Description

The purpose of the present study was to clarify through an analysis of Campbell's music education program at the Perkins Institution and Massachusetts Asylum for the Blind what factors were necessary for the development of educational programs for persons with visual disabilities in the United States, especially in relation to the development of vocational education in the 19th century. From an analysis of the educational practices of the time and the results at the Perkins Institution, it was suggested that an excellent teacher, good quality teaching materials and tools, appropriate educational content, help with finding employment for pupils, and the systematization and succession of good teaching methods were indispensable for the improvement of education, especially vocational education.
