Tecnologias assistivas: uma perspectiva no ensino de matemática

Abstract

The obstacles encountered by many education professionals, especially in teaching math to regular school children with some kind of cognitive impairment, encompass several factors. One is the lack of support materials. This paper presents the proposal to raise the use of assistive technologies in mathematics teaching. Free software of dynamic quality was sought so that those that best met the research expectation could be analyzed. The amount and quality of the information contained in the software was direct and objective to better serve our student so that they could synthesize the mathematical contents. The general objective of this research is to investigate how the resources of free software assistive technologies can contribute to the teaching / learning of mathematics of students with cognitive disabilities. Given these reflections, we formulated the following questions to guide our studies: to analyze what are the main cognitive disabilities, to research free software for the teaching of mathematics for children with cognitive disabilities, to identify the potential of free software for the teaching of mathematics for children. with cognitive disabilities and reflect on the teaching of mathematics in inclusive education. To achieve our general and specific objectives we take our methodology in such a way and seek to analyze through theoretical references, websites, academic platforms and legal documents which pertain to school inclusion. Therefore research has shown that the role of the teacher is beyond the classroom, is to seek help for the transmission of knowledge in a clear, objective and increasingly pleasurable for you and your students.
