Impressão 3d e inclusão matemática: interfaces entre tecnologia assistiva, DUA e Feelipa

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the use of assistive material produced through 3D printing for teaching mathematics to students with visual impairments highlighting its integration with Universal Design for Learning (UDL), originally from Universal Design (UD) an aimed at creating adaptations that are usable by all individuals, as well as with the Feelipa Code. The study revisits previously published work that employed the adapted material as a pedagogical resource to make mathematical content more accessible. The proposal seeks to identify how manipulable materials produced with 3D printers can support the teaching and learning processes of blind and low-vision students. The importance of UDL is emphasized as a practical an inclusive pedagogical framework that values diversity and flexibility in instruction, while the Feelipa Code is present as a complementary tool that broadens learning possibilities for these students. The research is organized in a multipaper format, composed of three scientific articles, each contributing innovations to the initial proposal. The fist article is a meta-resaerch study on the use of 3D printing in mathematics education for blind students; the second article, already published, reports the experience of implementing an adapted instructional material, produced with 3D printer, with a blind student; and the third article examines the potential of the material produced, expanding its resource contributes meaningfully to students learning, while also highlighting ongoing challenges related to adapting mathematical instruction for students with visual impairments.
