Abstract | Photosensitivity is a medically recognized and documented spectrum disorder, but little known by Australian educators. Australian educators use digital media as part of contemporary classroom practice, but for students who are visually photosensitive, this learning experience can adversely affect their cognitive ability, behaviour and even stimulate physical responses such as nausea and migraine. From an online survey of 61 Australian educators, 43 completed the sections on digital media use, knowledge level and confidence. Of these 43, 21 (49%) professed no knowledge of visual photosensitivity and 17 (40%) had little or no confidence in teaching students with visual photosensitivity. The survey showed educator's preferred mode of information distribution regarding inclusive education amendments was by professional development by medical personnel. However, a small group were asked by interview and all replied with reliance on 'Google'. For 17 of the 43 educators (40%) digital media is utilized for 3 or more hours every day at school. However, information regarding pedagogies for safer classroom use of digital media for students with photosensitivity is not easily accessible to the classroom educator. (As Provided). |
