Educação especial: formas alternativas no ensino de biologia para inclusão de alunos com limitações visual e/ou auditiva

Abstract

For a long time, those who do not have physical and/or psychological conditions belonging to the great mass are neglected. Currently, however, much is discussed about ways that enable people with limitations to have conditions of equality and equity before society. Taking this into consideration, we sought to incorporate the deaf and blind universes in high school, at the level of the 1st year, through the adaption of didactic instruments related to biology. In order to make teaching more egalitarian for all, our study used 3D models made with donated or low-cost materials for purchase. These materials were prepared based on the themes in biology described in the textbook approved for use in the classroom. Associated with the models, questions about accessibility, conviviality, and respect for diferences were discussed. Our work included all three classes of the 1st year of regular high school of the "Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental e Médio José Rocha Sobrinho – EEEFMJRS", in the city of Bananeiras- PB. To complete the activities, four meetings of Brazilian Sign Language (known as “Libras") were held and five Braille language/code meetings during the year. At the end of the interventions, we realized that working with 3D models can favor the significant and lasting learning of themes in biology. In addition to promoting group work and helping classmates. As a result, we indicate that familiarization with Braille and Libras for students who do not have visual or auditory limitations takes place during the course of classes being part of the curriculum. We believe that it is possible to mean these languages to students who have little or no contact with them.
