UM OLHAR SOBRE O TRANSTORNO DE DÉFICIT DE ATENÇÃO E HIPERATIVIDADE: ORIENTAÇÕES DIDÁTICO-PEDAGÓGICAS PARA O ENSINO DE BIOLOGIA

Abstract

Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is considered by scholars as a neurological disorder. Throughout the centuries it has received several names and in the present day it is one of the most studied disorders. It arises during childhood, being able to accompany the child until adolescence. ADHD is diagnosed more often in the early years of early school, when the child begins to have difficulty staying focused and quiet. It has three subtypes and three different degrees, which can vary from mild to severe. Children with ADHD have guaranteed through declarations and treaties the right to school inclusion, as well as every child with special educational needs. The educator needs to develop teaching methodologies capable of making education inclusive, thus enabling the child with ADHD to participate in school activities. Thus, the objective of this bibliographic research is to provide didactic-pedagogical guidelines, specifically in biology teaching, that can assist the teacher in the development of his / her classes and in the learning process of children with ADHD.
