-
This teaching material is similar to a book in structure, and comprises three pages because the eyeball has a three-layer structure.
From the bottom, the first page (the fibrous tunica), the second page (the vascular tunica), and the third page (the retina).The two-dimensional vascular tunica: from the center, the iris, the ciliary body, and the choroid.The back side of the page of is vascular tunica. The ciliary body is viewed from the back. From the center, the lens, the ciliary zonule, and the ciliary body.The ciliary zonule is located radially between the lens and the ciliary body, which is involved in the regulation of the thickness of the lens.The two-dimensional retina; the macula lutea is present on the left side (the ear side) and the optic disc on the right side (the nose side).
| Target | Students with visual impairment (Physical Therapy Course, part of the Advanced Vocational Course) (≥ 18 years old) |
|---|---|
| Disability category | visual impairment |
| Teaching units / Applicable scenes | other acupuncture, moxibustion, manual therapy |
| Specific purposes |
Students will be able to understand: • the membranous structure of the eyeball • the anatomical spatial relationship of each part of the eyeball. |
| Considerations for disability characteristics |
• Most of the common eye models are three-dimensional structures and so they are easily reveal the whole image. However, the vague borders of each part and poorly contrasting colors make it difficult for students with visual impairment to understand the details. • In this teaching model, a three-dimensional eyeball is represented in two dimensions. The membranous structure of the eyeball can be easily understood by turning the three layers of the membrane as if they were the pages of a book. Each part of the eyeball is geometrically exaggerated to ease understanding of the anatomical spatial relationship of each membrane. The use of materials with different colors and textures allows students with low vision (amblyopia) or total blindness to gain a better understanding by sight and touch. |
| Expected effects and results |
The combined use of a conventional 3D eye model and this model will enable teachers to teach students effectively by taking advantage of the beneficial features of both models. Students will be able to understand what is in each membrane. |
| How to use |
(1) The teacher tells students which is the top and bottom of this teaching material to have the students understand which side of the eyeball it is. (2) Students understand the content presented in each page. |
