| Target |
Students with visual impairment (studying acupuncture/moxibustionists or physiotherapists) Students interested in the structure of the body such as anatomy and physiology Physiology and science education for students with visual impairment |
|---|---|
| Disability category | visual impairment |
| Teaching units / Applicable scenes | science acupuncture, moxibustion, manual therapy |
| Specific purposes |
Learners understand the visual pathway. Learners understand where a visual defect would arise when a fault occurs in the visual pathway. |
| Considerations for disability characteristics |
The learning kit consists of an anatomical model of the visual pathway. The model has variations in material and color, as well as obvious grooving, so that the components can be easily differentiated by partially sighted and completely blind learners. In the model, the start and end of the pathway feature the same visual mark, which helps the learners understand where a visual defect would arise when a fault occurs in the visual pathway. |
| Expected effects and results |
Learners learn about the visual pathway. Learners learn where a visual defect would arise when a fault occurs in the visual pathway. |
| How to use |
1. The instructor distributes the models to the learners and gives the learners some time to observe them. 2. The instructor outlines the visual pathway. 3. The learners observe the four sections of the visual pathway and learn that the visual mark remains the same at the start and end of the pathway. 4. The learners consider which visual field would be caused to be missing by a fault somewhere in the visual pathway. |
