Intervenção e avaliação inclusivas: estudo de caracterização do desenvolvimento do potencial em jovens com necessidades específicas

Este estudo centra-se na intervenção e avaliação inclusivas com o objectivo de caracterizar o desenvolvimento do potencial de alunos, com necessidades educativas específicas que desenvolvem projectos inovadores. A fundamentação teórica apoia-se no modelo inclusivo de Ainscow (1998) que propõe uma avaliação ajustada à diversidade dos alunos, reorganização das escolas para responder adequadamente a todos, e nos modelos sobre potencial humano de Gardner (2000) e Sternberg (1985) focalizados na multiplicidade da inteligência. No estudo empírico de carácter qualitativo com metodologia de estudo de caso de 4 jovens da APPACDM - Évora, utilizaram-se como instrumentos de recolha de informação: entrevista; análise documental; portefólios; observação/avaliação de competências. Os resultados demonstraram que a avaliação inclusiva centrada nas potencialidades facilita a caracterização da funcionalidade de cada um na diversidade dos domínios do desenvolvimento. Os portefólios fomentaram uma avaliação follow-up, destacando-se a autoavaliação, o registo das mudanças do aluno, o feedback contínuo aos professores, aluno e fann1ia. ABSTRACT: This study focuses on the inclusive assessment and intervention in order to characterize the development potential of students with special educational needs who develop innovative projects. The theoretical framework relies on Ainscow's inclusive model (1998) which proposes an assessment tailored to student’s diversity, school’s reorganization to respond appropriately to everyone, and in models of human potential of Gardner (2000) and Sternberg (1985) focused at the multiplicity of intelligence. ln the empirical study of the qualitative methodology with a case study of 4 youths of APPACDM - Évora, were used, as instruments for collecting information: interviews, documental analysis, portfolios, observation and evaluation skills. The results showed that inclusive assessment focused at the potentialities facilitates the characterization of the functionality of each one in the diversity of fields development. Portfolios fostered a follow-up evaluation, especially the self-assessment, registration of students changes and continuous feedback to teachers, students and families.

LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE ESPACIO ESCOLAR Y LA JUSTICIA SOCIAL

La Justicia Social se ha convertido en los últimos años, en un tipo de requerimiento básico para lograr un proyecto educativo inclusivo, que coloque a la escuela en relación a los múltiples y complejos desafíos que la sociedad le plantea. Si bien, esta temática ha estado desde siempre acompañando la constitución de discursos educativos y pedagógicos, sus significaciones y alcances parecen ser mayores toda vez, que una serie de teorías han contribuido a ampliar su campo semántico. Hoy la Justicia Social, incorpora las discusiones sobre diferencia-igualdad en una lógica redistributiva, pero también incorpora el debate sobre diversidad-inclusión, en una lógica interseccional del reconocimiento. En este sentido, interesaría buscar indicios y evidencias de la promoción de la “justicia/injusticia social”,  desde las experiencias de construcción de espacio escolar que les son permitidas a los estudiantes en el contexto de la educación formal. Para ello, se acude a nociones humanísticas del espacio geográfico, donde la subjetividad traza las posibilidades de desarrollo identitario, definiendo marcas y huellas espaciales que son necesarias de comprender en profundidad y que pueden ser indicativas de la adhesión de ciertos actores a lógicas de actuación que promueven la construcción de igualdad e inclusión en la escuela.

Teaching-learning process and teaching methodology in Portuguese for the deaf under the perspective of inclusive education

For years, the discrepancies faced by deaf students in the teaching of the Portuguese language were due to the lack of hearing. Recently, these failures have been attributed to the use of inadequate teaching methodologies and to the lack of communication through Libras between the deaf and the hearers. This article aims at reporting a research study that analyzed the teaching-learning processes from the point of view of a deaf elementary student in Viçosa/MG. The project was primarily developed by a qualitative approach, by utilizing the bibliographical review, the participant observation and the field diary. Results showed the communicative interactions were restrained, since teachers and hearing students were not fluent in Libras, and there was no interpreter available. The methodology was mostly expositive, with a predominance of oral resources. The findings demonstrated the challenges faced by the deaf students are numerous, since the school does not offer the structure to meet their needs, and the teachers do not have the required education to work in an inclusive school environment. This article reports some methodological proposals for the teaching of Portuguese that were elaborated and applied within an inclusive context, all following PCN orientations. It reinforces the need to invest in teacher training to meet the demands of inclusive education to improve the quality of the classes offered to the deaf in regards to the teaching-learning process for Portuguese.
