Ensino e práticas pedagógicas em Geografia para pessoas com deficiência visual na EAUFPA

Abstract

This research, through the case study method, sought to analyze how the inclusive pedagogical practices adopted by Geography teachers at the UFPA School of Application materialize, focusing on the education of students with visual impairment (DV). Adopting historical-dialectical materialism as a methodological framework, the study analyzes the contradictions present in the process of school inclusion. Of a qualitative nature, the research used as sources the bibliographic review, documentary analysis and interviews with professors and coordinators of the institution. The results indicate advances in the school, through student services and the construction of dialogues between teachers and coordinators, driven by the Coordination of Inclusive Education and the Curriculum Accessibility Laboratory (LACEB). However, challenges persist, such as architectural barriers, difficulties in teacher training and the lack of alignment between educational policies and school pedagogical practices. The dialectical analysis reveals that inclusion is crossed by structural and social tensions, evidencing the need for greater articulation between theory and practice, both in the teaching of Geography and in the reality of the school in general. Thus, the research contributes to the debate on the effectiveness of inclusion policies and highlights the importance of teacher training to ensure accessible geographic education and the right to education for all students.
