Cognita: objeto virtual de aprendizagem para auxílio do ensino e avaliação da informática à pessoas com deficiência intelectual

Abstract

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools, together with assistive technology (AT), combined with playfulness, can aid in the learning teaching process, corroborating in the cognitive and motor development of students with intellectual disability (ID), since the playfulness makes the educational environment more enjoyable and fun. However, the literature shows that the works developed for this audience are focused only on literacy, ignoring the evaluation of computer learning. This work developed a Learning Object (LO) called COGNITA which assists teaching and assesses computing contents using as exercises the Portuguese Language course provided for in the National Curricular Common Base (NCCB) for students with ID. COGNITA was developed using a collaborative learning framework, called FrameVOC, whose purpose is to assist in the construction of virtual objects of collaborative learning. The experiment was applied in the Special Education School for Special Education, Doctor Zilda Arns in the Special Education Modality, and the results obtained through the application of COGNITA in a school environment show that the contents seen in the classroom can be taught and evaluated with well-structured criteria in conjunction with the contents of information technology.
