Abstract:
Conducted research shows lower achievements of pupils and students in subjects with a STEM focus. This study explores the inaccessible educational environment and the possibilities of providing web accessible learning resources. The goal is to develop a methodology for creating an accessible educational resource in STEM disciplines and opportunities for personalization. Surveys, statistical analysis, building and evaluating a model with customized components were used as research methods. The stages of the research include exploring the issues, identifying barriers to learning for people with disabilities, exploring practical solutions and common standards, as well as implementing an accessibility web portal. The results showed inadequate knowledge of the problems in the education of people with different disabilities on the part of teachers. On the other hand, the study of principles and standards led to the development of accessible web resources and a system of requirements for them. The created learning web portal can be used by teachers, students and pupils to achieve higher results and improve satisfaction after interacting with the learning site.
Keywords – Accessibility, STEM education, programming, students with disabilities. |
