Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find an effective educational support plan for students with low-vision by examining the educational support status and educational needs for them. For the purpose of this study, the researchers used survey methods. A survey was conducted on teachers in charge of educating students with low-vision in order to examine the actual conditions of education support for students and their demands for educational support in terms of creating a physical environment and supporting school life. Above all, a physical environment suitable for visual characteristics of students with low-vision should be supported so that students could use their residual vision efficiently in their learning activities. Also, administrative and financial support is needed to create a school environment so that students with low-vision can participate in their school life and perform learning activities more efficiently. In addition, it is necessary to develop an evaluation tool that can more objectively evaluate the degree of adaptation to school life of students with low-vision and educational programs for students with low-vision. It can improve school life skills such as interpersonal skills and self-confidence necessary for students with low-vision to form friendships with other students.
