The scientific literacy requires ability to use
scientific knowledge, to comprehend the world through identifying problems and
making results based on evidence, and to make decisions as to the changes
caused by human activities. Each person fulfilling the requirements of scientific
literacy can be scientifically literate. However, there is a prejudice in the
society that visually impaired person cannot not be scientifically literate due
to the lack of power of vision. Therefore, a descriptive case study was
conducted to identify the perceptions of academicians (teacher educators)
regarding the development of scientific literacy by visually impaired people.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with teacher educators and data
gathered from interviews was analyzed and presented in descriptive manner.
According to the results, there is a consensus among teacher educators which
visually impaired people can be scientifically literate provided that necessary
training is provided.
