Discapacidad visual. Una experiencia en el profesorado estatal del Departamento de Santander, Colombia

This research article emerges as part of the process of the Master in Educational Psychology whose purpose was to understand the meaning of the teaching experience of the state teachers with visual impairment of the Department of Santander, Colombia. This was done through a qualitative methodology, based on a phenomenological paradigm and a case study. As a result, it was obtained that life stories are complex and loaded with suffering at the personal, family, and social level. They are also marked by poverty and violence, so that their visual impairment went through critical processes. However, the skills acquired during personal and professional training were a great achievement for the people who were part of the study. It was concluded that the meaning of the experience in the state teachers of the Department of Santander was very important. This helped recognize themselves as professionals capable of building society. Likewise, their experience as teachers allowed them to understand that seeing goes beyond the sense of vision, it is to feel in their students the individual "being" that feels, thinks and expresses his needs. The most important thing is the attitude, which makes this experience transcendental.
