Family Support on Teaching Heat Radiation Transfer to Children with Visual Impairment

Abstract

This study aimed to provide the ability of family members to teach heat radiation transfer through radiation to children with visual impairment in the family environment. This study used an experimental demonstration method. The subjects in this study were two children with visual impairment. Heat material was given to families who taught blind children about heat transfer through radiation. Besides, these family members also demonstrated experimental experiments explaining heat radiation transfer. The results of this study indicate that the ability of children with visual impairment to understand heat increases compared to the ability before being given intervention from the family. The success in understanding radiation heat transfer is caused by patience in teaching children with visual impairments. The learning environment in the child's home allows children to learn heat radiation transfer calmly and comfortably. Family support can be a solution in helping children learn, especially about heat transfer through radiation.
