Game on calorimetry with audio description and Braille for inclusion: experience report

Abstract

The paper presents a didactic game with audio description and Braille, on calorimetry, which includes the physical states of water, sensitive heat and latent heat; for the inclusion of the visually impaired in the context of physics education. The experi-ence reports on the application of the game with a group of students from third- and second-year high school in a public school in Rio Branco-AC. The case study presents three stages of intervention with a Low Vision student: a first interview in order to know a little about the student's disability history; an explanation at the school science fair by the low vision student to acquire mastery over the game, followed by a second interview to identify the student's impressions when participating in the fair; and the application of the game with the group of four students of the school, in which three with normal vision and one with visual impairment. At the end of the game, a round of conversation between the participants demonstrated that the game promoted social interaction and a learning situation that contemplated all the students involved.
