Pilot study introduces tactile and auditory strategies for improved chemistry learning in visually impaired students, suggesting effective instructional methods.
The periodic table is fundamental in chemistry education, offering a systematic framework for understanding elements and their properties. However, engaging with this tool poses unique challenges for blind and visually impaired (BVI) students. This study introduces innovative teaching strategies, notably the “Working Hands Method” (WHM), emphasizing tactile and auditory tools. Pilot results indicate enhanced comprehension and retention when tactile models and interactive learning activities are employed. Recommendations are provided for scalable approaches to support BVI students in chemistry.
