BIG AREA: Linguística, Letras e Artes

SUMMARY:

This research is centered on the processes of inclusion of people with visual impairment in higher
education in the music sub-area. From this perspective, the general objective was to investigate the
process of inclusion of students with visual impairment in the Licentiate Degree in Music at the Escola
de Música da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (EMUFRN). In this sense, this work is
supported by authors who deal with inclusion in higher education (MELO 2013; TRAQUEIA, 2015;
MARÇAL, 2013), and also by authors who address the inclusion of people with visual impairment in
higher education in music (MELO, 2010; SILVA, 2013), also contemplating discussions that correlate
these areas with emergency remote teaching (MOREIRA et al., 2020; APPENZELLER et al., 2020;
MOCELIN and MACHADO, 2020; SCHNEIDER and SCHNEIDER 2020). The methodology used in
this work was based on a qualitative research approach, using the case study as a method. As
instruments of data construction, I used semi-structured interviews with two target audiences, students
with visual impairments from the Music Degree Course and professionals who coordinate the Setor de
Musicografia Braille e Apoio à Inclusão (SEMBRAIN), in order to understand how the inclusion
process of these students in higher education in music at EMUFRN. As partial results obtained, I
realize that, despite having few students with visual impairment in the course, their perceptions about
inclusion vary from very optimistic to very critical. Finally, I believe that this work can contribute to
the inclusion of people with visual impairments to happen in a significant way, based on the paradigms
raised by this study at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte – UFRN.
