Abstract

The aim of this research is to explore the potential of employing Pottery  forming techniques such as slab construction, mold pressing, carving and addition, and relief and intaglio engraving in enhancing the sensory perception, fine observation skills, spatial ability, analysis, deduction, and concept formation of visually impaired individuals, in accordance with their perceptual capabilities,These techniques are to be integrated into a set of structured activities designed as an educational game, emphasizing the relationship between tactile sensory perception and the cognitive outcomes of visually impaired individuals. These outcomes are based on four key tactile skills: recognition, differentiation, interpretation, and understanding the relationship between the whole and the part, which are psychologically organized to develop tactile-based experiences during play,The objective is to instill cultural and civilizational identity in visually impaired individuals by incorporating fundamental elements from history and heritage, specifically inspired by Pharaonic civilization, its symbols, and artistic styles, Through self-experimentation, the researcher designed and implemented ten educational game models. To evaluate their effectiveness, an assessment form was developed, covering three key areas:) Pottery forming skills- Indicators of cultural and civilizational identity - Educational and sensory principles for producing educational games for the visually impaired (The evaluation results indicate a predictive level suggesting the feasibility of using these models to reinforce cultural civilizational identity among visually impaired children aged 8 to 10 years.
