STELLA, Larissa Ferreira  and  MASSABNI, Vânia Galindo. The teaching of Biological Sciences: teaching materials for students with special educational needs. Ciência educ. [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.2, pp.353-374.  Epub June 19, 2019. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320190020006.

The legislation and the educational goals value the inclusion of students with special educational needs, specifically students with disabilities, global developmental disorders and high skills. However, with regard to Biological Sciences, there is inadequate initial and continuing training of science teachers, and a lack of funding in schools or of suitable teaching resources, among other issues, which hinders the educational process. If differentiated teaching methods and resources are necessary for the inclusion of these students, they need to be investigated and proposed. Considering that, the present study aimed to analyze the diversity of didactic materials for Biological Sciences in journals and research platforms on the Internet. In order to identify the publications, 16 databases were consulted, and 18 items were found. There is a need for more studies related to the creation of didactic resources that can be used in the classroom by students with disabilities, global developmental disorders and high skills.

Keywords : Inclusive education; Teaching materials; Biology teaching; Student with special needs; Bibliographic search.
