Education of persons with visual impairment in Nigeria is functional education in that literacy education is designed alongside with functional skills which include vocational skills. However, the present educational system is observed to be producing graduates who solely depend on white colar jobs rather than practicing vocational skills that could meet their ends, thus, increasing unemployment rate and poverty in the country. This study takes a look at the situation from grass root level of education by examining the perspective of the primary school teachers towards this matter. Using a descriptive survey approach, twenty five teachers were randomly selected from five selected primary schools for children with visual impairment across Oyo State. The findings revealed that majority of the teachers agreed that children with visual impairment can earn good living from their vocational skills later in life, but 36% of the teachers are not interested to encourage the pupils to learn the skills. Factors such as lack of suitable market for vocational products, negative societal attitude to products made by persons with visual impairment, and lack of human and material resources and well-equipped vocational workshops in schools are the reasons for their responses. One of the recommendations made is that stakeholders in the country and international donors should assist in providing well-equipped vocational workshops in all primary schools for children with visual impairment in the state. Schools are also requested to collaborate with rehabilitation workshops to organize periodical exhibition and invite members of the public, in order to create a marketing platform for their products. Finally, primary school teachers are advised to encourage pupils with visual impairment to learn various vocational skills as much as they have the capacity to do so in order to prepare them for the challenges ahead.]]>

0 Perception, Interest and Socio-Economic Status of Teachers of Students with Visual Impairment in Training: Its Implications on Quality Teacher Training in Oyo State, Nigeria /slideshow/perception-interest-and-socioeconomic-status-of-teachers-of-students-with-visual-impairment-in-training-its-implications-on-quality-teacher-training-in-oyo-state-nigeria/57955276 adeyemiodewenwa-160206160144
This study examines the implications of perception, interest and socio-economic status of teachers of students with visual impairment who are in training on quality teacher training in Oyo State, Nigeria. Survey research design was used. Forty-three (43) participants were randomly selected. The instruments used were “Questionnaire on Perception and Interest of Teachers in Training in Education of Persons with Visual Impairment and adapted version of Socio-Economic Status of a Family Scale of Aggarwal, Bhasin, Sharma, Chhabra, Aggarwal & Rajoura, 2005. The instruments were tested and reliability index of 0.71 and 0.69 were obtained respectively. Mean and Pearson Product’s Moment Correlation at 0.05 level of significance were used to analyse the data. The results revealed the teachers of students with visual in training have positive perception and interest in their training. While no significant relationship was found between their interest and socio-economic status, a relationship was found between perception and socio-economic status. The study therefore recommends that Student’s interest should be tested in all teacher training programmes prior to admission into special needs education generally and education of persons with visual impairment in particular.]]>
