The paper presents a pilot study of a mathematics lesson with 3D printed geometric shapes for shape counting tasks, intended to be used in inclusive classes with students with visual impairment. The study consists of three parts – counting squares, counting triangles and a play with a robot as the reward for participation in the session. The developed study tasks are useful and enjoyable to both the visually intact and impaired participants. The interaction with the NAO robot was one of the first scenarios developed to introduce robots to people with impaired vision in educational settings like math lessons. The overall study emphasizes the importance of developing the tactile intelligence of the students. The visually impaired participants enjoyed the acquaintance with the robot and the study design, which makes it appropriate for inclusive education.

摘要

The paper presents a pilot study of a mathematics lesson with 3D printed geometric shapes for shape counting tasks, intended to be used in inclusive classes with students with visual impairment. The study consists of three parts – counting squares, counting triangles and a play with a robot as the reward for participation in the session. The developed study tasks are useful and enjoyable to both the visually intact and impaired participants. The interaction with the NAO robot was one of the first scenarios developed to introduce robots to people with impaired vision in educational settings like math lessons. The overall study emphasizes the importance of developing the tactile intelligence of the students. The visually impaired participants enjoyed the acquaintance with the robot and the study design, which makes it appropriate for inclusive education.
