Abstract

This study takes up three units with high difficulty in the field of earth science of science and creates a teaching method (UD teaching method) that considers the visual characteristics of elementary and junior high school students with impaired vision. The purpose was to verify the effect on the performance and subjective evaluation of elementary and junior high school students with impaired vision. The UD teaching method is a teaching plan that uses tablets that regular schools have, based on previous research, and was created for 3 credit hours. After that, a workshop-style practice was conducted for elementary and junior high school students with impaired vision, and the effect was verified. Comparing the pre-questionnaire average scores and the post-questionnaire scores for each unit time in the survey results asking about the subjective evaluation of science classes, the post-questionnaire scores were higher than the pre-questionnaire scores in all units. In behavior analysis, elementary and junior high school students with impaired vision have a high participation rate in difficult observation scenes, and it is thought that independent observational learning is promoted by practicing teaching methods that take visual characteristics into consideration. It is considered that the learning comprehension level was improved by using the tablets, considering the various visual characteristics of elementary and junior high school students with impaired vision and contributing to compensating for the difficulty in seeing.
