Produção e utilização de material tátil no ensino de eletromagnetismo para alunos com e sem deficiência visual

Abstract

Inclusion has been one of the big problems of educational institutions nowadays, because only the growth of the presence handicapped people in schools does not ensure quality of education. It is necessary that the teaching methodology applied to handicapped students inclusion is differentiated in order to achieve the desired objectives. This work aims to contribute with the production of an inclusive tactile tool that assists both students with and without visual deficiency in physics classes. For that, some electromagnetism concepts, which are fairly relevant in practice applications of students reality were addressed. The proposed educational method was applied in a middle school from the city of Fortaleza, in a group where there are students with visual deficit and the produced tactile set aims to help students understand physics concepts regarding electromagnetism. This paper deals with a qualitative research that presents description and development of the proposed activities about the approached topic of physics. It is expected that the produced material serves as a support for physics teachers of regular schools when they encounter visual impaired students.
