Error Analysis of Brailled Instructional Materials Produced by Public School Personnel in Texas

Abstract: In this study, a detailed error analysis was performed to determine if patterns of errors existed in braille transcriptions. The most frequently occurring errors were the insertion of letters or words that were not contained in the original print material; the incorrect usage of the emphasis indicator; and the incorrect formatting of titles, exercises, and directions.

“…Even after direct instruction and access to the PowerPoint slides containing information and examples, none of the 17 teachers produced an error-free transcription of a worksheet containing a title and 12 math problems typical of content in grades 6 to 12. These data are similar to previous research that examined the accuracy of literary materials (Herzberg, 2010) and math materials (Herzberg & Rosenblum, 2014). For example, frequently occurring errors in this study and both previous studies were correctly formatting numbered problems, omitting words, and misconfiguring braille symbols.…”
