Inclusão de alunos com deficiência visual no processo de ensino e aprendizagem na Escola Secundária Força do Povo

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the process of inclusion of students with visual impairment in the teaching and learning process, taking as a study the Força do Povo Secondary School (ESFP). The study is part of a qualitative approach, using the questionnaire and the interview as instruments of data collection. In the study, a sample of 21 professionals was used, of which 20 teachers were administered a questionnaire and the interview was applied to a professional. The study data indicate that in the ESFP the process of inclusion of students with visual impairment in the teaching and learning process is integrationist, because the school does not have didactic materials and teachers qualified to deal with students with visual impairment. Faced with this scenario, it is advisable to invest in teacher training so that teachers are able to work in different situations and can play a key role in SEN programs.
