Análise de recursos didáticos e materiais de aprendizagem no ensino de biologia para alunos com deficiência visual

Abstract

The Salamanca World Conference and the Brazilian Law for Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities ensure the inclusion and insertion of visually impaired students in regular education. Thus, it is essential that teachers use tools in order to teach the syllabus to students with visual impairments (blindness or low vision). The present work is a study of bibliographic survey, period 2011-2020, on the didactic materials used in the teaching of Biology for visually impaired students in high school. Among the didactic materials consulted, didactic resources and learning materials used by teachers were considered. The research resulted in 34 studies, of which the vast majority (40.7%) are produced for Cytology content, showing a gap in several areas of Biology. Considering all the works, the most used teaching resource was the Braille printing machines. The types of materials most used are biscuit, styrofoam and E.V.A. (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate). This study found that most materials do not address other senses, besides touch. Teachers can use didactic resources and produce learning materials that guarantee equal teaching for both visually impaired students and normovisual students. Therefore, this study suggests that teachers use teaching materials, such as audio description; books, texts and subtitles in Braille, and when possible including the stimulation of smell and taste to teach students with visual impairments, in all areas of Biology.
