Abstract
With the increasing numbers of the Visually Impaired learners in our Inclusive
Settings due to Education for All (EF A) call, there is need of increased awareness of how to handled the visually impaired with definite success in their Performance at school and in life generally. It is often, however, presumed that learners with Visual Impairments are less capable or have less academic potential than the sighted peers.
However, Vision is only one source of information and so the teacher factor becomes very important. With the right Motivation of the learner, the Performance can be enhanced.
This is why the researcher chose to study the relationship between Motivation and Performance of the Visually Impaired learners in inclusive settings.
Two questionnaires were designed for teachers and pupils who made use of the survey design. These were taken to schools where respondents answered them. The sample was a Teacher and one Visually Impaired Learner in 15 out the 52 primary schools in the Division.
It was found that Motivation is necessary and ongoing with some amount of positive Performance. There is however, need of Special Needs Education Teachers in our Inclusive Settings who will always Motivate the learners and so produce good Performance.
