Estratégias pedagógicas e recursos educacionais para o ensino de computação para alunos com deficiência visual: uma revisão sistemática de literatura

Abstract

This paper discusses the main pedagogical strategies and educational resources used to teach computer science to visually impaired students, through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The aim is to identify the difficulties faced by these students and provide suggestions that can help teachers develop more inclusive educational resources. The SRL was developed using the approach proposed by Kitchenham and Charters (2007), involving the research bases Sociedade Brasileira de Computação (SOL), Revista Novas Tecnologias (RENOTE) and the CAPES Periodicals portal on the impacts of visual impairment on Computing teaching, considering that the focus was to identify how this topic has been worked on in the national scenario. Some of the results include assistive technologies such as Braille, screen-reading software and high relief printers, which were highlighted as essential tools, but which still have significant limitations. With regard to the main difficulties faced by students, the main mentions were in relation to subjects involving Calculus I or Software Engineering, which are strongly influenced by visual resources. With regard to the educational and technological resources being developed or used, screen readers were identified as essential, as well as tangible user interfaces and accessible programming languages. The research seeks to list recommendations drawn from the articles.
