Materiais adaptados ao ensino de genética básica como recurso de inclusão de alunos com deficiência visual: elaboração, aplicação e avaliação de recurso tátil

Abstract

Teaching biology classes for the visually impaired (DV) is not an easy task, as this theme has contents that require abstraction, often these subjects are not assimilated by students, especially the disabled. The DV student, in particular, is able to learn significantly, but it is necessary to use adapted methodologies. This work was developed with the objective of elaborating, applying and evaluating didactic models adapted for the teaching of basic genetics to DV students inserted in higher education. The research was based on a qualitative approach. Classes were taught using material adapted for DV students, psychics and teachers. The materials were worked in order to facilitate the tactile and auditory sense. After the classes, questionnaires were applied to the participants to evaluate the method. From the evaluations performed by all research subjects, it can be ensured that the developed materials provide the construction of knowledge and development of these individuals. Thus, the models were considered adapted and with great ability to assist in the learning of both visually impaired and visually impaired students. Thus, the elaboration of these materials allows to contribute to the development of competences that result in the autonomy of the visually impaired student.
