Influência do preconceito no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos alunos com deficiência visual da Escola Secundária Solidariedade-Maputo Cidade

Abstract

The present study influence of prejudice in the teaching and learning process of visually impaired students at Solidariedade Secondary School aimed to analyze the influence of prejudice in the teaching and learning process of visually impaired students at Solidariedade Secondary School. To carry out the research and achieve this objective, a qualitative approach was chosen, and Semi-Structured Interviews and Systematic Observation were used as data collection instruments. A total of seven (7) individuals participated: two (2) Teachers, two (2) Visually Impaired Students, and three (3) sighted Students. Based on the instruments used and the analysis and discussion of the data collected, it was concluded that prejudice is the key vector for the perpetuation of various other problems that occur and disrupt the teaching and learning process, i.e., discrimination, ableism, violence, and bullying. This phenomenon is also seen in relation to students with SEN (VI) at this school, although it has, timidly, compromised the EAP. It was also noted that the school lacks space to discuss these issues, making it increasingly clear that action is needed to improve the EAP and achieve an inclusive and non-prejudiced education for all.
