O uso das tecnologias digitais de informação e da comunicação no ensino de parasitologia para alunos com deficiência visual: uma revisão sistemática e proposta metodológica

Abstract

Educational institutions have a significant demand from students with some type of disability, and the use of Assistive Technologies emerges significantly in the process of learning, communication and accessibility. In the area of Parasitology, the teaching of its contents permeates the use of visuality, whether in observing the life cycles of parasites, as well as in the morphology of organisms, excluding people with visual impairment from the teachinglearning process. This work is composed of two independent but complementary parts. In the first, a Systematic Review of the Literature is presented in order to identify previously published works that address the Teaching of Parasitology for visually impaired students, through Digital Information and Communication Technologies in the spheres of elementary, secondary and higher education. Consecutively, after obtaining the results, the suggestion of a methodological proposal for an Inclusive Laboratory of Parasitology, called LabPARAtodos, from the Federal University of Alagoas, which develops the audio description of parasitological slides for quality learning in the discipline of Parasitology, providing a welcoming environment. and realistic as possible. The research showed that materials related to the theme were not obtained, highlighting a gap in the description of methodological alternatives for teaching Parasitology content for blind students, through TIDCs. The laboratory emerged as a proposal for the audio description of images of standardized parasitic life forms, aiming at transforming the visual into imagery. Thus, the research hopes to make a significant contribution to pedagogical thinking, aiming at joining inclusion and the teaching of Parasitology, in understanding the specific and joint needs of students with visual impairments.
