Ensino de física: uma abordagem da óptica geométrica para estudantes com deficiência visual

Abstract

The school inclusion of people with visual impairment is a subject of discussions that extend for years. Official guidance documents on inclusive education have been created and, theoretically, inclusive education is occurring. However, its application is still not satisfactory. The difficulty in the inclusive teaching of physics is even greater in view of the fact of the abstraction required to understand some curricular contents. We believe that inclusion should be an effort directed to all students and not focused only on the student with disability. For this reason we elaborated a didactic sequence to High School Physics based on Vygotsky's theory. The sequence is about Thin Lenses and has the objective of contributing to the effective inclusion of physics teaching. In our work we analyze the application of this educational product with the intention of promoting the development of teaching-learning relationship. We started working with a theoretical framework on legislation, science teaching and learning theory, a review of literature and educational methodology. The following are the modules of the didactic sequence, the results and analyzes of the application and the conclusions. The work also aims to contribute to the student to exert the right of citizenship in school practices in physics, valuing differences, creating new possibilities and perspectives for the student, making him able to issue his own value judgments in relation to social situations that Involve aspects of the knowledge of Physics, obtaining satisfactory results in inclusive education.
