Description
Summary:Science learning should be accessible for all learners including students with visually impaired (VI). Students with VI apparently have the same cognitive abilities range and can master higher-order science concept as well. The purpose of this study is to explain that students with VI can learn science well if there is the right learning support tool by in-depth literature review. This in-depth literature review uses the following steps: selection of the articles, analysis the studies and categorization of the articles. A total of seventeen journal articles from the year of 2009-2018 written in English on the topic of science learning for students with VI that divided based on how do the students with VI learn and teaching and learning science to students with VI. This literature was collected via the ERIC database and the Google Scholar website. Based on this literature reviews, students with VI can learn science well if there is a proper support tool for them to learn. If the teachers are able to apply the right learning model and are supported with good facilities such as orientation and movement, tactile and kinesthetic learning, auditory learning and accommodations, and assistive technology, it is possible that students with VI will be able to learn about science very well.
