Esta tese se propõe a discutir a problemática dos deficientes visuais, que tenham ingressado ou que sejam egressos do ensino superior paulista, do ponto de vista informacional, de forma a identificar como esses estudantes percebem a necessidade, adquirem, compreendem e utilizam a informação. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica discutindo os aspectos históricos e conceituais da Information Literacy, bem como suas ações voltadas para estudantes do ensino superior. Contextualizou-se o ambiente informacional do deficiente visual brasileiro, focalizando o ensino superior, bem como, ponderou-se sobre que cenário se apresenta a esses cidadãos do ponto de vista intelectual, tecnológico, de acesso aos recursos físicos, e de conteúdo. Nesse contexto, buscou-se mapear o conjunto de habilidades e competências informacionais a serem desenvolvidas pelos deficientes visuais, no processo de construção de trabalhos acadêmicos, compreendidas a partir do modelo Information Literacy desenvolvido por Carol Kuhlthau denominado Information Search Process ISP, no desenvolvimento dos instrumentos de coleta, no processo de coleta propriamente dito e na análise dos dados coletados. Por trata-se de um estudo exploratório, trabalhou-se numa abordagem qualitativa, elegendo o estudo de usuário para mapear as questões propostas. Realizou-se a entrevista semi-estruturada com 10 deficientes visuais pertencentes às modalidades do ensino superior de graduação e pós-graduação. Elaborou-se os resultados a partir do diagnóstico realizado na pesquisa e o estudo realizado por Christina Doyle no qual apresenta um levantamento dos predicados para uma pessoa ser considerada competente em informação. Como resultado final, apresenta-se um elenco de possíveis ações para que os atores do processo educacional do deficiente visual, sobretudo na educação superior, possam definir ações necessárias ao desenvolvimento ou promoção de programas de Information Literacy específicos para deficientes visuais, com o intuito de torná-los competentes em informação. Identificou-se que essas ações estão contidas em três dimensões relacionadas às barreiras de acessibilidade: informacional, digital e no âmbito dos relacionamentos. / This thesis discuss the issue of visually handicapped, who have ingressed or egressed on higher education of São Paulo as information is regarded; identifying how these students realize the information need and how to acquire, understand and use it. Therefore, a bibliographic review has been developed to discuss the historical and conceptual aspects of Information Literacy, as well as its actions aiming students of higher education. The Brazilians visually handicappeds environment was regarded, focusing on higher education and considering the intellectual, technological, access to physical resources and content scenery in which they live in. In this context, a map of abilities and information literacy skills to be developed by visually handicapped was created, starting from Carol Kuhlthaus Information Literacy model named Information Search Process ISP, which shows the development of gathering instruments, the gathering itself and the analysis of the gathered data. Because it is an exploratory study, a qualitative approach was considered, using the user study to create a map of the questions proposed. A semi-structured interview was made with 10 visually handicapped on graduation or postgraduate education. Produced the results from the diagnosis made in the research and study by Christina Doyle which presents a survey of the predicates for a person to be considered \"information literate.\" As a final result, it presents a list of possible actions for the actors of the educational process of the visually handicapped, especially in higher education, can define actions necessary for the development or promotion of Information Literacy programs specific to the visually handicapped, in order to make them competent in information. It was identified that these actions are contained in three dimensions related to the barriers of accessibility: informational, digital and within relationships.

This work aims to analyze the methodologies and resources used by professors of exact sciences in their classes attended by visually impaired students at the Federal University of Sergipe. We opted to carry out qualitative research with a case study approach. The results indicate that it is not enough to implement an affirmative action policy with reserved seats at the university for disabled students. A large number of transformations should also take place in different aspects of the university, such as its physical structure, the faculty´s teaching practices, the curriculum, and also professors´ ongoing development in his/her work as a teacher of exact sciences. We come to the conclusion that the professors surveyed do not regard blind students as their students, but rather as a student of the university, which should be responsible for the learning process experienced by these students. / O objetivo deste trabalho consistiu em analisar as metodologias e recursos utilizados pelos professores das disciplinas de exatas para alunos com deficiência visual na Universidade Federal de Sergipe. Optamos por uma pesquisa qualitativa com abordagem de estudo de caso. Os resultados apontam que não basta uma política de ação afirmativa que viabiliza cotas para alunos com deficiência ainda é preciso muitas transformações tanto nas questões de acessibilidade arquitetônica, quanto nas questões pedagógicas na sala de aula, em relação ao currículo e também em relação ao professor em seu processo de formação continuada para um melhor desenvolvimento de suas práticas pedagógicas, nas disciplinas de exatas. Conclui-se que os professores pesquisados não consideram o aluno cego como seu aluno, mas como aluno da Universidade e esta deve ser responsável pela aprendizagem do deficiente visual.

It focuses on Associação dos Deficientes Visuais do Estado de Goiás (ADVEG) (Association for the Visually Handicapped of Goiás State) in order to analyze the meaning attributed to the concept of citizenship. The study is based on the assumption that actions performed by the visually handicapped contribute to the formation of a political culture that is capable of promoting changes in their lives. This is especially true with regards to the emergence of citizen rights, a new concept of justice, and democratic practices. Theoretical references were extracted from the works of Almeida (1992; 2003), Cruz (2004; 2005), Dagnino (1994; 2002; 2004; 2006), Arendt (1989; 2001; 2007a; 2007b; 2007c; 2007d), and Gohn (1999; 2002; 2003; 2007a; 2007b). By recovering historical aspects of social movements, this research investigated characteristics of the trajectory of organization of visually handicapped people. The aim was to understand the dynamics of this trajectory and, above all, to reveal how this social condition is constructed, as far as the role these people attribute to citizenship is concerned. This study case consists of a qualitative empirical research involving twenty members of ADVEG and it employed semi-structured interviews, observations, and documental analysis in the city of Goiânia. Results indicate that the inclusion of visually handicapped people in the job market remains limited, which reveals a sense of citizenship composed of rights under the perspective of legal achievements previously defined by legislation. This is seldom put into practice, but it is linked to a strategy conveyed by dominant classes and by the State; this strategy aims at a social inclusion policy as a juridical and political condition that is crucial for the implementation of the reigning economic model / O presente estudo, intitulado Cidadania das pessoas com deficiência visual do Estado de Goiás: trajetória, organização e discurso, é resultado da investigação empreendida nos estudos de Mestrado em Educação ligada à Linha de Pesquisa: Formação e profissionalização docente, da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade Federal de Goiás. Este estudo tem por objetivo discutir o significado do conceito de cidadania, sendo a associação dos deficientes visuais do Estado de Goiás o objeto de estudo. Parte-se do princípio de que as ações empreendidas pelas pessoas com deficiência visual contribuem para a elaboração de uma cultura política que opere mudanças na vida dessas pessoas, em especial para a emergência da realidade de direitos de cidadania, de um novo conceito de justiça e de práticas democráticas. Utilizou-se dos referenciais teóricos de Almeida (1992,2003), Cruz (2004, 2005), Dagnino (1994, 2002, 2004, 2006), Arendt (1989, 2001, 2007a, 2007b, 2007c, 2007d), Gonh (1999, 2002, 2003, 2007a, 2007b). A pesquisa implica a recuperação de aspectos históricos dos movimentos sociais; investiga características da trajetória de organização das pessoas com deficiência visual, a fim de compreender sua dinâmica, o papel por elas atribuído à cidadania, buscando entender, antes de tudo, como tal condição social é construída. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica, qualitativa e estudo de caso que envolveu vinte associados da Associação dos deficientes visuais do Estado de Goiás- ADVEG por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, observações e análise documental no Município de Goiânia. Os resultados encontrados apontam para o fato de que a inserção social das pessoas com deficiência visual no mercado de trabalho continua limitada, revelando um sentido de cidadania composta de elementos como direitos, na perspectiva de conquistas legais, previamente definidos no formato da legislação. Muitas vezes isso não se efetiva na prática, mas vincula-se a uma estratégia das classes dominantes e do Estado, com vistas à política de inserção social como condição jurídica e política, indispensável à instalação do modelo econômico em curso.

Such discussion has also being inserted in the speeches and actions of the school institution and with the formation of educators. This investigation is made necessary as a way to collect elements to reconsider the actions for the inclusion of the special education need youth. In special the visually handicapped ones, at Instituto Federal de Educa??o, Ci?ncia e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN). The creation of a support unit functions as main vehicle for the actions of the institution. It is intended to know what young people with limitations have to say regarding their experiences as a way to signal paths to be and not to be followed by the support unit. Therefore, the experience which these young boys and girls have is of crucial importance. In order to accomplish the task, it was decided to use methodological elements based upon elements supported by the life reports of two deficient students here called Borges and St?fano. Their reports are from childhood to their arrival at IFRN. From their reports, categories appeared: childhood and the role of family; school life and, finally, related to the actions of the support unit of IFRN, being divided in inclusive actions and obstacles. The first one takes a second look at the actions of the family within the learning-teaching process of these students. The second category presents the moment in which students started to receive formal education per se. The last category constitutes the cornerstone of the investigation, for it analyses the process of inclusion in the institution, according to the perception of the students with visual limitations. The results signaled the need for shared intervention between students with Special Education Needs and school professionals in the elaboration of the Educational Planning, which guarantees the defense of the rights to an efficient teaching practice and effective in the process of inclusion of these students / As discuss?es sobre inclus?o de pessoas com necessidades especiais na escola s?o relativamente recentes, mas toma corpo no ?mbito internacional e nacional. Por outro lado, tal discuss?o aos poucos vem se incorporando nos discursos e a??es na institui??o escolar e, mais ainda na forma??o dos docentes. Esta investiga??o parte da necessidade de levantar elementos para (re)pensar as a??es propostas para inclus?o de jovens com necessidade educativa especial, neste particular com defici?ncia visual (DV), no Instituto Federal de Educa??o, Ci?ncia e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN). Como apoio principal para as a??es da institui??o encontra-se a cria??o do n?cleo de apoio. Intenciona-se conhecer a voz de jovens com DV para que as suas experi?ncias possam sinalizar os caminhos e descaminhos tomados pelo n?cleo de apoio. Assim, neste relato a experi?ncia vivenciada por estes jovens ? de fundamental import?ncia. Para tanto, optou-se por utilizar elementos metodol?gicos apoiados na hist?ria de vida de dois alunos com DV, aqui chamados de aluno (A1) e aluno (A2), desde a inf?ncia at? a entrada no IFRN. Deste relato emergiram como categorias: a inf?ncia e o papel da fam?lia; a trajet?ria escolar e, por fim, relativas ?s a??es do n?cleo de apoio do IFRN, dividindo-se em atitudes inclusivas e obst?culos. A primeira resgata as a??es da fam?lia no processo de ensino e aprendizagem destes alunos. A segunda categoria apresenta o momento em que os alunos come?aram a receberem a educa??o formal, propriamente dita. A ?ltima categoria constitui o ponto fundamental da investiga??o, pois analisa o processo de inclus?o na institui??o, na percep??o dos pr?prios estudantes com defici?ncia visual. Os resultados sinalizam para a necessidade de a??es partilhadas entre alunos com NEE e profissionais da escola na elabora??o do Plano Educacional, que garantam a defesa dos direitos a uma pr?tica pedag?gica eficiente e eficaz no processo de inclus?o desses alunos

The main objectives of the theses is to analyse architectonical and other barriers in Tabor, its potentiality to receive visually handicapped visitors and to design a concrete solution. There were examined technical and architectonical facilities in the locality and economic presumptions of the project. The installation of outdoor tactile miniatures as the solution of our design was examined from the point of view of supply and also of potential demand. The calculation of presumable costs and earnings was made. The research made via questionaires among blind people makes also a part of the project.

In my thesis I dealt with the issue of health education and integration of visually disable pupils attending the first degree (1st - 5th grade) of primary schools through physical activities + development of spatial orientation. The theoretical part determines basic terms and definitions which are related to this issue. Practical part is focused on the project called "Week of Health" which positively influenced all the pupils. The learners were acquainted with yoga and with innovative kinestetic activities in which it was necessary to use mainly the auditory and haptic perception. During the whole week the education was focused on healthy nourishment and proper lifestyle of young learners.
