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视力障碍学生在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。该项目旨在对学生使用触觉图形的经验的现有知识体系进行综合，以制定一套最佳做法，并为该领域的未来研究建立基线。该项目将通过系统审查已发表文献和涉及视力障碍学生的STEM教学法方面的培训，建设开展教育研究的能力。该项目将建立一个证据基础，结合视觉障碍学生在STEM课程中使用触觉图形的经验数据，为实践和进一步研究提供信息。使用关键的解释性合成，这个项目的范围是自2000年以来发表的文献进行系统的审查，重点是在任何教育水平，学科和课堂环境的视觉障碍的学生。传播计划旨在包括同行评审期刊、会议报告、从业人员报告和项目网站。EHR核心研究：STEM教育研究能力建设（ECR：BCSER）竞赛，旨在培养个人在STEM学习和学习环境中开展高质量基础STEM教育研究的能力，扩大STEM领域的参与，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识产权进行评估来支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
