Chinese writing systems for visually impaired persons : analysis and assessment

Grotz, Jurgen-Ludwig January 1996 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to analyse and assess Chinese writing systems for visually impaired persons. The study provides a general description of the Chinese character script, the reform of Chinese language and the reform of Chinese character script. It reviews past and contemporary Chinese writing systems for visually impaired persons and gives a general description of the currently used Chinese writing systems for visually impaired persons. The different Chinese writing systems for visually impaired persons are discussed and the nature of the relationship between speech and writing in Chinese is taken into account. The discussion concludes that change to the existing writing systems for visually impaired persons is essential in order to provide for the full and equal participation of visually impaired persons in Chinese society and culture. The theoretical possibilities for achievable and worthwhile improvements to the systems are assessed. The assessment is set in a wider context by taking into account developments in other societies, notably Japan and Korea, where there are similarities in problems associated with non-alphabetic scripts. Developments in communications and computer technology and their relationship to visually impaired users are also considered. The results of field research conducted in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Britain are used to put these assessments into perspective. The field research constituted a pilot study since no previous such studies had been made. It was concerned with visually impaired users' perceptions of Chinese script and Chinese writing systems for visually impaired persons. The thesis of this work is that significant improvements could be brought about by changing Chinese writing systems for visually impaired persons. Key issues for such improvements are identified and a framework for change is established. To illustrate the framework and the issues which might arise in its implementation 1000 Chinese characters have been encoded with Braille symbols but no attempt has been made to achieve a comprehensive encoding. This could and should be left to bodies in China, entrusted with the detailed elaboration and practical implementation of the changes.

Be (longing)

Krogh-Jacobsen, Louise Sille January 2012 (has links)
At my part time presentation, I was told, "The key could be a visual picture of What you are dealing with and expressing with your work" At same occasion I was asked, "What will happen if you embrace a serious topic?". These two phases could frame the content of what I have been investigating and dealing with during my Master project. I wanted to work with general aspects connected to our existences and I wanted to approach a personal matter. During my Master project, I have been trying to encircle aspects as loss, belonging and identity. In my artistic practices, I used experiences from my own life, which I tried to transform and unfold visually. I adapted Braille into my artistic process, as a metaphor for communicating and expressing aspects that aren't evident as emotions, memories, and personal experiences. These are accessible to some, to the insiders, but out of reach to others, the outsiders. During my BA in 2009, I was working with similar aspects with an approach as an observer, from a distance, in my Masterwork, I changed the position of being an observer, by including personal experiences into my artistic process. / <p>En PDF av uppsatsen finns arkiverad i DiVA och kan hämtas av administratör</p>

Para tal, participaram 03 estudantes cegos congênitos, 01 do primeiro ano e 02 do terceiro ano do Ensino Médio, de uma escola pública do Recife. Participaram também os pais/cuidadores de cada um dos alunos cegos e seus professores. Para efetivação dos objetivos, foram realizadas entrevistas individuais com os pais/cuidadores e professores, e entrevistas individuais e sessões de compreensão textual com os alunos. A atividade de compreensão consistiu em responder a perguntas inferenciais sobre dois textos escolhidos: um narrativo (A verdade) e um argumentativo (O papel do cheiro), que foram divididos em partes previamente estabelecidas pelo pesquisador. A análise dos dados foi de natureza qualitativa e realizada em duas etapas. A primeira foi a análise das entrevistas e a segunda, a análise das sessões de compreensão textual. Foram encontrados os seguintes resultados: 1) relação entre a estimulação precoce favorecida pela família e o processo de aprendizagem do Braille, pois, quando não era fornecido ao participante cego esse tipo de estimulação, mais especificamente a tátil, ele acabava tendo maiores dificuldades no aprendizado do Braille, o que refletia negativamente nos seus hábitos de leitura. Porém, a relação oposta também foi constatada; 2) averiguou-se como as mediações entre o aluno cego e as práticas de leitura favorecidas pelos professores tinham uma influência negativa nos hábitos de leitura com a família, afinal, como o trabalho com a leitura em sala de aula não tem despertado o prazer pelo ato de ler nos alunos cegos, então, esse aluno perde o interesse em compartilhar com seus familiares as leituras que foram realizadas na escola; 3) observou-se uma segregação no trabalho com a leitura, na escola, e que esta segregação acabava deixando lacunas no que diz respeito às atividades envolvendo o contato com textos em Braille. Assim, o processo de formação de leitores acabava sendo prejudicado, sendo necessário que o aluno cego buscasse em outros ambientes formas de acesso à leitura que pudessem favorecer esse processo, como era o caso do computador; 4) verificou-se que a escola exerce um papel relevante, pois foi reservado à ela a função de presevar as práticas do Braille, mostrando-se, também, fundamental para a superação da timidez e ganhos no desenvolvimento social de um participante; 5) em relação à compreensão textual dos alunos, em vários momentos, eles demonstraram dificuldade em integrar os seus conhecimentos prévios às informações textuais para o estabelecimento das inferências. Em outros, eles produziram muitas inferências esperadas, sendo estas, na maioria, de base textual, pois os participantes se preocuparam em buscar as respostas exclusivamente a partir das informações presentes na superfície textual, em especial, no texto argumentativo

El tema de la presente investigación es «Las percepciones de los docentes del colegio público Luis Braille en Lima-Perú sobre las dificultades que presentan los niños con discapacidad visual al aprender el sistema braille, 2018». El objetivo general es explorar cuáles son las dificultades del aprendizaje del braille en niños con discapacidad visual según las percepciones de sus docentes. Para ello, como parte de los objetivos específicos, se realiza una breve revisión de las investigaciones acerca de nuestro tema en el Perú y en el mundo. Además, para propósitos de esta investigación, se parte de un enfoque cualitativo situado en el paradigma interpretativo, en la dimensión epistemológica, con base en el método de análisis de entrevistas. Los resultados de la investigación muestran que algunas de las dificultades están altamente relacionadas con la situación familiar, la falta de materiales en las instituciones educativas, y las deficiencias en gestiones nacionales e institucionales a favor de las personas con discapacidad visual. / The following article discusses about the “The perceptions of teachers from the Louis Braille Public School in Lima-Peru about the difficulties in children with visual impairment when learning Braille system, 2018”.
