Produktbeschreibung
The investigation aimed to determine how the learning
of the life sciences is facilitated (mediated) in
special schools for blind learners and to establish
how the lessons learnt from this experience could be
implemented to the advantage of blind learners in the
Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Band
in inclusive Outcomes-based education
settings.Educators and blind learners were
interviewed through the use of the Qualitative
Inquiry methodology as well as its techniques and
strategies for data gathering. Analysis of the
transcripts resulted in the development of
themes/codes discussed in the research investigation.
Biology and other life sciences subjects have much
potential for the blind learners in South Africa but
they are not offered at some of the schools or
efficiently mediated due to educators reluctance,
lack of knowledge and resources. Learning mediation
strategies to make
biology and life sciences more accessible to blind
learners could be explored.

difference to people. Studying and working hard were important
in achieving my goals. I received a Fullbright Scholarship to
study for my M. Ed. in the US. Currently I am serving on the
Ministerial Committee on Literacy.
