Abstract

This literature review aims to analyze the effectiveness of learning strategies based on experiential learning and emotional and motivational support in enhancing the learning effectiveness of visually impaired children in inclusive schools. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by examining ten academic articles published between 2022 and 2025 that focus on the education of children with special needs. The analysis revealed that visual impairments cause visually impaired children to face barriers in understanding abstract concepts presented visually, so they require concrete experiences to fully grasp the learning material. Experiential learning strategies have proven effective because they enable children to learn through tactile, auditory, and kinesthetic activities that stimulate cognitive processes and enhance active engagement. Furthermore, emotional support from teachers—in the form of empathy, psychological support, and positive reinforcement—plays a crucial role in building students’ self-confidence and intrinsic motivation. The synergy between concrete experiences and emotional support results in more meaningful and humanistic learning that focuses not only on academic outcomes but also on the psychological well-being of visually impaired children. This study underscores the importance of the teacher’s role as a facilitator who understands students’ emotional needs and individual learning characteristics. Further research is recommended to test the effectiveness of these strategies through an empirical approach in inclusive schools to obtain practical data that supports the development of adaptive learning models for students with visual impairments.
