ANALYSIS OF THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF MAINSTREAM TEACHERS IN NORTH MACEDONIA, SERBIA, AND BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA FOR WORKING WITH VISUALLY IMPAIRED STUDENTS

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to analyze the knowledge and skills of mainstream teachers in North Macedonia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina for working with visually impaired students. The study is based on a survey conducted among teachers who work with visually impaired students in mainstream schools in the three countries. The survey aims to identify the level of knowledge and skills of teachers in the areas of visual impairment, teaching strategies, and assistive technologies. The study found that mainstream teachers in North Macedonia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina have limited knowledge and skills in working with visually impaired students. The findings of the study highlight the need for a systematic approach to providing training and support to mainstream teachers in North Macedonia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results of this study have implications for policymakers, educators, and researchers who are working towards creating an inclusive education system that caters to the needs of all students, including visually impaired students. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on the education of visually impaired students in the Balkan region and emphasizes the importance of mainstream teachers’ role in creating an inclusive education system.
