Implementation of an inclusive teaching methodology for animal anatomy study

Abstract

Visual impairment creates a challenge in the teaching-learning process where alternative teaching methods become indispensable to provide perception and knowledge to people with visual impairment (PcDV), in addition to developing the acuity of their senses and motor skills. This work aims to implement alternative methods for teaching animal anatomy, and that these can be used as an inclusive didactic tool. Based on the collection of the Animal Anatomy Section, a didactic collection was created consisting of biological models, three-dimensional and in relief, and by alternative anatomical preparations, a “palpable” proposal, capable of linking science teaching, especially animal morphology, the processes of assimilation and transformation of the individual, the rescue of citizenship and social insertion. In highlighting the importance of this methodology, it is concluded that all adaptation requires empathy with others, role of mediators being fundamental.
