Digital technology as pedagogical support in teaching biology to deaf students

Abstract

This article aims to present teaching material that can help biology teachers to develop more participatory classes for deaf students, in order to provide attractive and meaningful. To this end, an exploratory research was carried out with Biology teachers and then a documentary research was carried out, in which we sought to select YouTube channels, games and applications on the Google platform that could contribute to teaching practices. The selected materials were gathered into an e-book, along with a Didactic Sequence (SD) proposal, and were subsequently evaluated by biology teachers. The study enabled the perception that teachers lack materials that can help deaf students learn, as well as the importance of visual digital technologies for this process, with the e-book created being considered potentially capable of contributing to inclusive pedagogical practices.
