Movimento aparente do sol na perspectiva do desenho universal para a aprendizagem: construção de um produto educacional para a inclusão escolar

Abstract

The teaching of Astronomy is always a subject of many curiosities among children, especially regarding the use of concrete materials for astronomical explanations. However, as this area of knowledge generally uses visual resources and its teaching is still little explored in formal education, children with disabilities, global developmental disorders and high skills/over-endowment, stay out of learning the knowledge about our Universe. Therefore, this work aims to elaborate an educational product with the principles of Universal Design for Learning (DUA) in relation to the apparent movement of the Sun, for use in the early years of Elementary School. The methodology adopted is qualitative, using the seven principles of the DUA for the creation of the material has focused on minimizing the exclusion of students with specific educational needs in subjects involving astronomy, creating various possibilities of activities for the same subject, taking with it the flexibility in teaching. As a proposal for a teaching strategy, it was possible to work with the 3 pedagogical moments. It is expected that this proposal will serve as a basis for more educational products aimed at the participation of all students and not just a student with specific characteristics such as visually impaired, deaf, among others.
