KitFis usability as a resource to promote physics education for blind students

Abstract

This work presents the development process a teaching kit that aims to make accessible to blind students the
physical illustrations. The kit called KitFis proposes reproduce tactually two-dimensional graphics phenomena
and physical situations, similar to those found in physics textbooks or built under the teacher. In this article, the focus is on describing the problems which gave rise to the idea of developing the kit, as well as the development process. We also present some of the illustrations possibilities of representation in the kit. Some present illustrations in textbooks of physics and their possibilities of tactile reproductions in the kit will be presented. It is understood that in this way the KitFis can contribute to the process of school inclusion of blind students in mainstream education by promoting access to high school physics curriculum for these students.
