A tecnologia assistiva no ensino de geometria para alunos com deficiência visual no ensino básico

Abstract

This research, of qualitative approach, presents as theme the Assistive Technology in teaching geometry to visually impaired students in basic education. It seeks, through this, to highlight the contributions that Assistive Technology brings to the teaching and learning of the geometry content for these students, in order to promote their autonomy in performing common autonomy in performing common activities in regular education classes. A literature review, in this research, considered studies related to geometry teaching and school inclusion, using Assistive Technologies. Assistive Technology. In the pedagogical intervention, mathematical concepts were addressed Geometry: Lines, points, plan, vertices and construction of geometric shapes geometric shapes, with an 8th grade student of the Elementary School of a municipal school, and another student of the 1st year of high school, the State Secretariat of Education of Amazonas (SEDUC), both in the city of Manaus, which had with two visually impaired students. For the development of the activities, adapted didactic material was elaborated, to help blind students. After the application of the activities, it was possible to observe the contribution of the use of Assistive Technology for teaching geometry, especially, the flat the students with visual impairment, allowing them to understand and learn mathematical mathematical concepts. Key-Words: School inclusion. Assistive Technology. Plane geometry. Visual impairment.
