A Description of a Blind Student's Science Process Skills through Health Physics
Bülbül, M. Sahin
European Journal of Physics Education, v4 n2 p6-13 2013
This study describes an approach for blind students thought health physics about how they could set a hypothesis and test it. The participant of the study used some health materials designed for high school blind student and tested her hypothesis with the data she gathered with those materials. It was asked that she should hypothesize which could be tested with the given material and reflected her own interest. At the last step of the case study she asked an expert to construct the data meaningful and tested her hypothesis. Positive expressions of blind student after her hypothesis testing, indicates that blind students possible use and develop their science process skills through health physics.
