Desenho geométrico e deficiência visual

Abstract

This article is the result of a three-term qualitative research made in Geometrical Drawing, a discipline offered to students of Licensure in Mathematics at the UECE. Its content was partially adapted for blind persons. Observations with partakers and non-directive interviews were made, in order to verify if the students knew what they were constructing geometrically, and if they were able to teach Geometrical Drawing to high school visually impaired students. Space perception, confection and problem situations solving were the criteria adopted by the researcher, aiming at learning analysis. The performance of 37 of the 54 accompanied students was considered satisfactory, since they knew how to make and explain geometrical constructions, as well as to make up problem situations.
