ESCOLA DO CAMPO: HORTA SENSORIAL INCLUSIVA

HORTA SENSORIAL INCLUSIVA

Abstract

In this article, we intend to emphasize the importance of the use of the Inclusive School Garden, as a pedagogical intervention in the learning of students with multiple disabilities (DV, DA, DM), whose focus is the teaching of science from the perspective of Inclusive Education. Understanding of belonging to the world for disabled students is necessary because of the many challenges at school. Thus, tactile perception is essential, where the use of inclusive pedagogical materials offers the student the contact with the concrete. The research conducted had a qualitative approach as proposed by Lüdke and André (1986); Bogdan and Biklen, (1994). We had the participation of 15 students, two of them with multiple disabilities. Initially, we presented the Horta Escolar Project for the school community. The research consisted in the preparation of the Inclusive School Garden, with the use of recyclable material and the creation of inclusive pedagogical material: Cela Braile and Tactile Map.  In the Horta environment, DV students, from tactile perception, were able to recognize, touch, identify and compare types of vegetables and medicinal plants, as well as write their names in Braille.
