O ensino e a aprendizagem de pessoas cegas em turmas de EJA: um estudo de caso no instituto dos cegos da paraíba, em João Pessoa-PB.

Abstract

Considering the importance of understanding the teaching and learning of blind people in EJA classes, we decided to investigate the Instituto dos Cegos da Paraíba, in João Pessoa, Paraíba. This decision arose, above all, due to the family relationship established since our childhood when accompanying my Father (visually impaired) to the Institution. In this direction, we chose to expand this investigation based on a theoretical-methodological approach to the subject. The aim is to reflect on teaching and learning in an EJA class, with the specificity of visual impairment; in order to understand this process, we carried out a survey of specialized and consistent literature on the area of Special Education and EJA; subsequently, we carried out a field study, with an EJA class, from the Institute in question. Authors such as Paiva (1983) and Haddad and Di Pierro (2000), provided understanding about Youth and Adult Education, as well as Kassar (2012), together with Neves, Rahme and Ferreira (2019), about Special Education, in order to be able to infer that despite the challenges that teachers who work in EJA classes have, the possibilities are diverse to develop dynamic, active pedagogical actions based on the reality of the subjects. They also show that the specificities that special students have do not interfere with the access and appropriation of systematized knowledge.
