ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the science experiment classes are taught in the schools for the visually impaired. The subjects for this study were selected to be 12 science teachers from 12 schools. The results are as follows. First, class hours of science for the seventh graders in the school for the visually impaired is 3 or 4 hours a week. All the schools have science labs. Second, science experiment classes for the seventh graders mostly consist of physics, chemistry, earth science and biology. Science teachers do their classes based on theory and knowledge due to the lack of equipments for experiment. Third, teaching method for experiment is to give accurate and full information on experiments and make use of multisensory materials. This study suggests the ways to expand experiment classes based on these findings.
