TEACHING THE PHYSICS OF THE COLOR OF THE OBJECT TO STUDENTS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT THROUGH A PROTOTYPE IN ARDUINO

Abstract

With Law No. 13,146, OF JULY 6, 2015 establishing the Brazilian Law on the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities, it was common for students with various types of disabilities in the classroom and this has generated the need for proposals for inclusive projects in schools. In this way, a partnership was made between the Federal University of Pará, Salinópolis campus, through the Institutional Program of Extension Scholarships - PIBEX and the National Professional Master's Degree in Physics Teaching, Pole 37 to develop a prototype in arduíno with the objective of making available to High School Physics teachers a didactic sequence to teach fundamental concepts of color optics, so that it meets all students who have some kind of difficulty in learning, especially the student with visual impairment (VI). The prototype entitled Seer and Deficient Visual Color Sensor (SDV color sensor) proved to be efficient as a solution to meet such demands, since in addition to helping the student associate the concepts of reflection and absorption, it helped him to recognize the colors of the palettes through the sensors installed in the prototype in 4 environments that emitted a specific sound. In this work, we will show that the results obtained with the use of the prototype contributed positively to the learning of students without VI and, especially, an equal understanding on the part of the VI student in addition to facilitating teaching by the teacher, in which most often does not have adequate qualification in this area.
