In this study, teaching materials used for science experiments for elementary and juniorhigh school students with low vision who are enrolled in special needs education (SNE) classes are developed. In addition, important matters to consider in conducting experiments of science education for these students in both SNE and regular classes are suggested. Two teaching materials used for SNE classes were developed; first, the ʻmusic box glovesʼ which are intended for teaching about electrically conductive materials using an electrical music box instead of ordinary small bulbs, second, the ʻexperiment of the electrolytes using seasoningsʼ which used everyday materials in order to avoid materials dangerous to students. Finally, the ʻexperiment using small bulbs on an individual boardʼ was developed as teachingprop for use in regular classes that include a student with low vision. Step-by-steppresentation of teaching materials fitted to a studentʼs special needs, and monitoring student running an experiment and refraining from unnecessary intervention were raised as matters to consider in SNE classes. In the regular class, it was recommended to utilize ICT equipment while considering the eye movements of a student with low vision. |
