O domínio das orações adjectivas em português europeu: desenvolvimento da linguagem (típico e atípico) e efeitos da escolarização

Esta dissertação investiga os efeitos do desenvolvimento da linguagem ‒ típico (DTL) e atípico (ADL) ‒ e da escolarização na forma como as crianças compreendem e produzem as orações adjectivas restritivas de SU e de OD (ao centro e à direita), de Ind e de Loc (Ind e Loc apenas testadas na tarefa de repetição). A amostra foi constituída por 3 grupos de crianças – dos quais16 têm DTL do Pré-escolar; 13 são do 2.º ano básico com DTL e 7 têm ADL ‒ e por 1 grupo de adultos (o grupo de controlo) com 10 indivíduos. Através da aplicação das tarefas de representação e de repetição de Vasconcelos (1991) e da narrativa ‘A história do gato’, de Hickmann (1982), os resultados mostram a maior acessibilidade das adjectivas SU e OD à direita; elucidam-nos também sobre a importância que o processo de desenvolvimento linguístico e a escolarização têm para a temática. /ABSTRACT: This dissertation research the effects of typical (DTL) and atypical language development (LI), and the formal education system itself on the manner in which children understand and produce restrictive relative clauses of subject (SU) and direct object (DO) (center and right embedded), indirect object (Ind) and locative (Loc); Ind and Loc atested merely on construction tasks.

The results of representation and repetition exercises by Vasconcelos (1991) and the narrative of Hickmann’s ‘Cat story’ (1982) revealed that the majority of the participating children master more easily SU and OD clauses relative clauses with right association; and also important role of the language development process and of School for the matter.

EXPRESSIVE ARTS – EMBODYING INCLUSIVE TEACHERS

The Declaration of Salamanca proposes a deep reformulation of educational praxis which has as a main goal to create an environment where all students can enjoy learning, improve and grow in confidence, in a perspective of Inclusive Education. In this sense, it is necessary that teachers acquire scientific and educational skills but, also, development of personal and interpersonal competences that are crucial for a flexible and adequate professional praxis. The concept of competences integrates knowledge, skills, personal values and attitudes that are acquired through work experience and learning by doing. On other side, experiential work is lived through a body in movement. Acknowledging these ideas and considering active methods and expressive arts as valorous contributions to the positive model of inclusive education in this paper, the authors propose the training in Expressive Arts to promote Inclusion but mainly to develop personal and interpersonal competences of teachers to the Inclusion
