Ontwerp van'n kurrikulum vir die onderwys van swaksiende kinders in Suid-Afrika

Schoeman, Gerhardus Henoch 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Die doel met hierdie studie is om 'n kurrikulum vir die onderwys van swaksiende kinders vanui t 'n makroperspektief te ontwerp. Van die belangrikste gevolgtrekkings waartoe in hierdie studie gekom word, dui daarop dat die kurrikula, leerplanne en -opleidingsprogramme wat in die Republiek van Suid-Afrika vir kinders met spesiale onderwysbehoeftes (wat die onderwys van swaksiende kinders insluit) voorsien word * dikwels nie toereikend is om leerlinge vir suksesvolle indiensplasing voor te berei nie; * oorwegend akademies georienteerd is; * en nie altyd tred hou met die veranderende behoeftes, eise en tendense in die arbeidsmark nie. Swaksiende kinders is as groep hoogs heterogeen en het besondere en uiteenlopende onderwys- en opleidingsbehoeftes. Ten einde 'n relevante kurrikulum vir swaksiende kinders te on twerp wat genoemde leemtes ondervang, moes hulle uni eke behoef tes sowel as die eise van die moderne arbeidsmark in aanmerking geneem word. Die voorgestelde kurrikulum is op die onderwys van swaksiende kinders in af sonderlike skole vir gesiggestremde kinders en in skole in die hoof stroom van die onderwys van toepassing en maak * enersyds voorsiening vir die effektiewe implementering van die kurrikulum wat deur die Suid-Afrikaanse onderwysowerheid op nasionale (en moontlik ook op provinsiale) vlak vir die onderwys van normaalsiende kinders voorgeskryf word, en * andersyds vir die ontsluiting en bemeestering van die noodsaaklike kompensatoriese persoonlikheids- en karaktereienskappe en algemene vaardighede, waaroor swaksiende kinders behoort te beskik ten einde hulleself na skoolverlating in die volwasse sosiale en beroepslewe te kan handhaaf. Die kurrikulummodel wat die basis vorm vir die ontwerp van hierdie kurrikulum, is sodanig aangepas dat dit uitdrukking gee aan die essensies van 'n Christelik-wysgerige perspektief op opvoeding en onderrig. / The aim of this study is to design a curriculum for the education of partially sighted children from a macro perspective. some of the most important conclusions arrived at in this study indicate that the present curricula, syllabi and training programmes which are being offered to children with special education needs (including the education of partially sighted children) in the Republic of South Africa * are often not adequate to prepare learners for successful placement; * are predominantly academically orientated; * and do not always keep track with changing needs, demands and tendencies in the labour market. Partially sighted children as a group are highly heterogeneous and have particular and diverse education and training needs. In order to design a relevant curriculum for partially sighted children which intends to eradicate the mentioned deficiencies in the present provision of education to them, their unique needs as well as the demands of the modern labour market have to be considered. The proposed curriculum is directed at the education of partially sighted children who are accommodated in separate schools for the visually impaired as well as in schools in the mainstream of education and provides * on the one hand for the effective implementation of the curriculum which is prescribed normally sighted children by for the education of the South African education authorities on national (and perhaps also on provincial) level and * on the other hand for the unlocking and mastering of the essential compensatory personality and character qualities and general skills which partially sighted children should possess in order to maintain themselves in the adult social and vocational life after leaving school. The curriculum model which formed the basis for the design of this curriculum was adadapted in such a way that it expresses the essence of a Christian philosophic perspective on education and teaching. / Teacher Education / D.Ed.

O ensino de geometria plana para uma aluna com surdocegueira no contexto escolar inclusivo / Plane geometry teaching for a student with deafblindness in the inclusive educational context

Galvão, Daiane Leszarinski 21 February 2017 (has links)
Acompanha: Manual de utilização do kit de materiais manipuláveis para o ensino de geometria plana para uma aluna com surdocegueira / Objetiva-se analisar as contribuições de atividades com materiais manipuláveis adaptados na elaboração de conceitos de geometria plana por alunos com surdocegueira. Para isso, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa aplicada com abordagem qualitativa descritiva, como estudo de caso. O estudo foi levado a efeito em uma turma do 9° ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola da rede estadual de ensino de Guarapuava - PR. Para a efetivação da pesquisa, fundamentou-se o ensino da matemática, a utilização de materiais manipuláveis e a elaboração de conceitos, inclusão escolar, surdocegueira e o seu processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Inicialmente, entrevistou-se a Pedagoga, a professora de Matemática, o intérprete de Libras e a aluna surdocega. Por meio das entrevistas, compreendeu-se o contexto escolar e como acontece o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, principalmente, na disciplina de matemática. Após a etapa das entrevistas, foi aplicada uma avaliação inicial a todos os alunos da turma, com 14 perguntas. Após análise do teste, selecionaram-se atividades que envolveram geometria plana e confeccionaram-se os materiais necessários para a aplicação. Houve também as adaptações nos materiais, de modo a suprir as necessidades da aluna com surdocegueira. Na etapa seguinte, houve a intervenção pedagógica, na qual todos os alunos participaram desenvolvendo atividades que utilizavam o mesmo material adaptado para a aluna com surdocegueira, sendo assim, não houve distinção entre as atividades e os materiais utilizados pela aluna com surdocegueira e os demais alunos. Esse material foi denominado de “Kit de Materiais Manipuláveis Adaptados”, que é composto por uma coletânea de atividades selecionadas pela pesquisadora. As etapas da formação dos conceitos de Galperin (2009a) serviram de base para a intervenção pedagógica, que demonstrou grande progresso dos alunos na elaboração dos conceitos de geometria plana. Com a aplicação de teste final, após a intervenção pedagógica, verificou-se que os resultados foram positivos, visto que a aluna com surdocegueira teve um aproveitamento inicial de 53%, passando para 92% no teste final. O desempenho da turma passou de 54% no teste inicial para 81% no teste final, após a intervenção pedagógica. Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciam que estratégias de ensino com objetivos bem traçados contribuem para que os alunos, com deficiência ou não, se apropriem do conteúdo escolar, no caso da pesquisa eles elaboraram conceitos matemáticos. / This research intends to analyses the contributions activities with adapted manipulable materials in formulation of plane geometry concepts by students with deafblindness. For this, an applied research with qualitative descriptive approach, characterizing this as a case study was developed. The study happened in a class of 9th year of Elementary School at a state education school, in Guarapuava - PR. In order to actualize the research, the mathematics teaching, the use of manipulable materials and concepts elaboration, school inclusion, deafblindness and its teaching and learning process were substantiated. Initially, the school pedagogue, the Math professor, the Libras interpreter and the student with deafblindness were interviewed. By the interviews, the school inclusive context and how the teaching and learning process is made were understood, principally, in Mathematics. After interviews step, an initial test, composed by fourteen questions, was aplied for all students in the class. After the analyses of the test, were selected some activities involving plane geometry and the needed material to the application of this activities was made. There were, also, adaptations in the material, in order to meet the needs of the student with deafblindness. In the next step, there was the pedagogical intervention, in which all students participated developing activities using the same adapted material made for the student with deafblindness, therefore, there wasn’t distinctions between the activities and materials used by the student with deafblindness and the other students. This material was denominated “Adapted Manipulable Materials Kit”, that is composed by a collection of activities selected by the researcher. The steps of concepts formation of Galperin (2009a) were the base to the pedagogical intervention, that demonstrate great progress of the students in the plane geometry concepts formulation. By the application of final test, after the pedagogical intervention, were found positive results, since the student with deafblindness had an initial school achievement of 53%, passing to 92% in the final test. The performance of the class went from 54% in the initial test to 81% in the final test, after the pedagogical intervention. The research results evidence that teaching strategies with well-designed goals contribute to that students, with deficiency or not, appropriate the scholar content, in this case, they elaborated mathematical concepts.

Ensino da língua portuguesa na perspectiva da inclusão do aluno cego no nível fundamental

Cunha, Marleide dos Santos 03 March 2015 (has links)
The general purpose of this research was to analyze the Portuguese language teaching in a literacy class and in the 8th year of an elementary school, having, as empirical field, an institution that provides Specialized Educational Assistance for visually impaired people in Sergipe and a regular classroom with blind students included, in a public school in Aracaju. Thus, in order to fill a lack of research about Portuguese language teaching of to people with blindness in the capital of Sergipe, we used the qualitative case study methodology. Data collection instruments were semi-structured interviews, unsystematic and systematic observations, literature review and document analysis. The results allow us to say that Portuguese language teaching in the observed classes is disconnected from the social uses of reading and writing. Resources of Assistive Technology (AT) in the two classes are barely explored. Even considering that, in undergraduate curricula of Letters/Portuguese and Pedagogy courses, there are subjects that address the basic contents legally required to train teachers in the perspective of inclusive education, the educators still consider themselves unprepared to teach students with disabilities. It shows a total dependence on the help that students receive from the Specialized Educational Assistance, since the experts teachers of this service are usually trained in content updates courses about inclusion. On the other hand, regular Portuguese teachers and the ones of the Specialized Educational Assistance are not used to work cooperatively. Finally, this study points out the reality found and strengthens the hope we are advancing in the search for teaching strategies that address the needs of blind students in a school that aims at the effectiveness of inclusive education. / O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi analisar o ensino da Língua Portuguesa em uma turma de alfabetização e no 8º ano do Ensino Fundamental, tendo como campo empírico uma instituição que proporciona Atendimento Educacional Especializado a pessoas com deficiência visual em Sergipe e uma sala de aula do ensino regular com alunos cegos incluídos, em uma escola pública da cidade de Aracaju. Desse modo, visando atuar em uma lacuna de pesquisas sobre o ensino da Língua Portuguesa à pessoa com cegueira na capital do estado de Sergipe, utilizamos o método de estudo de caso com abordagem qualitativa. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram entrevistas semiestruturadas, observações assistemáticas e sistemáticas, revisão bibliográfica e análises documentais. Os resultados possibilitam-nos dizer que o ensino da Língua Portuguesa nas turmas analisadas é desvinculado dos usos sociais da leitura e da escrita. Os recursos de Tecnologia Assistiva (TA) nas duas turmas praticamente não são explorados. Ainda que já existam, nos currículos de licenciatura em Letras/Português e Pedagogia, disciplinas que contemplam o conteúdo básico legalmente exigido para a formação do professor na perspectiva da educação inclusiva, ainda assim os docentes consideram-se despreparados para dar aulas a alunos com deficiência. Nota-se uma total dependência em relação ao auxílio que o aluno recebe no Atendimento Educacional Especializado, visto que são esses professores especialistas que normalmente participam de cursos de atualizações de conteúdos na área da inclusão. Por outro lado, os professores da sala de Língua Portuguesa e do Atendimento Educacional Especializado em nenhum momento trabalham de modo articulado. Diante disso, o estudo aponta a realidade encontrada e fortalece a esperança de estarmos avançando na busca por estratégias de ensino que contemplem as necessidades do aluno cego, em uma escola que almeja a eficácia da educação inclusiva.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Aline Martins de Almeida.pdf: 5380028 bytes, checksum: 767612e7e5ac03375c8be03ec453ba6e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-02-22 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This study was aimed at analyzing the processes of implementation, appropriation and adaptation of the intuitive method on the schooling of blind and deaf students from the late 1850s to the mid-20th century by performing a social, historical and cultural contextualization of the implementation of the National Institute for the Education of the Deaf (INES), the Benjamin Constant Institute (IBC) and the intellectuals who led this movement on a national and international level, locating these institutions within two political moments and positions: the imperial regime and the liberal republican movement - begun at the end of the nineteenth century - which elected the school as a privileged place to create the ideal citizen. The school, intended to meet the current control, vigilance and hygiene standards at the time, was designed to shape normal or abnormal children under the sign of modernity, technology and medical-pedagogical-disciplinary knowledge from new methods and materials presented at Congresses and International Expositions as a mechanism of "concert of nations" and instrument of science, cooperation, specialization, order, rationality and efficiency, promoting the foundation of morality and the good customs of peoples. Thus, children – and above all the impaired - schooling began to conceive different pedagogical practices: for the education of the blind, the learning of reading and writing through the Braille system and for the deaf, the learning of communication through sign language or oralization. With different systems of reading, writing and communication acquisition, the intuitive method, the lessons of things and the education of the senses permeated the practices, speeches and teaching methodologies inside these institutes, which promoted the object and central question of this study: how to educate the senses in the absence of one of them? For the answer, this research was based on school material culture, seeking to understand the daily life of these institutes through their languages, methods and practices collected from a documentary corpus that involved legislation of the period, textbooks, compendia, inspection reports, congress minutes, tuition books, class journals, teaching artifacts, and photographs. By implementing new techniques, such as the use of laboratories, the recognition of sensoriality, work and citizenship training in favor of a "civilized and educated man", great learning community areas were generated, extensive to abnormal sensorial childhood, providing the primacy of the School through specific pedagogical investments – those are some examples of the circulation, appropriation, transnationalization and internationalization of ideas present in this period / Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar os processos de implantação, apropriação e adaptação do método intuitivo sobre a escolarização dos alunos cegos e surdos desde o final da década de cinquenta do século XIX até meados do século XX, realizando uma contextualização sócio, histórica e cultural da implantação do Instituto Nacional para a Educação dos Surdos (INES), do Instituto Benjamin Constant (IBC) e dos intelectuais que lideraram este movimento em âmbito nacional e internacional, localizando estas instituições dentro de dois momentos e posições políticas: o regime imperial e o movimento liberal republicano, iniciado no final do século XIX, que elegia a escola como um local privilegiado para que fosse criado o ideal cidadão. A escola, que visava o atendimento às normas de controle, vigilância e higiene vigentes na época, era destinada a formar crianças normais ou anormais sob o signo da modernidade, tecnologia e saberes médico-pedagógicos-disciplinadores a partir de novos métodos e materiais apresentados em Congressos e Exposições Internacionais como mecanismo de “concerto das nações” e instrumento de ciência, cooperação, especialização, ordem, racionalidade e eficiência, promovendo o alicerce da moral e dos bons costumes dos povos. Destarte, a escolarização da infância e, sobretudo, dos anormais sensoriais passaram a conceber distintas práticas pedagógicas: para a educação dos cegos, a aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita por meio do sistema braille e para os surdos, a aprendizagem da comunicação por meio da linguagem de sinais ou da oralização. Com distintos sistemas de aquisição da leitura, escrita e comunicação, o método intuitivo, as lições de coisas e a educação dos sentidos permearam as práticas, discursos e metodologias de ensino no interior destes institutos, o que promoveram o objeto e a questão central deste estudo: como educar os sentidos na ausência de um deles? Para tal resposta, esta pesquisa teve como base a cultura material escolar, buscando compreender o cotidiano destes institutos por meio de suas linguagens, métodos e práticas por meio do intermédio de um corpus documental que envolveu legislações do período, manuais de ensino, compêndios, relatórios de inspeção, atas de congressos, jornais, livros de matrículas, diários de classe, artefatos de ensino e fotografias. Com a introdução de novas técnicas, como o uso de laboratórios, o reconhecimento da sensorialidade, a formação para o trabalho e para a cidadania em prol de um “homem civilizado e educado”, geraram zonas de grande comunidade aprendente, extensiva à infância anormal sensorial, proporcionando o primado da Escola por meio de investimentos pedagógicos específicos – são alguns exemplos da circulação, apropriação, transnacionalização e internacionalização de ideias presentes neste período

O processo educacional do cego em Aracaju (1950-1970)

Nunes, Patrícia Matos Souza 29 May 2013 (has links)
Doing an analysis of the circumstance about the education of disabled person, we identify mechanisms of segregation and exclusion promoted by welfares and philanthropic politics. Before addition, the objective of this study is to understand how the educational process of blind in Aracaju started. As theoretical basis, this research is based in the assumptions of Cultural History because this perspective shows a preoccupation with anonymous populations, their modes of living, feeling and thinking. The sources used were Official Documents, Records, magazines, newspapers, laws, testimonials and other. These different registers were collected in file located in Aracaju and Rio de Janeiro. We have searched on the file of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Aracaju, in the Historical and Geographic Institute, Epifânio Dórea Library in Aracaju; and in the file of the Benjamin Constant Institute, at Rio de Janeiro. The testimonials were collected through semi structured interview with the first teachers who worked with the blind education in Aracaju. The timeframe comprises the 50-70 decades in the twenty century, since this time was characterized by the beginning of the institution that provided education treatment to the disabled people. The first schools to blind were the Escola de Reabilitação dos Cegos de Aracaju, founded by the Bishop Dom Fernando Gomes and the Escola de Cegos Lyon s Club that worked at the Centro de Reabilitação Ninota Garcia . The main categories of analisys used were: scholar culture, scholar material culture, representation and appropriation. We hope, with this investigation, to identify elements of the education practices used with blind in Aracaju during 1950-1970. / Ao fazermos uma análise das circunstâncias que cercam a educação da pessoa com deficiência, identificam-se mecanismos de segregação e exclusão fomentados por políticas assistencialistas e filantrópicas. Diante disso, o presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender como se deu o processo educacional do cego em Aracaju. Como base teóricometodológica, a pesquisa se fundamenta nos pressupostos da História Cultural, uma vez que essa perspectiva apresenta uma preocupação com as massas anônimas, seus modos de viver, sentir e pensar. As fontes utilizadas foram: documentos oficiais, Atas, revistas, jornais legislação e depoimentos, dentre outros. Os diferentes registros citados foram coletados em arquivos localizados em Aracaju e no Rio de Janeiro. Pesquisamos no Arquivo da Arquidiocese Metropolitana de Aracaju, no Instituto Histórico e Geográfico de Sergipe, na Biblioteca Epifânio Dória, em Aracaju; e no Arquivo Instituto Benjamin Constant, no Rio de Janeiro. Os depoimentos foram coletados através de entrevistas semiestruturadas com as professoras pioneiras que atuaram na educação de cego em Aracaju. O marco temporal compreende as décadas de 1950, 1960 e 1970 do século XX, uma vez que este período foi marcado pelo surgimento das instituições que prestaram atendimento educacional à pessoa com deficiência visual. As primeiras escolas para os cegos foram a Escola de Reabilitação dos Cegos de Aracaju, fundada pelo Bispo Dom Fernando Gomes e a Escola de Cegos Lyon s Club que funcionou no Centro de Reabilitação Ninota Garcia. As principais categorias de análise utilizadas foram: cultura escolar, cultura material escolar, representação e apropriação. Espera-se, com esta investigação, elucidar elementos das práticas educativas utilizadas com os cegos em Aracaju, no período de 1950-1970.

The impact of different reading/writing media on the education and employment of blind persons

Moodley, Sivalingum 30 June 2004 (has links)
Particularly in recent years, prompted by the need to gain greater independent access to a wider range of information, many persons who are blind make extensive use of screen access technology, optical character recognition devices, refreshable Braille displays and electronic notetakers in a variety of contexts. These reading and writing media have proved to be so useful and effective, raising debates in the literature on whether there is a decline in the use of Braille, or whether Braille as a reading and writing medium would become obsolete. Following a discussion on the development of tactual reading and writing media as part of an historical background to blindness, as well as an evaluation of the various reading and writing media used in South Africa by persons who are blind, this study, using a quantitative approach with a survey design, aimed to determine the impact of the various reading and writing media on the education and employment of persons who are blind. Based on the findings of the study, what emerges forcefully with regard to the preference of a medium for reading or writing is that a greater number of persons who are blind prefer Braille and computers with speech output. Notwithstanding this, there is support for the need to provide instruction in the use of the various reading and writing media, highlighting the critical value and role of the various media. Additionally, while persons who are blind appear to be convinced that computers will not replace Braille, they were, however, divided on whether there is a decline in the use of Braille, and whether computers would replace audiotapes. Finally, conclusions, based mainly on the findings of the study are drawn, and recommendations, both for future research, and for an integrated reading and writing model, are made. / Educational Studies / D.Ed.(Special Needs Educstion)

Information and communication technology as a learning tool : experiences of students with blindness

Ngubane-Mokiwa, Sindile Amina 06 1900 (has links)
The goal of this research was to explore how students with blindness (SwBs) use information and communication technology (ICT) for learning at the University of South Africa (UNISA). To do this the critical paradigm was used as a way of viewing the educational world. Underpinned by Transactional Distance Theory, Cultural Historical Activity Theory, Universal Design for Learning and Critical Theory, the study was qualitative and used narrative inquiry. The selection of the participants was made through purposive and snowball sampling and data collected through life stories, in-depth and telephonic interviews. The findings culminated in two major findings: 1) the use of ICT for learning; and 2) inclusive digital approaches. The first has emerging themes, for instance, (a) challenges with mathematical, scientific and accounting signs; (b) inability to access graphic learning material; (c) incompatibility of software; (d) lack of timely access to electronic learning materials; (e) high cost of ICT tools; (f) personal computers and laptops; (g) myUnisa and myLife; (h) voice recorders, Brailler, screen readers and videoconferencing; (i) electronic mail (e-mail); and (j) mobile telephones. The themes for the second major finding include: (a) authentic use of student-centred approaches; (b) inconsistency between policy and practice; (c) testing and re-testing of assessment tools; and (d) regular seeking of students‘ views and experiences. The proposed ‗Inclusive Critical use of Technology‘ (ICuT) framework was developed to and can be used as an effective guide if it is foregrounded by applicable distance learning theories and appropriate technologies. The study recommends the use of inclusive and critical approaches when integrating ICT into teaching and learning. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D. Ed. (Curriculum Studies)

A tabela periódica como tecnologia assistiva na educação em química para discentes cegos e com baixa visão / The periodic table as assistive technology in chemistry education for blind and low vision students

Silva, Rodrigo Pedroso da 26 September 2017 (has links)
Acompanha produto: A tabela periódica... / As Ciências Naturais constituem um ramo da Educação Básica e cujo valor está na transformação do olhar e postura dos educandos frente aos fenômenos que ocorrem em seu cotidiano. Apesar de sua importância ao interpretar o mundo e suas transformações, os estudantes em geral têm apresentado um alto nível de desinteresse e descaso com relação a esta área do conhecimento. Alerta maior se faz quando se está diante do fenômeno da inclusão escolar que traz para a sala de aula diferentes perfis do alunado, como é o caso daqueles que têm insuficiência visual plena ou parcial. Segundo o Ministério da Educação, existem cerca de 930.683 brasileiros com algum tipo de deficiência, dos quais 75.433 são especificamente cegos ou com baixa visão. No ensino de ciência, a tabela periódica e a compreensão das propriedades periódicas dos elementos apresenta-se como um recurso fundamental para o aprendizado na disciplina de Química, o que faz surgir o questionamento sobre quais adaptações este recurso deve conter no atendimento de discentes cegos. Com o objetivo de propor um recurso assistivo que promova este acesso às informações da tabela periódica, cumprindo requisitos de Desenho Universal, foi realizado um estudo bibliográfico que mapeou as propostas apresentadas na última década (2006-2017), segundo a taxonomia de Bardin, nos principais eventos de Química e Educação categorizando-as segundo suas propostas e objetivos, evidenciando-se um importante campo de pesquisa para inúmeros pesquisadores licenciados. Este trabalho adotou então um dos recursos pedagógicos denominado Tabela FD14 (tabela periódica adaptada para cegos), apresentada no Congresso Nacional de Educação-EDUCERE/2015, que foi revisada e aperfeiçoada para melhor satisfazer as necessidades da educação inclusiva, enquadrando-a dentro de exigências legais quanto à qualidade do Braille e requisitos de Desenho Universal. O novo recurso foi aplicado em dinâmica de sala de aula durante o processo de ensino/aprendizagem, obtendo benefícios no suporte instrumental docente, na ação didática do professor de Ciências e no processo de aprendizagem de estudantes cegos e com baixa visão, removendo as barreiras de acesso ao currículo comum, fomentando ainda mais a possibilidade de uma educação realmente inclusiva. / The Natural Sciences constitute a branch of Basic Education and whose value lies in the transformation of the students' gaze and posture towards the phenomena that occur in their daily life. Despite their importance in interpreting the world and its transformations, students in general have shown a high level of disinterest and disregard for this area of knowledge. Greater alert is made when faced with the phenomenon of school inclusion that brings to the classroom different profiles of the student, as is the case of those who have visual impairment full or partial. According to the Ministry of Education, there are about 930,683 Brazilians with some type of disability, of whom 75,433 are specifically blind or with low vision. In science teaching, the periodic table and the comprehension of the periodic properties of the elements presents itself as a fundamental resource for learning in the discipline of Chemistry, which raises the question about what adaptations this resource should contain in the care of blind students. With the objective of proposing an assistive resource that promotes this access to the information of the periodic table, fulfilling Universal Design requirements, a bibliographic study was carried out that mapped the proposals presented in the last decade (2006-2017), according to Bardin taxonomy, in main events of Chemistry and Education categorizing them according to their proposals and objectives, evidencing an important field of research for numerous licensed researchers. This work then adopted one of the pedagogical resources called Table FD14 (periodic table adapted for the blind), presented at the National Congress of EducationEDUCERE/2015, which was revised and improved to better meet the needs of inclusive education, framing it within requirements legal requirements regarding Braille quality and Universal Design requirements. The new resource was applied in classroom dynamics during the teaching / learning process, obtaining benefits in the instrumental teaching support, in the didactic action of the science teacher and in the learning process of blind and low vision students, removing the barriers of access to the common curriculum, further fostering the possibility of truly inclusive education.
