“…Finally, individual perceptions related to resources, opportunities, income, employment, and government were identified as the driving forces of quality of life. These reasons are further guided by limited evidence in previous studies conducted by Tomlinson (2016) and Correa and Beverly (1990) who discovered that education, employment and resources as key factors for improvement of quality of life. Further, it elaborates the quality of life, on how it has become an impactful life towards their visually impaired life.…”

This paper examined the extent to which socio-economic and demographic characteristics are related to the levels of vision of persons with visual impairment and blindness. A mixed method approach was employed in this study. Data collection was conducted in Siyanethugama Village in Hambanthota district and Polpithigama Divisional Secretariat in Kurunegala district in Sri Lanka. The study deployed convenient and purposive sampling techniques. Information was gathered through questionnaires and personal interviews. Overall, results revealed that level of vision vary with several socio-economic characteristics. Age and education were not related to the levels of vision in the Polpithigama region whereas in the Hambanthota region a significant relationship between age and education with levels of vision was observed. Income was not related to the level of vision. Participants' views and opinions of resources, opportunities, income, employment, and government activities were found to be the driving forces of quality of life related to vision. The study concluded that age and education need to be considered in improving quality of life related to vision and further investigations are needed to determine the relationships between levels of vision and socio-demographic characteristics and to explore perceptions related to vision impairments.

The 75th Anniversary of CEC provides an opportunity for a retrospective look at the scholarly work on special education teacher education published in this journal. In this paper, we describe a content analysis of the first 18 volumes of Teacher Education and Special Education and of all articles submitted to TESE in 1993 and 1994. Each published paper was categorized as to type, for which we developed 15 categories, and content, for which we developed 10 general descriptors. We describe the TESE literature base on both dimensions and consider changes over time. Most papers published in TESE were typified as survey research, program descriptions, or program evaluations. These paper types have been common over time, but changes have occurred for others. The analysis of submissions indicated that we receive the same kinds of papers that we publish by and large. Although the content of papers published in TESE also has changed through the years, three categories (curriculum and instruction/school practice, teachers' attributes and roles, and elements/processes of teacher education) predominated. We offer our editorial insights about the analysis and suggest directions for future research.
