RESUMO

An analytical study was carried out so as to verify the knowledge, opinion and practices of teachers on the use of computer resources in the education of visually impaired students and to verify characteristics of teachers in relation to the formation and the profissional exercise. The sample comprised 56 teachers in the basic and middle teaching, who taught visually impaired students and 76 teachers, who did not teach visually impaired pupils, although these students were mainstreamed in their schools. A self-appliable questionnaire was utilized as the data collection instrument. Most teachers (96.9%) received no specific training to work with visually impaired students. As for the knowledge on programa used by visually impaired students, it was found that 100.0% of the teachers do not know the technologies used by these students. 84.2% of the teachers thought the computer science in the education of visually impaired is very important. Most teachers (94.8%) reported no use of the laboratory with visually impaired pupils, 76.7% of the respondents know nothing about optical resources, 87.9% reported no knowledge on non optical resources and 97.8% do not know how to write or read in the Braille system. It was concluded that the teachers were unaware of computer sciences resources for visually impaired students, although they believe these resources are very instrumental in their education. Insufficient knowledge on optical, non optical resources and the Braille system was verified as well
