TECHNOLOGIES AND APPROACHES IN BRAILLE EDUCATION: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Braille education is an important tool for people with visual impairments to help them read and write and provide more educational opportunities. Despite the important role of braille in the education and freedom of individuals with visual disabilities, they face many barriers to access and learning, including a lack of trained teachers, inadequate technological resources, and limited integration of braille in mainstream education curricula. The objective of this article is to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) on technologies and approaches in braille education. This systematic review involved six articles reviewed in the PRISMA framework, which involved the selection process of articles filtered through four stages such as identification, screening, eligibility, and articles meeting the final criteria (included). Scopus and Web of Science databases from 2014 to 2024 were used in the study and assisted with Mendeley software. As a result, two themes were selected: technology and approaches in braille education. This study suggests future research evaluating the effectiveness of different approaches in different cultural and economic contexts to produce more comprehensive guidance.
