Abstract

The teaching-learning process for visually impaired students in Brazilian schools has been improved over the years, the use of Assistive Technologies seeks to facilitate the acquisition of this knowledge by students, but the training of teachers, the lack of materials and resources still appear as factors that make this process difficult. This article is the result of a qualitative investigation carried out with a student and three professors, from higher education at IFPI – Central, located in the city of Teresina/Piauí, with the objective of analyzing the pedagogical practices of professors based on the use of Assistive Technologies for the visually impaired in their respective subject, in order to facilitate student learning. With the analysis of the results obtained, it was possible to observe that the training of teachers in the use of Assistive Technologies interferes with the acquisition of the learning process of visually impaired students, allowing us to conclude that investments in training and material suitable for these students are essential in the school environment.
