INTEGRATED MODEL FOR EFFECTIVE TEACHING LEARNING OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED STUDENTS

The paper focuses on models of teaching used in teaching learning process of visually impaired students. The research question was framed to understand the teaching learning process used by their teacher in classroom teaching. However, investigator prepared the integrated model which is based on inquiry based learning and stress reduction techniques. The integrated model is focused on biological science content. The findings seem to be in accordance with other researches which show that the models of teaching are benefitted for disabled students. Supported the study of Elefant(1980) highlighted the inquiry based learning is useful for deaf students and it can be useful for severe handicapped students. This finding indicates that there is a need for putting emphasis on critical findings with regards to models of teaching in the area of special education and especially for visually impaired students.
