Assessment Practices for Students with Disabilities in Colleges and Universities: Experiences of Students with Visual Impairments at the University of Education, Winneba-Ghana

This phenomenological study explored the experiences of students with visual impairments regarding assessment of learning at University of Education, Winneba. Data was gathered through focus group discussions from 30 undergraduate students with visual impairments who were purposively sampled from levels 200, 300 and 400. Thematic analysis was employed for the data analysis. Findings of the study suggests that students with visual impairments were fairly satisfied with their experiences regarding learning in the institution. The researchers recommended that more research should be conducted with a larger sample from various higher institutions in Ghana. It is further recommended that faculty members should work collaboratively with staff of the disability desk to improve the learning experiences of students with visual impairments in the university system.
