Geography and Inclusive Education: Demands and Challenges in the Production of Teaching Materials for the Teaching of Visually Impaired People
Abstract: This article tries to treat alittle, in the form of a small essay, about what is perhaps one of the greatest concerns and challenges in the current context of geography teaching, where the exercise of teaching, increasingly complex, requires the constant search for paths that consider differences in its various nuances, providing the knowledge to which everyone is entitled. The concept of inclusion, it is believed, permeates meanings such as recognizing, understanding, encompassing, being part of and making it belong, which requires changes in relation to teaching and the conception and production of didactic resources. Geography, a science that can be understood first of all as a special way of thinking, enables, through various resources, to understand the spatial reality produced in society, it is thus essential in inclusive education. The objective of the research involves briefly analyzing the possible demands and challenges in teaching blind or low vision students, from the specialized teaching materials used in the teaching of geography at the Benjamin Constant Institute (IBC), Brazil, for the construction of a teaching and learning process that is inclusive and at the same time awakens attention to the importance of geographical science. The study is characterized by being qualitative, with theoretical support in authors of the literature on the theme of teaching and inclusion, supported by an analysis of the general conditions of design and production of teaching materials for the teaching of geography at IBC.
