Research Abstract

The purpose of this research was to clarify the problems in the training of volunteer for braille translation and tape recording for people with visual impairments. Hearing survey method to the 41 representatives of the volunteer groups in Japan was used. Contents of the survey included the number of members, the way of activities, the problems that the group had to train the new members and so on. The group that needed for an Applicant for membership to receive the training before attending the group was half of the groups interviewed. They stressed that, because the matters translated and recorded were lent to various districts, to some extend, a certain standardization was needed. The sponsors holding a training curriculum listed three problems; a low stability of applicants that finished the curriculum as a volunteer member to the group, a small number of younger applicants who might be full of vigor, and no small number of applicants who expected a reward.
