Mediação pedagógica junto à uma estudante com paralisia cerebral: um estudo de caso

Abstract

The theme of this work is Pedagogical Mediation with a Student with Cerebral Palsy (CP). It aims to analyze the contributions of pedagogical mediation with a student with cerebral palsy in a regular school. The aforementioned student at the time was 21 (twenty-one) years old, studying the 9th (ninth) year of Elementary School II. The research took place in a public school in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba in 2019. The study is methodologically configured as qualitative, field, descriptive research and is developed from a case study. Initially, a bibliographic and documentary survey was carried out to build the theoretical foundation and then the choice of the empirical field, identification of the subject, field observations for analysis of intervention and mediating actions, data from field notebooks and conversations with the mother of said student. The results of this study demonstrate that intentional pedagogical mediation provides significant improvements in the student's motor, cognitive development and social interaction, thus resulting in full participation in activities carried out at school. It was also found that pedagogical mediation, when thought strategically, that is, knowing the specificities of the subject, contributes positively to their development.
