The importance of removing barriers to accessing STEM instructional materials is paramount to broadening the representation of students with visual impairments in STEM careers. Tactile graphics are important STEM instructional aids, but they are often difficult to understand or have limited content compared to the original. This project aims to conduct a synthesis of the existing body of knowledge of student experiences with tactile graphics to develop a set of best practices and establish baselines for future research in this field. The project will build capacity for conducting education research through trainings in systematic review of published literature and STEM pedagogy involving students with visual impairments. This project will establish a base of evidence incorporating empirical data on experiences of students with visual impairments with tactile graphics in STEM courses to inform practice and further research. Using critical interpretive synthesis, the scope of this project is to conduct a systematic review of literature published since 2000 that focuses on students with visual impairments at any education level, discipline, and classroom setting. The dissemination plan aims to include peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations, reports for practitioners, and a project website. The project is supported through the EHR Core Research: Building Capacity in STEM Education Research (ECR: BCSER) competition that is designed to build individuals’ capacity to carry out high quality fundamental STEM education research in STEM learning and learning environments, broadening participation in STEM fields, and STEM workforce development.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

消除障碍获得STEM教学材料的重要性对于扩大STEM职业视觉障碍的学生的代表性至关重要。触觉图形是重要的STEM教学辅助工具，但是与原始图形相比，它们通常很难理解或内容有限。该项目旨在综合触觉图形的学生经历的现有知识体系，以开发一系列最佳实践，并为该领域的未来研究建立基准。该项目将通过对已发表文献的系统审查进行培训来建立教育研究的能力，而STEM教育学涉及视觉障碍的学生。该项目将建立有证据基础的基础，以了解具有触觉图形的视觉障碍的学生在STEM课程中的经验，以告知实践和进一步研究。使用关键的解释性综合，该项目的范围是对自2000年以来发表的文献进行系统评价，重点是在任何教育水平，纪律和课堂环境中具有视觉障碍的学生。该分发计划旨在包括经过同行评审的期刊，会议演讲，从业者的报告和项目网站。该项目得到了EHR核心研究的支持：STEM教育研究（ECR：BCSER）竞争的建立能力，旨在建立个人在STEM学习和学习环境中进行高质量的基本STEM教育研究的能力，扩大STEM劳动领域的参与以及STEM Formforce开发的参与，并通过评估官员的范围来表现出良好的范围。
