Práticas pedagógicas e inclusão escolar: o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de alunas com deficiência intelectual

This research aimed to know and analyze the pedagogical practices that have been developed in the teaching and learning of students with Intellectual Disability (DI), enrolled at common class of elementary school I. The study was conducted in a public school at Natal/RN, involving two students with DI, a multipurpose teacher, a teaching assistant, a teacher of arts and educational coordinator. As for methodological choice, we chose to develop a qualitative study, undertaking a case study. As tools for the construction of the data we use: semi-structured interviews, participant observation, field diary and document analysis. Data analysis reveals that the institution in which the research was undertaken gradually implementing changes in order to develop an inclusive practice, consistent with its assumptions. Regarding the practices developed in the teaching and learning of students with intellectual disabilities, it was possible to realize the fulfillment of certain adjustments in relation to the objectives, activities and some content, involving the use of resources and varied strategies. With regard to educational activities, we found that these had different levels of complexity, covering both basic goals as more complex objectives. From the observations, we realize that the Assistant Professor of mediations during varied activities as challenging tool in intellectual processes. We note, too, a dynamic classroom in which disabled students were under the guidance of Assistant Professor, and other students with all-round teacher who had a fairly traditional teaching methodology. It created thus an isolation situation, since there was no proposition practices to be developed with all students, and interaction among classmates, generally quite restricted. Although were highlighted developments in the social and academic learning of the surveyed students, the teachers said they did not feel prepared to work freight inclusion. The study reveals the need for teachers reviewing some actions undertaken, in order to develop more democratic pedagogical practices of education, stimulating the interactions between students, by proposing challenging activities that promote the formation and concepts. In addition, it points to the need of the education system invest and encourage the qualification of teachers with regard to education in an inclusive perspective, through actions that promote lifelong learning. It needs to be developed on the teacher a reflective attitude, resulting in a view that due diligence must be entered in practice inherent in teaching in order to use to enhance their educational experience.

Complementos alimenticios relacionados con los estados de cansancio y fatiga, función cognitiva e intelectual y memoria, y función visual: composición, etiquetado y adecuación a la legislación vigente

El conocimiento acerca de la relación dieta-salud y el enorme impacto que su difusión provoca sobre la opinión pública constituye uno de los elementos que más está condicionando el interés por llevar a cabo una correcta alimentación, sobre todo en los países desarrollados. Desde hace unos años se ha empezado a considerar la importancia que tiene un estado nutricional óptimo para el mantenimiento de la salud y para la prevención de la enfermedad. Estos dos aspectos junto con los cambios socioeconómicos que han tenido lugar y que influyen en las formas de alimentarnos, han potenciado el uso de los productos llamados “complementos alimenticios”. Dichos productos son considerados como un recurso accesorio que permite fácilmente mejorar el estado nutricional o fisiológico, y están destinados a quienes deseen completar de forma puntual su alimentación para contrarrestar una deficiencia o satisfacer una necesidad específica. Los complementos alimenticios se utilizan con la idea de alcanzar un buen estado de salud, además de protegerse frente a las posibles agresiones al organismo. La población asocia éstos a la idea de “tratamiento natural” sin efectos adversos. Sin embargo, recientes estudios muestran cómo la ingesta de determinados complementos alimenticios, a base de multivitaminas y minerales (ácido fólico, vitamina E, vitamina A, betacaroteno, hierro, cobre,…), podrían producir efectos negativos para la salud, puesto que el exceso de nutrientes puede ser dañino. La frontera entre un medicamento y un complemento alimenticio, no está siempre clara (a menudo poseen los mismos componentes y en las mismas formas de dosificación), y según establece la legislación, estará en función de sus ingredientes, de la proporción de éstos presentes en el preparado, de la indicación que se le asigne y de los efectos que pudiera tener para la salud de las personas, ejerciendo un efecto fisiológico para los complementos alimenticios, y famacológico para los medicamentos...

Prática profissional do Assistente Social no contexto da Incapacidade Intelectual

O presente trabalho de investigação designado “Prática Profissional do Assistente Social no contexto da Incapacidade Intelectual” tem como objetivo conhecer os procedimentos de intervenção dos Assistentes Sociais no âmbito da Incapacidade Intelectual. Realizado um aprofundamento teórico e conceptual sobre a Incapacidade Intelectual, sobre a resposta social para a Incapacidade Intelectual (Centro de Atividades Ocupacionais e Lar Residencial) sobre a prática do Assistente Social no âmbito da Incapacidade Intelectual. Encetámos uma pesquisa qualitativa do tipo descritivo que se socorreu da entrevista estruturada para recolher dados junto de três Assistentes Sociais de duas instituições da zona centro do país no ano lectivo de 2014/2015. A análise de conteúdo aos dados levantados permite-nos concluir que o Serviço Social é uma profissão de intervenção, onde o Assistente Social desempenha as funções de mediador de facilitador de capacitador entre as famílias e os clientes, aconselhando-os e possibilitando-lhe o diálogo a outros serviços. Os dados revelaram, ainda, que o Assistente Social desenvolve o seu trabalho com a família, com os clientes, com a equipa técnica e ainda com a comunidade, corroborando os resultados dos estudos de Carvalho (2013), Silva (2012) e Gomes (2010). Considerando a pertinência do trabalho do Assistente Social no contexto da Incapacidade Intelectual e a escassez de estudos nacionais sobre esta temática, este trabalho assume-se como o primeiro contributo científico facilitador da construção de um olhar crítico e reflexivo para futuros debates.
