- Abstract
Visual representations, such as graphics and shapes, are modes of presenting information that can pose a challenge for individuals with visual impairments. To address this issue, mobile technologies that provide tactile and auditory stimuli have been developed to ensure equal learning opportunities for individuals with visual impairments. The study investigates the extent to which Touch-Listen-Learn model, implemented through Tactile Images Reader mobile application, contributes to the concept teaching of students with visual impairments. This study used the Touch-Listen-Learn model to teach concepts to three secondary school students with visual impairments. Each student used, only tactile material, tactile material with audio description, and the Touch-Listen-Learn model. Students with visual impairments were able to actively participate in the concept teaching through the Touch-Listen-Learn Model. The results suggest that the use of the Touch-Listen-Learn model could support independent and self-paced visual information learning among students with visual impairment.
