Proposta de uma sequência didática para trabalhar gravitação universal com uma discente com transtorno do espectro autista

Abstract

This study proposes the elaboration and investigation of the pedagogical potential of a didactic sequence involving some methodological resources for teaching of Universal Gravitation, to a student with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This material consists of texts and videos with a historical focus, the use of TDIC as simulators and the development of models seeking insertion and contribution to the teaching-learning process. Interviews were carried out with a student who has Autism Spectrum Disorder, parents, teachers and the pedagogical team, in order to understand how the teaching-learning processes occur. The physics content was worked in the evening, concurrent with regular classes with the student of the 1st year of high school, in a public school in the city of São Tomé, State of Paraná. The material developed was applied in the second half of 2019 to a student with TEA. The data collected during the implementation of the didactic sequence showed significant changes in relation to the student's learning, which can be observed through the performance of evaluations and in the development of the activities proposed in the didactic sequence.
