- Abstract
The article presents part of a study that aimed to understand communication in inclusive classes based on the narratives of teachers who teach mathematics in classes with blind students. The research uses studies on inclusive education and critical mathematics education to produce data from narratives of the teachers who participated in the research through episodic interviews conducted remotely in 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic. To analyze them, analytical categories refer to the concepts of accessibility and dialogue anchored in the theoretical approaches of reference. The analyses highlight the teachers’ concern about including blind students in the narrated activities, even if, sometimes, inclusion was not made explicit in the narrated episodes. These results confirm the findings of other research that the presence of students with different disabilities causes doubts and uncertainties in teachers, both related to didactic choices and to the way of acting and teaching. We conjecture that overcoming these difficulties involves adequate physical infrastructure, availability of appropriate teaching resources, and access to initial and continuing training that discusses inclusive education.
