As contribuições da neurociência na inclusão educacional de crianças com discalculia

Abstract

With regard to the various fields of knowledge that provided the development of society, learning is the central element that unites different fields of knowledge such as neurology, psychology and psychopedagogy, in processes related to the cultural and educational formation of the skills involved with reading, writing and calculation. However, some learning disorders can impair the training process of individuals, as occurs with dyscalculia, which presents as its main characteristic, difficulties in performing basic mathematical activities. Thus, this research aimed to analyze studies that investigate the contributions of neuroscience to the process of educational inclusion of children with dyscalculia. Methodologically, bibliographical research was adopted in order to obtain a preliminary bibliographical survey, search for sources, filing, organization and logic of the subject and final writing. Considering research related to teaching-learning, neuroscience and dyscalculia, with a temporal cut, it considered research between 2002 and 2022 as it presents more recent research on the subject. Thus, six books, seven articles, one thesis and thirteen dissertations were selected. Among the results, it can be highlighted that the work found that the dyscalculia diagnosis process still needs to be properly systematized, in addition to the need to include parents and educators in the monitoring of dyscalculia, with the aim of providing inclusion and learning. It is expected that this theme will increasingly be included in studies, according to research published in Brazil.
