Didática multissensorial e o ensino inclusivo de ciências

Considering the discussions about the inclusion of disabled people in the regular education and the need to find methodologies that meet the diverse needs of students, this work brings to the discussion the multisensory didactic perspective as an alternative to science inclusive teaching.

Educação inclusiva: concepções de professores de ciências com relação à inclusão de alunos com deficiência visual em aulas de astronomia

Despite of intense discussion over recent decades about the inclusion of disabled people and the influence of conception of teachers about that inclusion for the effectuation of it, this work sought to identify conceptions of science teachers regarding the inclusion of students with visual impairment in the classes of astronomy providing basis for future studies.

Estratégias de inclusão educacional desenvolvidas com alunos surdos na rede pública municipal do Recife-PE

Este estudo aborda as Estratégias de Inclusão Educacional Desenvolvidas com Alunos Surdos na Rede Pública Municipal do Recife-PE, tendo como questão norteadora: de que maneira as Escolas investigadas, da RPA 3, da rede pública municipal do Recife, vem trabalhando numa perspectiva inclusiva com alunos surdos inclusos nas salas regulares? Nesse sentido, procurou-se abordar as mais recentes literaturas acerca dos temas em destaque: inclusão educacional, exclusão, prática pedagógica, ensino regular e alunos surdos, a fim de compreendermos a realidade da qual nos propomos estudar. Quanto ao objetivo que se pretendeu alcançar foi o de compreender que tipo de estratégias professores da rede pública municipal do Recife utilizam no fazer pedagógico com alunos surdos para ressignificação da prática pedagógica. O estudo foi desenvolvido com base na abordagem qualitativa, utilizando-se como técnica de coleta de dados a observação direta e a entrevista semiestruturada, A análise dos dados partiu dos discursos de Bardin, através do método análise de conteúdo. Os autores que subsidiaram o estudo foram: Mantoan (2005), Dorziat (2009), Lacerda (2010), Skliar (1998), Sassaki (2003), Sanches (2001), Santos (2005), Richardson (1985), Minayo (1994) e outros. Os resultados revelam que os docentes, em sua maioria, apresentam lacunas na sua formação, na perspectiva de um trabalho pedagógico diferenciado, no ensino junto aos alunos surdos inclusos na sala de aula regular. Estes, ainda, não estão preparados para trabalhar com as especificidades dos alunos surdos, excluindo-os das atividades vivenciadas no processo educativo, negligenciando a utilização da sua primeira língua. Também, evidenciam a falta de qualidade da escola inclusiva, que não privilegia a aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento intelectual e cultural do surdo, pois, são obrigados a conviver, na maioria das vezes, com a cultura oralista.Conclui-se que é preciso que espaços sejam abertos para que os surdos possam participar na construção e tomada de decisões políticas, no que se refere a sua educação.

Itinerário educacional de uma aluna cega e a busca pela imagem adaptada

The scope of this study directs an investigation in search of how the blind person learns knowledge at school mediated by the image in context of an inclusive education and how it can be (or is) triggered by the adaptation of images to the tactile seizure of the blind person and his correlative process of reading. To achieve this intent we choose a qualitative approach of research and opted for the modality of case study, based on the empirical field of a public school in the city of Cruzeta, RN and as a the main subject a congenitally blind female student enrolled in high school there, focusing, often, on the discipline of geography in its words mapping. Our procedures for construction of data are directly involved to the documentary analysis of open reflective interview and observation. The base guiding theory of our assessments is located in the current understanding about the human psychological development of its educational process inside an inclusive perspective, of contemporary conceptions about the visual disability as well of image as a cultural product. Accordingly, the human person is a concrete subject, whose development is deeply marked by the culture, historically built by human society. This subject regardless of his specific features, grasping the world in an interactive and immediate way, internalising and producing culture. In this thinking, we believe that the blind person perceives in multiple senses the stimuli of his environment and acts in the world toward his integration into the social environment. The image as a product of culture, historically and socially determined, appears as a sign conventionally used as an icon that in itself concentrates knowledge of which the student who does not realize visually himself and his surroundings cannot be excluded. In this direction, the inclusive educational process must build conditions of access to knowledge for all students without distinction, including access to the interpretation of the images originally intended for the seizure strictly visual to other perceptive models. Based in this theory and adopting principles of content analysis, we circulated inside the interpretation of the data constructed from the analysis of documents, from the subject speeches, from records of the observation made in the classroom and other notes of the field daily. In the search for pictures on the school contents, adapted to the tactile seizure of blind student, was seen little and not systematic in practice and teaching at the school. It showed us the itinerary of the student life marked by a succession of supports, most of the time inappropriate and pioneers in cooling the construction of her autonomy. It also showed us the tensions and contradictions of a school environment, supposedly inclusive, that stumbles in search of its intent, in the attitudinal and cumulative barriers brought, because of its aggravating maintenance. These findings arose of crossing data around of a categorization that gives importance to 1) Concepts regarding the school inclusion, 2) Elements of the school organization, educational proposal and teaching practice, 3) Meaning of the visual image as the object of knowledge, 4) Perception in multiple senses and 5) Development and learning of the blind person before impositions of the social environment. In light of these findings we infer that it must be guaranteed to the disabled person removal of the attitudinal barriers that are against his full development and the construction of his autonomy. In that sense, should be given opportunity to the student with visual disability, similarly to all students, not only access to school, but also the dynamics of a school life efficient, that means the seizure of knowledge in all its modalities, including the imagery. To that end, there is a need of the continued training of teachers, construction of a support network in response to all needs of students, and the opportunity to development of reading skills beyond a perspective eminently focused in the sight

A educação escolar na comunidade negra de Sibaúma: a trajetória educacional da Escola Municipal Armando de Paiva

The black communities, nowadays known as quilombolas, have long been segregated in social and cultural distances in relation to other groups in the country. Gradually, the establishment of public policy has enabled the inclusion of these social communities in new instances, favoring the improvement of standards of learning. In order to know the route of the school in relation to its surroundings, this paper presents a reflection on the educational history of the Municipal School Padre Armando de Paiva, inserted in the context of afrodescendência (African descendants), in the community called Sibaúma, municipality of Tibau do Sul - RN, characterized as the object of this study. Methodologically, this study is limited in a descriptive research of the historical reconstruction of the school, a case considered worthy of analysis. From a reflection on the presence of African descent in Brazil and in Rio Grande do Norte, the study also presents information on education in Brazil. Finally, it presents the trajectories directed to the analysis of physical conditions, the dynamics of registration, and avoidance of repetition of its students and the qualifications of its teaching staff. Survey selected for analysis five-year academic periods, a series which began in the year nineteen eighty and ends in the year two thousand and ten

Análise dos efeitos de um plano educacional individualizado no desenvolvimento acadêmico e funcional de um aluno com transtorno do espectro do autismo

Given the paradigm of inclusive education, the presence of students with autism spectrum disorder in regular schools has become more significant in recent years. Studies have revealed, however, deficits in academic participation of these students in these settings. Among the factors contributing to this phenomenon include poor teacher training and the lack of strategies to promote curriculum access. The aim of this study was to develop an instrument that would promote academic inclusion of a student with autism through procedures that could simultaneously empower the teacher. In this perspective, the study aimed to analyze the effects of an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP), developed collaboratively with teachers, on the academic and functional development of a student with autism in an early childhood education setting. Data were collected in a private school located in the city of Natal in Rio Grande do Norte, in the course of the academic year 2012. In addition to the student with autism, one teacher, a specialized educator, and four teacher aides participated in the study. The research used a single subject quasi-experimental design (AB) as well as qualitative methods of data analysis. The study was conducted in three phases: characterization, baseline and intervention. The first comprised interviews with the child´s parents and teachers, as well as the identification of two routines focus of intervention. In the second phase, the amount of time the student spent engaged in the selected routines during baseline was analyzed. In the third phase, the researcher prepared, collaboratively with the teachers, an individualized educational plan (IEP) for the student. Finally, the IEP was implemented by the teachers. The results indicated qualitative and quantitative changes in student´s participation in academic and functional tasks after the intervention program

RoboEduc: especificação de um software educacional para ensino da robótica às crianças como uma ferramenta de inclusão digital

Because of social exclusion in Brazil and having as focus the digital inclusion, was started in Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte a project that could talk, at the same time, about concepts of collaborative learning and educational robotics , focused on children digitally excluded. In this context was created a methodology that approaches many subjects as technological elements (e. g. informatics and robotics) and school subjects (e. g. Portuguese, Mathematics, Geography, History), contextualized in everyday situations. We observed educational concepts of collaborative learning and the development of capacities from those students, as group work, logical knowledge and learning ability. This paper proposes an educational software for robotics teaching called RoboEduc, created to be used by children digitally excluded from primary school. Its introduction prioritizes a friendly interface, that makes the concepts of robotics and programming easy and fun to be taught. With this new tool, users without informatics or robotics previous knowledge are able to control a robot, previously set with Lego kits, or even program it to carry some activities out. This paper provides the implementation of the second version of the software. This version presents the control of the robot already used. After were implemented the different levels of programming linked to the many learning levels of the users and their different interfaces and functions. Nowadays, has been implemented the third version, with the improvement of each one of the mentioned stages. In order to validate, prove and test the efficience of the developed methodology to the RoboEduc, were made experiments, through practice of robotics, with children for fourth and fifth grades of primary school at the City School Professor Ascendino de Almeida, in the suburb of Natal (west zone), Rio Grande do Norte. As a preliminary result of the current technology, we verified that the use of robots associated with a well elaborated software can be spread to users that know very little about the subject, without the necessity of previous advanced technology knowledges. Therefore, they showed to be accessible and efficient tools in the process of digital inclusion

Construção de um sistema educacional inclusivo: um desafio político-pedagógico

Na realidade brasileira a proposta da construção de um sistema educacional inclusivo encontra-se amparada legalmente e em princípios teóricos fundamentados em ideais democráticos de igualdade, eqüidade e diversidade. No entanto, muitas vezes, as práticas inclusivas se distanciam sobremaneira das proposições teóricas e legais. Assim, neste artigo, temos como objetivo discutir aspectos relacionados ao delineamento de políticas públicas de inclusão educacional, considerando as ações político-administrativas e as de caráter pedagógico. Colocamos em debate as dificuldades de apreensão do caráter inter-setorial do processo, do conceito de educação inclusiva, como também as dificuldades de materialização de práticas não excludentes, da transformação do contexto educacional, tanto no que se refere às concepções quanto às ações na busca de implantação e implementação de um sistema inclusivo.

Grupo interdisciplinar: Construção de unidade educacional sistematizada em aprendizagem baseada em problemas

In 2003 the construction team of the 1st grade of the medical and nursing courses from a medical school began a work aiming at curriculum reconstruction, and restructured cognitive contents and the integration of basic and clinical aspects, in order to adapt to the incentive program for Curriculum Changes (PROMED) which allows for the continuity of curricular innovations. This team worked considering the group dynamics, a method already used in tutorial sessions which teachers have some familiarity with. For a good group performance the team participants were divided into two subgroups: one for constructing educational problems and the other for doing cognitive assessment exercises. The team and the subgroups met weekly, and every 15 days the group met for socialization of information, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the process and/or products. A good adhesion, an active involvement of participants and satisfaction expressed by each participant with their inclusion in the group were reflected in the final product and contributed to the subjects' commitment to the proposal. This way, in the process the individual transformations and relations in a situation requiring the collaboration of professionals were essential in the process of permanent curricular reconstruction.

A Escola Cabana e a concepção de qualidade social de educação como política pública educacional para Belém/PA (1997-2004)

Tomando-se como referência as condições políticas e pedagógicas em que se realizam as políticas educacionais para a educação básica, este estudo analisou a concepção de qualidade social da educação, assumida pela Escola Cabana, no município de Belém/PA, no período de 1997 a 2004. Explicita os fatores e elementos necessários à educação de qualidade, bem como, analisa as contribuições e limites do Projeto Escola Cabana para construção do conceito de Qualidade Social da Educação como política pública. Realizou-se por meio de análise documental, assumindo a abordagem crítico-dialética como referencial teóricometodológico. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se, inicialmente, com um levantamento na produção bibliográfica existente das concepções de qualidade evidenciadas nas políticas educacionais, assim como das investigações realizadas sobre a Escola Cabana. A análise documental incidiu sobre os documentos oficiais produzidos pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação – SEMEC, sendo considerados como fontes primárias do estudo os planos de governo, os cadernos dos fóruns e conferências, os cadernos de educação e a proposta preliminar e final do Plano Municipal de Educação. Ao analisar tal política é possível apontar algumas considerações que indicam a referência da Qualidade Social da Educação, em um primeiro momento, como uma estratégia pela qual se alcançaria a inclusão social na escola, com sua ação centrada no processo de reorientação curricular, o qual envolve a organização do trabalho pedagógico por meio da resignificação do tempo para aprendizagem, da formação voltada para a cidadania e democracia, da instituição de processos democráticos de avaliação da aprendizagem, assim como, da organização do ensino por meio do trabalho coletivo e interdisciplinar com vistas à permanência com sucesso do aluno na escola. Em um segundo momento observa-se uma elaboração mais ampla e avançada para formulação da Qualidade Social da Educação como política pública, tendo em vista, o importante vínculo construído entre a organização educativa escolar e a garantia de condições estruturais e financeiras como responsabilidade do poder público na oferta da educação como direito público subjetivo.

Movimento pela educação de jovens e adultos nas CONFINTEAS e seus desafios para a política educacional

A pesquisa partiu da Tese de que existe um movimento pela Educação de Jovens e Adultos que apresenta um envolvimento local, regional e mundial cujas diferentes agendas colocam desafios para a política educacional neste campo. Analisa de forma mais geral o movimento pela EJA, considerando os desafios postos por suas agendas à política elaborada e implementada nesse campo. Mais especificamente, discute sobre os avanços das recomendações para a educação de adultos existentes nas CONFINTEAS; reflete sobre os diferentes movimentos pela EJA atuantes no processo CONFINTEA VI; analisa os desafios colocados pelas agendas produzidas pelos diferentes movimentos pela EJA. A pesquisa realizada se caracteriza como pesquisa documental em que se analisa os principais documentos produzidos no movimento pela EJA. Através da pesquisa documental analisa o conteúdo das agendas elaboradas discutindo os desafios colocados para a política de EJA baseado teoricamente, principalmente, em Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Maria Clara Di Pierro, Moacir Gadotti, Miguel Arroyo, Maria Margarida Machado e Timothy Ireland. Com isso, obtém como resultados que as CONFINTEAS realizadas no século XX apresentam um histórico de proposições que vão avançando ao longo de suas realizações, mas que não surtiram efeitos significativos nas ações práticas da EJA; que existem movimentos pela EJA, que vão além dos movimentos sociais, que se consolida pela articulação entre Estado e Sociedade Civil; que nesses movimentos foram produzidos agendas nas quais aparecem certas tendências que desafiam a política de EJA como: a diversidade que me levou a discutir a educação para a diversidade; a inclusão de pessoas na e através da educação, considerando a perspectiva da educação para a inclusão; e a preocupação com as problemáticas ambientais do planeta remetendo meu olhar para a educação para a sustentabilidade.
