Listening to or looking at models: Learning about dynamic complex systems in science among learners who are blind and learners who are sighted Open
Background Students who are blind are integrated into public schools in many countries, yet are often excluded from full participation in science since most learning materials are visual. To create a compensatory route, an existing model‐b…
