Deficência visual na interface do curso de ciências biológicas: limites e possibilidades

Abstract

Having access to higher education translates as an important step within social rights, but staying and having guarantees of quality training is still a challenge. In this sense, we present the final considerations of the study that aimed to investigate the limits and possibilities faced by the visually impaired in the course of Biological Sciences of the Federal Institute of Piauí Teresina Central campus. For this, we started from the qualitative research, having as instruments of data collection closed questionnaires and semi-structured interview. For the inference of the data, we used the content analysis, having participated three students visually impaired, linked to the course of Biological Sciences of the Federal Institute of Piauí Teresina Central campus. It was considered that the initial formation in the course of Biological Sciences for students participating in this study symbolizes a unique personal achievement. However, the limits refer to the permanence with qualifiers that attend the formation of the future professionals. Specific disciplines require more personalized attention, especially when the content is necessarily visual observation. This will require from teacher-trainers a direction, a better qualification to work with the visually impaired student.
