Proposta metodológica para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem do conceito de espelhos esféricos através de materiais didáticos adaptados táteis para discentes com deficiência visual

Abstract

The present work aims to contribute with the elaboration of alternative didactic materials in the teaching-learning process of the physical concepts. The idea arose from the results of the analysis of the researches that point out a lack of inclusive materials in the teaching-learning process for the visually impaired. In an attempt to fill this gap, it is proposed to elaborate tactile adapted materials for the teaching of spherical mirrors, as a pedagogic tool with a low cost potential, depending on the materials used, in order to alleviate the learning difficulties of the visually impaired. Thus, through these materials, we propose the creation of alternative inclusive materials for the conceptual explanation of the Physical phenomena which in textbooks are merely illustrative. The objective is to develop materials that give students access to illustrative figures by tactile means that make possible the understanding of the phenomena around us for different audiences. Important results of the proposal for teaching-learning process through the use of tactile materials are: (i) Include people with visual impairment; (ii) Perceive the perception of the characteristics and properties of the phenomenological objects involved in the teaching-learning process; (iii) Opportunist the construction of concepts involved in the Physical phenomenon; (iv) To effectively promote the construction of solid mental schemes based on the use of concrete materials.
