Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2015-08) Joshi, Neha; Singh, RituAn individual receives impressions of the world through his sense organs. Senses are said to be the gateway to knowledge. More impressions reach the brain through the sense of sight than through all other senses combined. It has been thus, said that “eyes are the windows of the soul”. Thus, lack of sight makes the individual blind and aloof from the physical world. The present study was undertaken to assess the difference, if any, exists in the levels of educational aspirations and achievement motivation of visually impaired and sighted enrolled under inclusive and exclusive education in Uttarakhand. It has been realized that, there is a need to identify whether educational aspirations and motivation in inclusive and exclusive settings of visually impaired adolescent and sighted adolescent does make any differences. The sample for the present study comprised of four groups viz. a) visually impaired adolescents from exclusive educational settings b) visually impaired adolescents from inclusive educational settings c) Sighted adolescents from inclusive educational settings d) Sighted adolescents from exclusive educational settings .50 respondents were randomly selected under each group of sample from the identified locale so as to make a total sample of 200 respondents for the study. Educational aspiration and achievement motivation of the population under study was assessed by employing two tools viz. Level of Educational Aspiration Test (LEAT) developed by Dr. Yashmin Ghani Khan.(1999) and Achievement Motivation Scale (n-Ach) developed by Prof. Pratibha Deo and Dr. Asha Mohan(1985). The present study revealed that Education aspiration was found to be significantly higher in visually impaired adolescents of exclusive education as compared to visually impaired adolescents of inclusive education in all the domains of educational aspiration except reality of aspired goals. In sighted adolescents education aspiration was found to be significantly higher in inclusive education in family support and pupil’s view domain. However for the pupil’s effort and reality of aspired goals domains in sighted adolescents from exclusive education were found to be higher. Achievement motivation was found to be significantly higher in visually impaired adolescents of exclusive education as compared to visually impaired adolescents of inclusive education Socio –demographic and socioeconomic variables also influenced the levels of educational aspiration and achievement motivation. Significant difference was observed in terms of level of educational aspiration across gender in inclusive education of visually impaired adolescents and sighted adolescents of exclusive education, across birth order in inclusive and exclusive education of sighted adolescents, across number of siblings in inclusive and exclusive educational settings of visually impaired adolescents, across visual impairment in exclusive education, across visual impairment onset in inclusive education, across father’s and mother’s education in inclusive and exclusive education of visually impaired adolescents and sighted adolescents.
