| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of the study was to investigate the level of participation of students with visual impairment in cooperative learning in eight purposively selected schools in Gulale and Arada Sub cities. In achieving the purpose of the study, descriptive survey design was used. Students with visual impairments and their sighted peers who were enrolled from grade 5-12 and their teachers were the participant of the study. The participants of the study were selected using purposive and systematic random sampling. To collect data different data gathering tools were employed. These were questionnaire, interview, classroom observation, and focus group discussion. On the top of this, both qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques was employed. The study revealed the level of participation of students with visual impairment was medium. Teachers didn’t practice Cooperative Learning properly in classroom instruction. Sitting arrangement and the classroom accessibilities being observed was found to be not suitable for practicing cooperative learning. However, cooperative learning in the class room helps students as to the develop interdependence each among other. This impels that students with visual impairments have benefited from cooperative learning with some limitation and still the application of cooperative learning needs improvement. Consequently based on the findings of the study recommendations were forwarded. | en_US |
