Abstract

Razvoj asistivnih tehnologija omogućio je osobama oštećena vida ravnopravan položaj u društvu koji dovodi do veće samostalnosti, samopoštovanja te osjećaja vlastite vrijednosti. S obzirom da većinu informacija ljudska bića dobivaju auditivnim i vizualnim putem, svaki napredak tehnologije označava korak naprijed za osobe oštećena vida.
Na tržištu postoje brojne asistivne tehnologije koje osobama oštećena vida nude veću neovisnost i samostalnost u izvršavanju svakodnevnih obaveza. S obzirom na teškoću, važno je izabrati prikladno pomagalo koje će olakšati zadatke.
Provedeno istraživanje usmjerilo se na detekciju približnog broja učenika koji koriste različita elektronička pomagala. Uvećavajući softver i hardver, govorne jedinice (čitači ekrana), brajev redak, elektronička (brajeva) bilježnica, brajev printer, OCR tehnologija, GPS, elektronski teleskopi i elektronske svjetiljke su pomagala koja su bila centar istraživanja. U ovom istraživanju uzorak je obuhvatio i slijepe i slabovidne učenike kako bi se otkrilo koja pomagala se koriste. Dobiveni rezultati predstavljaju implikaciju za daljnja istraživanja vezano uz ovo područje.

Abstract (english)

The development of assistive technologies has ensured the equal status in modern society for visually impaired individuals, increasing their independence, feeling of self-esteem and self-worth. Considering that majority of external information is perceived through auditory and visual senses, each technology advance in these areas marks a great step forward for visually impaired individuals.
There are numerous assistive technologies currently available on the market that offer greater independence and autonomy to visually impaired individuals in their everyday activities. With regard to the type of impairment, it is important to choose the appropriate aid which will facilitate those activities.
The research conducted here is focused on revealing the approximate number of pupils who use different electronic aids. Magnifying software and hardware, speech units (screen readers), braille display, electronic braille notetaker, braille printer, OCR technology, GPS, telescopic monocular and flexible-arm lamps are aids that form the centre of this research. Both blind and visually impaired pupils are included in the sample for this research with the aim of identifying which aids they use. The final results provide a foundation for further research in this area.
