Utilização das tecnologias em crianças com perturbações do espectro autista em contexto da prática de ensino supervisionada

Abstract

This report is part of the discipline of Supervised Teaching Practices, master of teaching of informatics. With this work we aim to complete the master’s degree with the presentation of a succinct and articulated account of the learning experiences that includes the three main areas of work: a theoretical course associated with the curricular area, practice of applying knowledge and investigation as a fundamental dimension in construction of the teachers’ professionalism. This work is divided into two distinct parts. The first corresponds to the internship. On this, we revisit the essential of the teacher's pedagogic practice, such as curriculum, assessment, planning and sharing the experiences lived over this formative path. The second presents the projects developed in the non-lective component and investigation tasks which are also part of the universe of the teachers’ professionalism. During this report we highlight the reflections on the learning that participation in cooperative projects developed at the school brought us from the relational, technical and pedagogical points of view. Regarding the research, we explored as a research topic / educational intervention and the educational potential of development of technologies in this particular instance, considering a child referenced as having an autistic spectrum disorder (autism), since during the process of internship, contact with this child has been a constant. We considered interesting to explore this theme, to assess the extent to which technologies can constitute a pedagogical tool to promote the development for this particular child, and it was our conclusion that this contribution revealed positive.
