Riflessioni sull’insegnamento della fisica ad allievi non udenti nella scuola superiore

Peculiarities and problems of deaf high school students are outlined, related to the obstacles they meet in learning Physics, namely the difficulty in abstracting, generalizing, and using rules with flexibility. In particular, the typical misunderstandings due to deaf natural language are pointed out, providing some concrete examples of incorrect comprehension of physical phenomena that are generally considered trivial. Finally, a possible modus operandi of a Physics lesson is described.
