O uso de materiais manipuláveis para o ensino das leis de Kepler

Abstract

The present work makes a historical analysis of the educational inclusion of the visually impaired and deals with the laws of Kepler, for visually impaired students. For this, a brief history was made to understand the process experienced by disabled people in general and all the actions, laws and declarations that assured them the right rights with the State. It was also approached the use of manipulative teaching materials as a pedagogical resource in physics classes during the process of teaching and learning the essential contents for the understanding of the Kepler Laws that govern the universe, considering that such materials contemplate richness and diversity of tangible details , providing a clear and succinct approach to the teaching of physics to students with visual impairment. This study aims to reflect on teaching proposals related to specialized educational service, focused on the student with visual impairment, based on laws that assure them the right to education of all and thus contribute to the teaching of physics through manipulable materials, but specifically to contribute to the teaching of Kepler's laws. The research is defined as qualitative, from the construction and observation of the adapted material, in the use with the visually impaired to a visit to the CAP (Pedagogical Support Center) of Marabá, where the material produced was tested, considering the tactile perception of each student at the center, and their knowledge of the subject. It is concluded during the visit that the material contributed to the assimilation and fixation of the contents taught, but emphasizing that they can never replace the teacher in the classroom, always having the role of a source of support.
