项目摘要

We observed how blind people read information which has been configured into tactile graphics. In order to recognize mapped ideas in tactile forms, we found that blind people need two types of competence. There are many graphics in modern educational media. Especially for the higher education, the complexities and difficulties of academic concepts depicted in figures are very high in the level. There are no studies of how blind students in universities use these graphic resources for studying. The National Center Test, the common university entrance examinations for national and private universities in Japan, include many pictures and these pictures are near higher education level. Graphics in tests are transformed into tactile graphics or other alternatives for blind applicants. We observed blind students' answering behavior of examination questions with tactile graphics and found that they could read many types of graphics. They understood pattern diagrams, maps ancfspictures easily, but they failed to answer questions because of lack of knowledge about the subject. They need more time to recognize statistical figures, especially for unlearned styles of graphics. Blind students are required to have at least two types of literacy for reading graphs in educational media. One is knowledge about the object of various types of graphics for academic subjects and the other is haptic pattern recognition. These results suggest that teaching how to retrieve information is as crucial as figural recognition training in education with tactile figures for the blind.

我们观察到盲人如何阅读已配置为触觉图形的信息。为了识别触觉形式的映射想法，我们发现盲人需要两种能力。现代教育媒体中有许多图形。特别是对于高等教育，数字中描述的学术概念的复杂性和困难在该水平上非常高。没有关于大学中盲人学生如何使用这些图形资源进行研究的研究。国家中心测试是日本国家和私立大学的普通大学入学考试，其中包括许多图片，这些图片接近高等教育水平。测试中的图形被转换为盲人申请人的触觉图形或其他替代方案。我们观察到盲人学生用触觉图形的检查问题的回答行为，发现他们可以阅读许多类型的图形。他们了解模式图，很容易地映射ANCFSPITS，但是由于缺乏对该主题的了解，他们未能回答问题。他们需要更多时间来识别统计数据，尤其是对于未经学习的图形风格。盲人学生必须至少具有两种类型的扫盲，以阅读教育媒体中的图形。一个是关于学术学科各种图形的对象的知识，另一个是触觉模式识别。这些结果表明，教导如何检索信息与盲人触觉人物的教育中的图形识别培训至关重要。
