Contextualizando a matemática por meio de projetos de trabalho em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar: foco na deficiência intelectual

Abstract

The educational process of the person with intellectual disability was marked by a history of segregation. However, several movements, such as social inclusion, have sought to defend and discuss the necessary conditions for their learning by encouraging the development of public policies consistent with their educational needs. Thus, the person with disabilities has a right to a quality education, which considers their specific learning in order to promote their autonomy. In this context the knowledge of mathematics and science become indispensable to the integral formation of the citizen must therefore be worked at the school in a dynamic and exciting approach, which arouses the motivation to learn. Thus, the teacher proposing pedagogical interventions that seek to enter the student with intellectual disabilities in learning and teaching process, highlighting the importance and usefulness of mathematical and scientific knowledge in their daily lives. To this end, we chose to support the pedagogical interventions in the methodology of projects working on contextualized and interdisciplinary approach, which seeks to make sense of everything that is learned, and the student an active participant. Thus, this research aims to analyze the results obtained in the teaching and learning of Mathematics and Science in intellectual disabled students process by applying a contextualized and interdisciplinary project. The educational interventions were developed in APAE - School of Basic Education in Special Education Mode in Intellectual and Multiple Area, the city of Ponta Grossa, Paraná, with six students from the 2nd year of elementary school. Thereby obtaining the data resulting from application of pedagogical interventions occurred through an interpretive nature of qualitative research. During the implementation of the project work, it was observed that students were motivated to learn, taking the position before the knowledge asset. The results show that the proposal favored the construction of math and science concepts grounded in everyday situations as well as the accessibility of this knowledge for intellectual disabled students. Furthermore, it was found in all stages of project development that students showed confidence to expose their ideas, which led to an encouraging atmosphere, so that showed themselves capable of learning. From activities with the students, an educational product, which is organized in a pedagogical notebook for the development of an interdisciplinary project work covering the discipline of mathematics and science with the theme "Preparing of a meal ". The aim of this book is to propose a methodology for teacher teaching mathematics grounded through the tripod curiosity, research and discovery in a contextualized and interdisciplinary approach to science.
