Estudo de vocábulos para avaliação de crianças com deficiência sem linguagem oral

Researchers in the field of Augmentative and Alternative Communication point out the lack of instruments for assessing children and young people with a complex communication needs. This study's focus is the selection of words for creating an instrument for the vocabulary range in non-speaking children aged two to eleven years and eleven months. Three studies were performed. The first study identified and described tools available for assessing receptive vocabulary and their respective word lists. The second identified and described research that presented word inventories or word lists. The third study identified the vocabulary reported by parents and teachers. The words that were identified in the three studies were analyzed according to: the number of times they occurred; the Picture Communication Symbols system classification; and a semantic and syntactic classification. Based on these studies the following criteria for vocabulary selection were established for word selection: the 45 words which appeared in all three studies, the words that occurred five times or more, considering the three studies, representing 167 (14.14%) words; the words identified in study one or two, but that had been reported by the families - 183 (19.37% out of 945 words) - or by teachers - 108 (11.43% out of 945 words). The word list was composed of 269 items, classified in 18 semantic and syntactic topics; it represents an initial tool for professionals in the field of health and education to set goals for beginning assessment of children and teenagers who are users of Augmentative and Alternative Communication systems.

Physical education in schools, sport activity and total physical activity in adolescents

Less than half of adolescents reach the recommended 300 minutes per week of physical activity (PA). Physical education classes and sports participation provide opportunities for adolescents to accumulate more time for PA practice; however, little is known about the influence of these variables on the level of total physical activity of adolescents. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the practice of physical education (PE) in schools and sports activities (SA) with the practice of total PA of adolescents. The study was cross-sectional and involved 467 adolescents of high school (15.8 ± 0.9 years-old) from the city of Rio Claro, in the State of São Paulo. Participants completed the Physical Activity Questionnaire to Older Children (PAQ-C) and questions related to the practice of PE and SA in schools. We performed a logistic regression with p<0.05 using SPSS. Girls had lower prevalence of PA than boys, 9.4% and 26.8%, respectively. Boys who did not participate of PE classes (OR=0.25, 95% CI=0.09-0.66) and SA in schools (OR=0.34, 95% CI=0.12-0.95) were less likely to be active in PA than boys who practiced these activities. The participation in PE classes or engagement in some SA were positively associated with the practice of total PA in boys.

Objetos de Aprendizagem como recurso pedagógico em contextos inclusivos: subsídios para a formação de professores a distância

This article aims to contribute to the process of inclusion of students with disabilities in regular schools by reporting the results of a survey that aimed to verify whether Learning Objects (LO) are efficient tools in constructing teaching and learning of subject content within the inclusive education context. Participant, tutor and trainer experiences of a distance learning Ministry of Education (MEC) course on Assistive Technology were analyzed. The course was offered to public schools teachers from all over the country. The course activities were recorded in a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) called TelEduc, along with group reports of course participants. Three categories were selected for data analysis: a) interactivity and feedback from the team trainer; b) applicability of the content covered in the course, and c) new learning. The results showed that LO can promote the learning of subject content. Having been designed as educational resources to support teaching and learning, they can enhance educational inclusion of people with disabilities. As for the process of distance formation for teachers, the course contributed to consolidating sound and efficient training of participants by providing: a closer encounter with the world of technology, the possibility of integration of technology in the classroom; conducting theoretical and practical studies, appreciation of diversity and all students' potential; innovations in strategies and learning resources and reflective action.

Sistemas suplementares e alternativos de comunicação nas habilidades expressivas de um aluno com paralisia cerebral

The objective of this research was to describe the use of an augmentative and alternative system for a student with cerebral palsy during intervention. A 10-year-old male student with cerebral palsy participated in this investigation. He attended special classes for people with disability in a public school in a city of the interior of Sao Paulo. The scheduled activities were carried out twice a week for two years at the Laboratory of Special Education of a public University of São Paulo. All of the tapes describing the activities that were filmed during the assessment and implementation of augmentative and alternative communication resource were watched and described using a specific protocol. Based on the information from the protocols, the sessions with intervals greater than 20 days and the ones with activities involving the communication board with the time equal or greater than 20 minutes during the first year of intervention were selected. The chosen sessions were transcribed in full and, after analyzing the text, the following categories were established, according to the stated goal: the graphic system helped the student with utterances of vertical structure (56%) associated with the oral (14%) and non-oral and non-verbal form (30%), while the use of the graphic system along with other forms collaborated to enhance statements, enabling better understanding of the child s intention. The use of augmentative and alternative communication systems provided the expansion of effective dialogical situations for the student during the activities carried out in speech therapy.

Tecnologia assistiva para a criança com paralisia cerebral na escola: identificação das necessidades

Studies about Assistive Technology have emphasized the need to integrate resources, services and strategies for inclusion and special education to foster the learning process and skill development of students with disabilities. The literature describes that the first step towards implementing assistive technology in schools should enable professionals to understand the situation involving the student in order to expand his or her participation in the teaching and learning process. This study aimed to identify the need for assistive technology services, resources and strategies for students with cerebral palsy in school. Two children with cerebral palsy and their teachers were selected. The data collection phase included three successive procedures: interviews with teachers, completing the identification protocol of the school routine and participant observation conducted in the classroom using filming and field diary. Based on the material gained from these three procedures, data triangulation was proposed, i.e., grouping information in a single document in order to establish categories of analysis. After preparing the material, the categories were assessed by judges from the field of knowledge. The results showed that after understanding the situation of the disabled student within the school context, it was possible to establish his or her skills and needs to indicate the appropriate assistive technology resources for the teacher's planning and thus provide proper teaching and learning for the children with disabilities. The study identified the need to establish specific procedures, an organized pedagogical plan and participation of health professionals as consultants on using assistive technology in school.

Concepções de professores sobre a temática das chamadas dificuldades de aprendizagem

This study aimed to identify the conceptions of learning difficulties of teachers working in the beginning years of elementary education. In order to analyze such conceptions from the perspective of inclusive education, the study was carried out in two schools in a city of the State of Paraná. Sixteen teachers (mean age of 41 years) participated in the study. Of these, only one had no higher education. Interviews were carried out individually in the teachers` schools. The interviews were conducted with the support of a topic outline including: aspects of classroom management of the classes in which teachers worked; how to identify students with learning disabilities; causes of learning difficulties; how the school can help a student with learning difficulties. Each interview lasted 50 minutes on average. They were transcribed in full and submitted to thematic analysis. Four categories of analysis were determined: characterization of educational institutions' proposal; conceptions on the identification of students with learning difficulties; conceptions about causes of learning difficulties; possibilities for assisting students with learning difficulties. The results indicated that the main factors reported by the participants on the characterization of pupils with learning difficulties were of the cognitive order. The data also showed that the teachers based their opinions on family aspects in order to focus on causes of learning difficulties; they attributed the largest parcel of responsibility for solving such situations to students' families. One of the main conclusions of this study allowed us to consider that the schools that were investigated reported a practice that doesn't meet the inclusive education assumptions, denoted by the attempt to homogenize regular classes.

Efeitos da comunicação alternativa na interação professor-aluno com paralisia cerebral não-falante

Speech has been regarded as a social communicative modality required for building relationships in different contexts and cultures. Nevertheless, this is not always a readily available resource, especially for those who have developmental disorders. In this sense, Augmentative and Alternative Communication resources and strategies have been used by nonspeaking students with disabilities as useful tools to achieve greater social participation in different environments. Therefore, the present study examined the interaction between teachers and a student with cerebral palsy before and after the use of Alternative Communication strategies in the classroom. The study had a quantitative and qualitative nature and was designed as an intervention study. There were four main stages: 1) filming before the introduction of the resources in the classroom, 2) training the school teachers 3) providing technical assistance regarding the use of alternative communication to the child's teacher 4) filming teacher-student interactions using these technological resources. The interactions were transcribed and grouped into links. In this research, a link means the initiator's behavior directed to the exchange partner and the response in sequence from the interlocutor back to the initiator. It was found that the established interactions presented a maximum of four links, with greater frequency for episodes of 1st and 2nd links. After the intervention, there were different contexts with the presence of interactions up to the 6th link, often greater frequency for episodes of 1st, 2nd and 3rd links. In addition, the teacher showed a tendency to use symbols only as a tool for evaluating and teaching concepts. This perception changed as the teacher became familiarized with the Augmentative and Alternative Communication technology resources.

Percepções de uma pesquisadora aprendiz em busca da compreensão da escrita significativa na EJA

O estudo aqui apresentado integra o Projeto de Educação de Jovens e Adultos: práticas e desafios (PEJA), que é um projeto de extensão desenvolvido na Unesp – Rio Claro, com uma das turmas - a turma da Comunidade - que é composta, na maioria, por mulheres. Sendo a multisseriação uma característica desta turma, fazse necessário um trabalho diferenciado dos que ocorrem em escolas que tem Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) “regular”. Tendo como foco a escrita significativa e sua prática, o estudo objetivou buscar compreendê-las na visão dessas mulheres, que estão imersas na sociedade letrada. Por meio do trabalho desenvolvido nos encontros, a cada aula, com diversos tipos de textos, principalmente poemas, procurei considerar o ponto de vista das educandas, tomando como aporte metodológico o relato de alguns aspectos de suas histórias de vida; ao mesmo tempo, tais relatos eram considerados em suas possibilidades criativas para a aprendizagem e uma aproximação do que poderia ser uma escrita significativa, para as próprias mulheres. Entre os estudos teóricos que deram sustentação à pesquisa, estão escritos de Jorge Larrosa e Paulo Freire, considerando, também, outros autores. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo e teve como sujeitos participantes, educandas e educadores e a pesquisadora, aprendiz. Para desenvolver a pesquisa utilizei-me de elementos da história oral como recurso teórico-metodológico. Compõem o material de análise as produções escritas das educandas e os registros em diário de campo das atividades realizadas e observações pela pesquisadora. Como objeto de reflexão destaco dois conjuntos de atividades que nomeei de Projeto Poemas e Projeto Palavras Verdes, os quais sustentaram este trabalho. O estudo realizado traz argumentos que podem contribuir para a educação de jovens e adultos... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

A construção dos (des)caminhos na relação ser humano-sociedade despertadas a partir das leituras de Alberto Caeiro em uma sala de EJA

Foi no quarto ano de minha graduação que passei a integrar o Projeto de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (PEJA): práticas e desafios, da UNESP – Rio Claro. No projeto desenvolvi algumas atividades que despertaram minha curiosidade por esta modalidade de ensino. Eu tinha um interesse em desenvolver uma atividade de leitura com o livro “Poemas Completos de Alberto Caeiro” no PEJA, quando surgiu a possibilidade de realizá-la em uma sala de Educação de Jovens e Adultos na Escola Estadual Celeste Calil. Por essa época conheci uma atividade cultural e educativa chamada Tertúlia Literária Dialógica, desenvolvida pelo Núcleo NIASE da UFSCAR. Enquanto estudava sobre as tertúlias, a turma da sétima série da EJA da escola Celeste Calil aceitou o convite de ler, em quatro encontros, poemas de Alberto Caeiro. Assim, foi proposta uma atividade de leitura na qual as pessoas pudessem dialogar umas com as outras e expressar suas ideias, percepções e conhecimentos. Os registros das tertúlias foram gerados a partir de uma câmera filmadora e da transcrição das leituras e discussões de cada encontro. Nesse material de registro, procurei atentar para temas que remetessem a leituras de mundo e, nesses temas, as percepções de si mesmos nas relações com o mundo. Ao final, foram levantadas algumas primeiras reflexões a respeito dessas percepções com os processos educativos

Os diferentes espaços e as atividades de lazer dos jovens: estudo em um bairro de periferia de Rio Claro

Integro o grupo de pesquisa Jovens, Violência e Educação que desenvolve pesquisa sobre jovens e violência. Este projeto de pesquisa se integra aos estudos que vem sendo desenvolvidos por esse grupo. E tem como objetivos gerais caracterizar os modos de inserção das escolas e dos jovens no bairro visando à elaboração de programas de prevenção da violência no âmbito escolar. Constituem-se objetivos específicos mapear os diferentes locais e espaços frequentados pelos jovens no bairro, analisar o significado que tem para o jovem a inserção nestes locais e investigar como gerenciam o tempo livre e o que costumam fazer como atividades de lazer. Este estudo está foi realizado em duas escolas da periferia de Rio Claro, um bairro socioeconômico baixo. Para tanto foi aplicado um questionário para os alunos matriculados no 8º e 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental e no 1º ano do Ensino Médio. Neste questionário são mapeados os lugares que os alunos, seus amigos e os outros jovens da comunidade frequentam. Além disso, quais as principais atividades de lazer que os alunos dessas escolas costumam fazer e como organizam o tempo livre
