THE USE OF ASSISTANT TECHNOLOGIES (TA) WITH LOW COST MATERIALS IN GEOGRAPHY TEACHING FOR THE LEARNING STUDENT TEACHING PROCESS

Abstract

This research seeks to analyze the use of Assistive Technologies in education, through low- cost materials as a contributor to the teaching-learning process in the content of Geography for students with Deafness. Understanding the particularities of each individual, the use of AT can contribute to the assimilation of concepts associated with discipline and motivate the use of playfulness with the help of the existing attributions of deaf culture, in order to build significance from their adaptations promoting interaction and the production of knowledge with educational actions that differ from traditional proposals already known. The methodological approach of the research is of a qualitative nature with the description of the participants' experience reports from a series of problems created to develop assistive didactics, instigating the formation of inclusive ideas and concepts through what was proposed by the workshop. It can be demonstrated that each problem situation developed was well accepted and largely understood successfully. Thus, it is worth mentioning that regarding the use of AT taking into account the educator's stance, even though it did not have advanced technological resources in the past, it can contribute to the training of its apprentices with easily accessible materials, building activities of an assistive character, being extremely important for enable better learning for the deaf person, including them and motivating them to be active in their educational process.
