Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of undesirable behaviors in blind and
partially sighted primary school students. The sample consisted of two groups of students:
blind (N = 19), partially sighted (N = 44), obtained from the population of students from first
to eighth grade of regular primary schools in the Tuzla Canton and the population of blind
and visually impaired boarding students also from first to eighth grade at the Center for Blind
and Visually Impaired Children and Youth Nedžarići in Sarajevo and the Center "Budućnost"
in Derventa. Variables are divided into 2 groups: independent variables and variables for
estimating the prevalence of undesirable behaviors. The obtained results were processed by
descriptive analysis and analysis of variance. By analyzing the results on the variables for
estimating the prevalence of undesirable forms of behavior, we can conclude that the two
examined groups differ statistically significantly in most of the examined variables.
Statistically significant differences in the prevalence of undesirable behaviors were shown in
younger primary school age, while statistically significant differences in the prevalence of
undesirable behaviors in blind and partially sighted students were not shown in older primary
school age.
Key words: Blind students, partially sighted students, undesirable behaviors.
