Estratégias metodológicas no ensino de ciências e biologia para alunos com diagnóstico de autismo

Abstract

This research monograph entitled "Methodological strategies in teaching science and biology for students diagnosed with autism" aims to analyze the scientific academic research on the use of teaching strategies in science and biology for students with this disorder in the context of regular schools. The study consists of a bibliographic study with a qualitative approach, being held in three nationwide databases, which were, Scielo, Public Domain Portal and Capes Journal Portal. Initially listed out to autism descriptor and held the general survey on their bases, and you can find 1.101 publications on the topic. In a second time, it was considered the period of 10 years for the analysis for the purpose of research and it was identified 844 academic studies from July 2006 to June 2016. Then, considering only publications in magazines and developed in national institutions, including articles, dissertations and theses, screening was carried out by selecting the studies on teaching strategies for this target audience. Through this screening, they found eight scientific research. After this survey, the study identified these works was carried out. Students with autism are among those considered target audience of the inclusion policy which states that their access in educational institutions, particularly in regular schools, is a right guaranteed by Brazilian law and therefore the use of strategies in teaching curriculum content is critical to the effectiveness of the educational inclusion process. These results demonstrate that the investigated bases there is research that addresses the process of teaching and learning in the Science and Biology field for these students, there is thus a lack of research aimed at the construction of knowledge in this area. However, reading the research found about teaching strategies for students with autism revealed that these excel in Elementary Education 1 and the prevalence of methodological resource is characterized by the use of recreational games and activities. The research analyzed also show that educational planning is essential to promote meaningful learning for these students because the strategies must consider the specific needs of each student. From the analyzed studies it was concluded that the teaching strategies found can be adapted to the work of science and biology throughout the school curriculum so that students with autism to feel active and involved in the acquisition of knowledge.
