Impressão 3D: recurso para concepção de material didático para educandos com necessidades educativas especiais na visão

Abstract

The issues related to inclusion in Brazil have generated significant discussions among the whole school community, as the difficulties that students with special educational needs encounter in school is recurrent in their daily lives. This research aims to design teaching material for students with special educational needs in vision through the 3D printer. This study is justified by the scarcity of specific didactic materials in science teaching for the universe of people with vision impairment. The research is applied nature, with a qualitative approach, with exploratory and descriptive objectives and with technical survey procedures. The technical procedures initially adopted followed by a bibliographic research aiming to contextualize the contents to be explored in the project, starting with the theme Three-dimensional printing for the conception of didactic material for science teaching. A 3D printer will be used to design material with ergonomic characteristics that enables the teaching-learning process for the public with vision impairment. For product development we will follow the following steps: Initial idea, specifications, formulation and evaluation of alternatives, Mockup build and test, Prototype build and test. Considering the scarce didactic materials available in the area, the conception of materials designed in high relief and available in the classroom enables the motivation for the study of science making the learning process pleasant, challenging and enjoyable and inclusive.
