A interferência da modulação da voz do docente na aprendizagem de universitários cegos

The teacher uses speech as a way of transmitting knowledge to his students, especially blind students, helping them overcome their limitations. This work analyzed, from the point of view of visually impaired people, how the modulation of the teacher's voice interferes with learning, interest and motivation throughout the undergraduate course. A qualitative research was conducted, using semi-structured interviews, in 11 blind students of both sexes regularly enrolled in various areas of knowledge in higher education. The results showed that the blind perceive in the modulation of the teacher's voice, their empathy towards them, and when the teacher knows or not, how to proceed appropriately to students with visual impairment. Adapted teaching materials, adequate mobility and trained teachers are needed to improve teaching for the blind. It was noticed that the variation in tone, pitch and frequency of the teacher's voice can motivate or demotivate the blind student. It was concluded that the teacher's voice modulation serves as an intermediate between the blind and the consolidated knowledge, efficiently.
