O ensino de óptica geométrica por meio dos problemas de visão e as lentes corretoras: uma unidade de ensino no contexto da educação inclusiva para surdos

Abstract

Nowadays, the educational inclusion of deaf students in regular schools has been more and more evident on the national scene, because this issue has a huge relevance in the achievement of a more fair and egalitarian society for all. Therefore, the teaching of Physics could not be out of that social and political movement that we are experiencing, and lined in this perspective, this searching work has as a goal to relate the development and implementation of of a Significant Potentially Teaching Unit turned to an inclusive environment, on the ambit of the Meaningful Learning on the physics knowledge, for non-deaf and deaf students. In this process, it was elaborated a didactic material for the teaching of some concepts of geometrical optics by theme "the vision problems and corrective lenses". And it was opted as an orientation the Meaningful Learning Theory, the SOLO taxonomy, the principles of Inclusive Education and the Education of Deaf Ones on the bilingual perspective. From the implementation of a Education Unit, it was possible to check evidences of Meaningful Learning of geometrical optics which refers to the main vision problems and the functioning of the spherical lenses. As a conclusion, it is recommended that the teaching of Physics for deaf students can be developed through a visual pedagogy which answers minutely the cultural and linguistic differences of those students, that way giving emphasis to visual resources such as videos, simple experiments and interactive programs
