Tactile Graphics in the Tertiary Education of Students with Visual Impairment

Original language description

Tactile graphics intended for people with visual impairment are an important supporting element in reducing the information deficit caused by impaired visual perception. Due to the fact that we visually obtain the maximum amount of information in a minimum period of time, it is necessary to replace this missing information in various ways. One of these ways may be via tactile images, more precisely, tactile graphics. Not only the informational contribution of tactile graphics, but also their important role in the development of the imagination of visually impaired people has been confirmed by the results of our research. Particularly in the area of spatial orientation and independent movement, tactile graphics have a significant potential for application. We will follow up on this information with a study with a mixed design, the aim of which is to identify specific possibilities and possible limits to the use of relief graphics in tertiary education. Based on the implemented qualitatively oriented research with quantitative elements, we will attempt to comprehensively evaluate the contribution of relief graphics in the education of visually impaired students at universities in the Czech Republic. We will focus on issues of information usefulness, equalization of study opportunities, technical and imaging opportunities and other aspects. This contribution was created with funding from projects IGA_PdF_2020_007 Adaptation of the environment for people with disabilities; TL01000507 Development of spatial orientation and independent movement through auditory-tactile means; TL03000679 Information deficit reduction and the development of imagination of persons with visual impairment through 3D models with auditory elements.
