Me ajuda a entender: website como ferramenta de apoio para professores no ensino de Química a estudantes com deficiência visual

Abstract

The present study presented in the scope of the Professional Master in Education and teaching of the Federal University of Minas Gerais aims to promote the access, through a website, to the didactic resources to the professors of Chemistry in the construction of teaching plans using pedagogical materials that can decrease Barriers between blind students and those one without deficiency. As a methodological course, a semi-structured interview was conducted with blind students and teachers from the third year of high school in a regular school located in the city of Belo Horizonte. A guiding topic was developed in order to unravel how as chemistry classes and an inclusion took place. The verbal data obtained were basic for the construction of the website. Although the issue of disability is currently marked by the discourse based on the paradigm of the search for social inclusion and the guarantee of constitutional rights, social practice is far from legitimized rights. Exclusion perpetuates itself for the vast majority of the visually impaired, since in the dominant society the sense of sight predominates. In the site, we give the teacher access to different didactic resources such as braile chemistry, articles that describe processes of elaboration and construction of periodic tables, atomic models, molecular geometries, construction of didactic materials that approach the model of visual representation for the concept solutions, gaseous transformations, isomeria, in addition to providing access to support guides that assist teachers and specialist in the care of visually impaired students present in the common classes of the regular education system.
