PIRES DE CAMARGO, Eder  and  NARDI, Roberto. The planning of Mechanics and Modern Physics teaching activities for blind students: difficulties and alternatives. Rev. electrón. investig. educ. cienc. [online]. 2006, vol.1, n.2, pp.39-64. ISSN 1850-6666.

We report here partial outcomes of a study aimed to verify future High School teachers performance when, during the development of a called "Teaching Practice" undergraduate course, were asked to plan Mechanics and Modern Physics topics to a students class which included visual handicapped pupils. Data analyzed show that the main difficulties presented by the future Physics High School teachers are related to the approach to know physics phenomena as dependent of vision. By other hand, as alternatives, future teachers showed creativity in order to surpass passive aptitudes related to this educational problem and working out methodological strategies deprived of the relation knowing/seeing.
