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.

消除获取 STEM 教学材料的障碍对于扩大有视觉障碍的学生在 STEM 职业中的代表性至关重要。触觉图形是重要的 STEM 教学辅助工具，但与原始图形相比，它们通常难以理解或内容有限。该项目旨在通过触觉图形对学生体验的现有知识进行综合，以开发一套最佳实践，并为该领域的未来研究建立基线。该项目将通过系统审查培训来建立进行教育研究的能力。发表该项目将建立一个证据基础，将视觉障碍学生的经验数据与 STEM 课程中的触觉图形结合起来，为实践和进一步的研究提供指导。该项目旨在对 2000 年以来发表的文献进行系统回顾，重点关注任何教育水平、学科和课堂环境中的视力障碍学生。该传播计划旨在包括同行评审的期刊、会议演示和报告。该项目得到 EHR 核心研究：STEM 教育研究能力建设（ECR：BCSER）竞赛的支持，该竞赛旨在培养个人在 STEM 学习和领域开展高质量基础 STEM 教育研究的能力。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
