AB - The purpose of this study is to analyze perception of special education teachers who teach science in their schools on the learning situation of students with visual impairments through scientific inquiry in a darkroom. Twelve special education teachers who attended the Gwacheon National Science Museum workshop volunteered to participate in the darkroom scientific inquiry activities. They were encouraged to explore individually models of ‘the structure of eyes’ and ‘the molecular structure of ice’ freely, and had a discussion with a one of the researchers during the activity. All the conversation and discussion were audio-taped and a short survey on the darkroom activity was also administered. As a result, special education teachers who thought that they knew well the learning situation of students with visual impairments now recognized that their understanding had been superficial and that they were really lacking in understanding. They also understood unusual behavior of students with visual impairments by doing same behavior unintendedly in the darkroom. As the participants emphasized the importance of learning aids, they also suggested methods for teaching scientific concepts and preparing learning aids with consideration of students’ visual impairments. Finally, the scientific inquiry in the darkroom can be proposed to give special education teachers a meaningful experience to understand learning situation of students with visual impairments.
