SUMMARY:

In the context of inclusive education, didactic resources aimed at students with visual impairments are still scarce in educational settings, which limits their learning—especially in science education. The decline in insect populations is characterized as a Socioscientific Issue because it involves environmental, political, moral, ethical, social, and economic dimensions. Nevertheless, it is a crucial topic to address, as it fosters reflections on sustainability and nature conservation. The use of tactile and auditory materials in exploring a Socioscientific Issue can promote the active participation of visually impaired students, mitigating learning barriers.

Therefore, the main objective of this research is to foster the inclusion of students with visual impairments in learning about a Socioscientific Issue concerning the decline in insect populations, through the use of tactile and auditory didactic materials in a non-formal educational setting. The research is qualitative in nature, and the typology is defined as a case study. Inclusive didactic materials will be developed to promote tactile and auditory meaning-making for students with visual impairments, and will be used in a teaching sequence based on a socioscientific approach, following the Three Pedagogical Moments. This research is characterized as descriptive, with a qualitative approach, and its methodological procedures are grounded in action research. Data collection will involve participant observation, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. For data analysis, we propose using Bardin’s content analysis. The didactic resources will be implemented in the non-formal educational space of the Science Park at the Câmara Cascudo Museum (MCC/UFRN).
