Volume : I, Issue : XII, January - 2012 TEACHING SCIENCE TO STUDENTS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS Sushil Kumar DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The present study is conducted to find out various problems encountered in teaching/learning
science with reference to students with visual impairment (V.I.). 50 students with V.I. and six teachers of three special schools situated in Haryana and Delhi were purposively selected in the study. Two
questionnaires/ schedules prepared by the investigator were used to collect the data. The findings of the
study reveal that although students with V.I. face few problems in learning science but they consider science
as an interesting subject. Teachers also reported that science can be taught to the students with V.I. However,
they also face some problems. The study underlines the importance of knowledge of science in
mainstreaming of students with V.I. in the modern era of science and technology. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Sushil Kumar, (2012).
