- Abstract
Didactic transposition is the phenomenon that describes the trajectory followed by knowledge from its scientific creation, until it becomes an object of teaching in schools. This work is an excerpt from the first author’s master’s research. The main objective of this article was to analyze the mathematical objects taught to a blind student enrolled in a regular classroom. Thus, we sought evidence of internal didactic transposition (IDT) while teaching the concepts of statistical variables and frequency distribution in a 9th-grade classroom, with the inclusion of a blind student. This research included the class teacher –with a degree in mathematics–, the sighted students, and a blind student. We found that gaps in the mathematical knowledge taught to the blind student cause difficulties in his learning compared to the mathematical objects taught to sighted students. Mathematics teacher education must discuss pedagogical procedures that facilitate the teaching-learning process with blind students.
