Contraceptive methods comportamentais: educational technology for faulty visual

Abstract

The visually deficient ones have hindered access to information about family planning. Therefore, it is justified the creation of pedagogical resources for health education on family planning, particularly about behavioral methods. Among them there are the methods of Ogino-Knaus, basal body temperature, and Billings. This paper describes the development of these resources that happened at two methodological moments: at first the methods were elaborated exploring touch and hearing; secondly they were tested on a course for visually deficients. The verbalization of the participant’s knowledge was considered before and after each class, evaluating the learning. It also allowed the authors to realize that what before was just part of a blind one imagination, then became real and better understood.
