. Bien que les étudiants soient assez satisfaits de leur participation, ils ont exprimé leur frustration sur la façon dont certains enseignants les excluent au cours de l’enseignement en classe. L'étude recommande, entre autres, que les enseignants des écoles inclusives organisent davantage de programmes de conseil ou de sensibilisation pour tous les élèves afin de les éduquer sur les questions de handicap et sur la manière d'assurer des relations amicales entre les élèves handicapés et non handicapés. Cela favoriserait l'acceptation des personnes handicapées par les personnes non handicapées. Les personnes ressources qui sont des éducateurs spécialisés sont également encouragées à sensibiliser périodiquement les enseignants sur l’enseignement en classe.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0893/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The purpose of this study was to explore the physical activity experiences of youth with visual impairments living in Alaska. This study utilized a descriptive-qualitative methodology using an exploratory case study design. A convenience sample of four (one female, three males; aged 12–18 years) Alaskan youths with visual impairments participated in this study. Data included semi-structured interviews, reflective interview notes, and observational notes. Data were transcribed verbatim, and thematic development was undertaken inductively using a three-step analytic process. Based on the analysis, two interrelated themes emerged from the data: (a) “I don’t really participate in sports other than at camp”: preferences for unstructured activities and (b) “my sister’s willing to do anything”: familial impact on physical activity. Results of this study can help inform future efforts to promote physical activity engagement among youth with visual impairments, particularly those living in geographic areas similar to Alaska.

The study aimed at examining the practices at Grade 12 level with respect to learners with visual impairments. The sample was drawn from Mwense and Lusaka districts of Zambia. The study was guided by the following objective: to establish the current practices of the Grade 12 national examination assessment for learners with visual impairments in selected schools of Mwense and Lusaka districts, Zambia. The study was qualitative, and a case study design was used. The study comprised 22 respondents consisting of four pupils, six school leavers, and six school specialist teachers, two school headmasters, two Education Standard Office (ESO) in charge of special education, and two officials from the Examination Council of Zambia (ECZ). Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Thematic analysis was used to analyse data based on the themes that emerged in the study. The study findings revealed that learners who were totally blind wrote their examinations using braille format, and enlarged print was used for those learners who were partially sighted. The findings of study also showed that the examination questions were modified into a descriptive form, and by doing so, learners were able to access the examinations. The study further revealed that learners were given extra time during the examinations, although this was not adequate. It was equally revealed that there were no special provisions that were considered when marking examination scripts for the learners with visual impairments, meaning their scripts were marked just like other scripts for learners without sight challenges. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the Examination Council of Zambia should come up with a marking centre where the scripts for the learners with visual impairments could be marked to solve the problem of missing results, among others.

This study explored the utility of the learner autonomy concept in the Zimbabwean O Level English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom focusing on three Gweru urban high schools of the Midlands Province. The researchers intended to establish whether learner autonomy was a reality or just a myth in Zimbabwean classrooms. A qualitative multiple case study design was applied focusing on teaching strategies, availability of resources, challenges faced and ways of optimising it. Questionnaires and document analysis were used for data collection. The findings revealed that the concept did not manifest in explicit terms, the learners did not participate in decision making, and the teachers were not adequately prepared to administer autonomous processes with students. For it to be a reality, the Education Ministry is recommended to establish a comprehensive framework of how autonomous learning should be implemented. Teacher training should explicitly focus on how to develop autonomous learners. Teachers ought to be flexible enough to accommodate learners' contributions towards their learning.
