Audiodescrição didática das imagens estáticas do material didático para professores da sala de recursos multifuncionais do estado de Mato Grosso

Abstract

Inclusive education is a constantly evolving field that seeks to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their abilities or specific needs. In the context of visually impaired students, audio description emerges as an essential assistive technology tool to ensure access to teaching materials and education in a society with predominantly visual practices. The audio description of still images, in particular, plays a fundamental role in making visual information accessible to blind students. Despite this, in the state of Mato Grosso, there is a lack of audio descriptions of still images in public school teaching materials and the absence of guides to help teachers offer them. The literature on the subject also points to this need for more. Therefore, this research investigated strategies for creating scripts to produce audio descriptions of still images for visually impaired students and identified parameters, based on a qualitative approach, to assist in producing audio-description scripts through a bibliographical survey. The case study involved two teachers from multifunctional resource rooms, two visually impaired students from two schools in the interior of Mato Grosso and a blind teacher who specializes in validating audio descriptions. The research also used instruments such as interviews, questionnaires, and activities to create audio descriptions and the interpretation of still images through audio descriptions. The results obtained through the triangulation of the data pointed to the possibilities of practices and strategies for the production of audio descriptions of still images in teaching material and the development of parameters for the creation of didactic audio descriptions, which are configured into a script - an educational resource - for this purpose. The intention is that these results will help to support the practice of didactic audio descriptions of images that effectively aid the inclusion of visually impaired students in their educational process, as well as teachers in activities relevant to this context.
