This article aims to explain the challenges and barriers imbricated in teaching practice regarding the inclusion of visually impaired university students in times of the Covid-19 pandemic. It follows the foundations of Socio-Historical Psychology and Dialectical Historical Materialism. Six university students with visual impairments from different undergraduate courses at a public university in the Northeast of the country, participated in the research. The data were produced through a semi-structured interview, which was carried out individually by Google Meet. For data analysis we used the meaning nuclei. The results showed that the lack of knowledge about the inclusion of people with visual impairment, combined with the lack of appropriation of digital tools and the multiple demands contributed to an excluding pedagogical practice that is guided by an ideological bias of the normative body. However, we consider that remote teaching enhanced the precariousness of teaching practice, and that it exacerbated the exclusion of students with visual impairments.

Keywords : college students; visual impairment; teaching practice; remote teaching.
