Os questionamentos sobre o tema surgiram durante a graduação no curso de Licenciatura em Química da Universidade Federal de Pelotas e fizeram com que desenvolvesse a primeira pesquisa na temática. Com os resultados e as inquietações originados dessa pesquisa, iniciou-se, em 2015, um novo caminho na formação docente, qual seja o mestrado profissional no Programa de Pós Graduação no Ensino de Ciências e Matemática da Universidade Federal de Pelotas. Conhecer o processo histórico da inclusão, as leis que a regem, a formação de professores, as necessidades das escolas públicas da cidade de Pelotas e os Transtornos do Espectro do Autismo (TEA), mais especificamente a Síndrome de Asperger, tornaram-se, então, alguns dos processos realizados durante a elaboração desta dissertação. Assim, este trabalho demonstra os caminhos percorridos pela autora, as estratégias planejadas para o desenvolvimento de materiais adaptados para o ensino de Química para alunos que apresentam TEA e, ainda, o percurso trilhado, objetivando a compreensão dos processos de aprendizagem dos alunos que apresentam TEA- Síndrome de Asperger. Através da parceria com as professoras da sala de aula e da sala de Atendimento Educacional Especializado, foi possível a elaboração de recursos adaptados, aplicados tanto em sala de AEE quanto na sala inclusiva. A proposta está embasada nos estudos que abordam o Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo (TEA), a inclusão de alunos com deficiência na escola regular, o ensino de Química e a compreensão dos processos de aprendizagem. Para alcançar os objetivos, a investigação se desenvolveu em uma abordagem qualitativa, através da metodologia de Estudo de Caso, permitindo assim, um contato maior do pesquisador com os pesquisados e a aplicação das propostas elaboradas de forma colaborativa. Os dados foram analisados de forma descritiva, cujos resultados demonstraram que a utilização dos recursos possibilitaram a inclusão dos alunos Asperger, além de proporcionar o início de um trabalho colaborativo entre professores da sala de aula com a professora da sala de recursos. Como produto final do mestrado profissional elaborou-se um guia digital onde foram descritos além dos recursos para o ensino de Química utilizado durante o mestrado, as legislações que regem a inclusão e caracterização dos indivíduos que apresentam a Síndrome de Asperger, com o intuito de ser elemento de apoio aos professores, a ser distribuído nas escolas da rede / The discussion about inclusion is not recent, but it is necessary to analyze what we mean by inclusive education and who are the subjects of it, since in spite of the fact that legislation is consistent in this sense, the ways to its concreteness are still uncertain. The questions about the subject arose during the graduation in the course of Degree in Chemistry of the Federal University of Pelotas and caused that it developed the first research in the subject. With the results and the restlessness originated from this research, a new path was started in the teacher training, which is the professional master's degree in the Graduate Program in Teaching Sciences and Mathematics of the Federal University of Pelotas. Knowing the historical process of inclusion, the laws that govern it, the training of teachers, the needs of the public schools of the city of Pelotas and the Autism Spectrum Disorders (TEA), more specifically Asperger's Syndrome, , some of the processes carried out during the elaboration of this dissertation. Thus, this work demonstrates the paths covered by the author, the strategies planned for the development of materials adapted for the teaching of Chemistry for students who present ASD and also the path trajectory, aiming at understanding the learning processes of students with ASD - Asperger's syndrome. Through the partnership with the teachers of the classroom and the Specialized Educational Assistance room, it was possible to elaborate adapted resources, applied in both the ESA room and the inclusive room. The proposal is based on studies that address Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the inclusion of students with disabilities in regular school, the teaching of chemistry and the understanding of learning processes. In order to reach the objectives, the research was developed in a qualitative approach, through the methodology of Case Study, thus allowing a greater contact of the researcher with the researched ones and the application of the proposals elaborated in a collaborative way. The data were analyzed in a descriptive way, whose results showed that the use of the resources made possible the inclusion of the Asperger students, besides providing the beginning of a collaborative work between classroom teachers and the resource room teacher. As a final product of the professional master's degree, a digital guide was elaborated which described the legislation for the inclusion and characterization of individuals with Asperger's Syndrome in addition to the resources for the teaching of Chemistry used during the master's degree, in order to be element of support to teachers, to be distributed in the schools of the network

In this sense, this research aims to contribute to the inclusive education in mathematics of students with autistic spectrum disorders. This study set out to analyze the meaning given to the geometric object of study by a student with Asperger syndrome, through the application of a pedagogical proposal, which would favor designing activities in the School Mathematics Laboratory (SML). The object of the research is mediations designed in the SML and their impact on the process of argumentation and geometric learning by a student with Asperger syndrome. The research problem consists of three questions: (1) What are the mediations designed by a teacher of Mathematics for students with Asperger syndrome involved in plane geometry activities in an SML? (2) What mediator actions emerge in collective geometrical learning activities when a student with Asperger syndrome is involved? (3) What arguments are used by a student with Asperger syndrome in solving plane geometry problems? This study takes a qualitative approach and the method used was that of a case study of observation. The procedures and methodological resources adopted in the research involved learning workshop records drawn up with the subject of the research, interviews, dialogues, record and documentary analyses. The underlying theoretical assumptions were based on the Cultural-Historical Theory. The results show evolution in the process of argumentation and in solving mathematical activities on the part of the student. This denotes better manipulation of mathematical signs and also the acquisition of scientific concepts. Mediations and social interactions between students and the teacher were crucial to the development and learning of geometrical concepts with greater meaning for the student with Asperger syndrome. As an educational product of this research, a CD was designed containing the script of all the workshops held in the SML, the planning, reasons and needs which led to its application. / Pensar a educação como um processo de formação humana, a partir das relações sociais, culturais, históricas, em um contexto inclusivo, é um desafio para professores e pesquisadores em todas as áreas conhecimento. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa busca contribuir para o processo de educação inclusiva em relação à Educação Matemática de alunos com o Espectro Autista. O presente estudo objetivou analisar o significado dado ao objeto de estudo geométrico por um aluno com Síndrome de Asperger, a partir da aplicação de uma proposta pedagógica que valorize o desenvolvimento de atividades no Laboratório de Matemática Escolar (LME). O objeto da pesquisa é: As mediações desenvolvidas no LME e seus impactos no processo de argumentação e aprendizagem geométrico por um aluno com Síndrome de Asperger. A problemática dessa investigação é composta por três perguntas: (1) Quais são as mediações desenvolvidas por um professor de Matemática para aluno com Síndrome de Asperger, quando envolvido em atividades de geometria plana em um LME? (2) Quais são os atos mediadores que emergem em atividades coletivas de aprendizagem geométrica quando um aluno com Síndrome de Asperger nela está envolvido? (3) Quais são os argumentos utilizados por aluno com Síndrome de Asperger no desenvolvimento de problemas de geometria plana? A abordagem investigativa foi a qualitativa e o método em uso foi o estudo de caso de observação. Os procedimentos e recursos metodológicos, adotados na pesquisa, envolveram registros de oficinas de aprendizagem desenvolvidas com o sujeito da investigação, entrevistas, diálogos, registros e análise documental. Os pressupostos teóricos que a nortearam estiveram fundamentados na Teoria Histórico-Cultural. Os resultados apresentam uma evolução no processo de argumentação e resolução de atividades matemáticas por parte do estudante, o que denota uma melhor manipulação dos signos matemáticos e também a aquisição de conceitos científicos. As mediações e as interações sociais entre os alunos e o professor foram fundamentais para o desenvolvimento e para a aprendizagem de conceitos geométricos com maior significado por um aluno com Síndrome de Asperger. Como produto educacional desta pesquisa, elaboramos um CD, contendo um roteiro de todas as oficinas realizadas no LME, com o planejamento, os motivos e as necessidades que levaram à sua aplicação.

Evidences have pointed to an atypical style of visual processing in autism, which is a condition belonging to PDD. This research was carried out in order to verify the familial and not familial face processing in children with Asperger syndrome (AS) or with Not Specified PDD (PDD-NOS) and to compare it with the same processing in control-children. Pictures of holistic faces (whole face and profile) and of parts of the face (eyes, nose and mouth) were presented to the children in a computer screen. The case-group refers to seven children with AS or PDD-NOS, and the control-group included other seven children with typical development. Children were 6-12 year old. All children had minimal IQ = 70 (WISC). Diagnoses of AS and PDD-NOS was established by the application of the Autism Screening Questionnaire (ASQ) and the Screening Questionnaire for Asperger Syndrome (ASSQ). Significant differences (p = 0,018) were observed inside the case-group when compared the success frequencies of familial (100%) and not familial (42%) faces. There were no significant differences between case and control groups in relation with success frequencies and time spent for familial whole faces processing. It is supposed that individuals with AS or PDD-NOS are able to develop an holistic style for processing very close familial whole faces. / Os Transtornos Invasivos do Desenvolvimento (TID) constituem um grupo de desordens do comportamento duradouras e persistentes que se caracterizam por comprometimento qualitativo da comunicação e da interação social, padrões restritos de interesses e presença de comportamentos estereotipados e maneirismos. Evidências crescentes mostram um estilo de processamento visual atípico no autismo, que faz parte desse grupo de desordens. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o reconhecimento de faces familiares e não familiares em indivíduos com síndrome de Asperger (SA) e com TID Sem Outra Especificação (TID-SOE) e compará-lo com o de um grupo-controle. Para tanto, utilizaram-se figuras de faces familiares holísticas (face inteira e perfil) ou de partes da face (olho, nariz e boca). Participaram da pesquisa 14 crianças do sexo masculino com idades variando de 6 a 12 anos. As sete crianças com SA e TID-SOE formaram o grupo-caso, e outras sete com desenvolvimento típico, o grupo-controle. Foi estabelecido como critério de inclusão QI mínimo de 70, avaliado pelo WISC em toda a amostra. As crianças do grupo-caso foram avaliadas com a aplicação do Autism Screening Questionnaire (ASQ) e do Screening Questionnaire for Asperger Syndrome (ASSQ). Considerando o grupo-caso, encontrou-se diferença significativa (p = 0,018) nos acertos quando comparadas figuras de faces familiares (100%) e não familiares (42%). Não foram observadas diferenças entre os grupos em relação ao número de acertos e ao tempo necessário para o reconhecimento da prancha familiar de face inteira. Supõe-se que os indivíduos com SA e TID-SOE conseguem desenvolver uma forma holística de processamento mediante uma face inteira familiar muito íntima.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Marcos Malta Campos.pdf: 466983 bytes, checksum: e34e360a58b6aa4ed21bde8fb800caac (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-02-19 / Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa / This research aimed a daseinsanalytical understanding of the teenager Christopher s being-in-the-world (protagonist of the novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time), explaining the relationships of the character with others who are presented in his world. Christopher s manifestations can also be diagnosed as Asperger s Syndrome, according to DSM-IV-TR. The phenomenological method described by Giorgi was used to emerge the Christopher s being-with others phenomena, following a daseinsanalytical understanding based on the contributions of Martin Heidegger in his Zollikon Seminars. These seminars exposed Daseinsanalysis as an instrument able to understand healthy and sick existence, from appropriated concepts to human being. The research found out that Christopher get on with others predominantly in strangeness, seeing people many times as potently nocuous and seeking lonesomeness. The phenomena being-with others was demonstrated in Christopher s life, which suggests that this study confirms some of Heidegger s postulations. / Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo realizar uma compreensão daseinsanalítica do ser-no-mundo do adolescente Christopher, protagonista do romance O Estranho Caso do Cachorro Morto, explicitando as relações do personagem com as pessoas de seu mundo. O adolescente descrito no livro pode ser diagnosticado com Transtorno de Asperger, de acordo com critérios do DSM-IV-TR. Utilizou-se do método fenomenológico, conforme descrito por Giorgi, para realizar a emersão do fenômeno ser-com os outros do referido personagem, seguindo-se compreensão daseinsanalítica embasada nas contribuições do filósofo Martin Heidegger nos Seminários de Zollikon. Estes seminários visaram expor a Daseinsanalyse como instrumento capaz de compreender o existir sadio e o existir doente em geral a partir de concepções próprias à existência humana. Os principais resultados da análise apontam que Christopher relaciona-se com os outros predominantemente no modo da estranheza, enxergando as pessoas muitas vezes como potencialmente nocivas e buscando o isolamento. O fenômeno existencial ser-com foi concretamente demonstrado na vida do personagem, o que leva a pensar que em alguns momentos da análise o estudo ganhou um certo caráter de confirmação de postulações heideggerianas.

A APRENDIZAGEM DE UMA CRIANÇA COM ALTAS HABILIDADES/SUPERDOTAÇÃO E TRANSTORNO DE ASPERGER

Silveira, Sheila Torma da 30 March 2014 (has links)
According to the Brazilian educational laws, the inclusion of students targeted by Special Education shall be in regular schools, offering them the Special Educational Services in resources room, during the shift opposite to the class hours. However, to receive such services, the students need to be identified as special education targets, that is, disabled students, those with Global Development Disorders, and those with High Abilities/Giftedness. Due to the lack of information in the field of High Abilities/Giftedness, these students continue to be neglected in their special educational needs. This research aimed at investigate the learning process of a child showing High Abilities/Giftedness associated to Asperger s Disorder, considering the executive function and the Mind Theory, thus contributing to qualify the Educational Special Services. As to the methodology, the research had a qualitative approach, adopting the case study as methodological procedure. The participants were a public elementary school student with Asperger s Distorder and High Abilities/Giftedness,his parents, teachers and Special Education teacher. Data were gathered using daily records and a semistructured interview, and were studied according to content analysis. The research allowed assessing that the educational proposals and evaluations previously made on this case basically focused behavioral issues where deficits appeared, instead of also encouraging and developing potentials in those areas where the student showed interests and presented good achievement. In order to change this reality and improve the educational services, good investments on teachers education and training would be necessary so as they could become authors of significant changes when joining the new knowledge to their professional practices. / A inclusão escolar dos alunos que são público alvo da Educação Especial, de acordo com a legislação educacional brasileira, deve ser em escola comum, ofertando o Atendimento Educacional Especializado em sala de recursos multifuncional, no contraturno. Porém, para receber este atendimento, os alunos necessitam ser identificados como público-alvo da educação especial, ou seja, alunos com deficiência, Transtorno Global do Desenvolvimento e Altas Habilidades/Superdotação. Devido à falta de informação e formação na área das Altas Habilidade/Superdotação, estes alunos continuam sendo negligenciados nas suas necessidades educacionais especiais. Esta pesquisa teve o objetivo de investigar o processo de aprendizagem de uma criança com Altas Habilidades/Superdotação e Transtorno de Asperger associados, considerando a função executiva e a teoria da mente, contribuindo, assim, para a qualificação do atendimento educacional. Quanto à metodologia, a pesquisa teve uma abordagem qualitativa, assumindo como procedimento metodológico o estudo de caso. Os participantes da pesquisa foram um aluno de escola pública de ensino fundamental com Transtorno de Asperger e Altas Habilidades/Superdotação, seus pais, seus professores e o professor do AEE. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados foram utilizados o diário de campo e uma entrevista semiestruturada. A apreciação dos dados foi feita através da análise de conteúdo. Com a investigação foi possível constatar, que as propostas pedagógicas e avaliações feitas anteriormente neste caso, focaram-se basicamente nas questões comportamentais, onde há déficits, ao invés de estimular e desenvolver também os potenciais em áreas que manifestem interesses e apresentem bons desempenhos. Para que se possa modificar esta realidade e qualificar o atendimento educacional, será necessário um bom investimento na formação dos professores, para que se tornem autores de mudanças significativas, quando unirem os conhecimentos adquiridos à sua prática profissional.

Lego Therapy : developing social competence in children with Asperger syndrome through collaborative Lego play

Brett, Elinor January 2013 (has links)
Children with Asperger syndrome and high functioning autism typically experience difficulty with social interaction and social communication, hence the development of social competence is important to promote social inclusion. A quasi-experimental baseline design was employed to measure changes in social competence following participation in Lego therapy. Fourteen children with Asperger syndrome participated in an eight week Lego therapy intervention in nine schools. Social competence was measured through observations of social interaction on the school playground and adaptive socialisation and communication. Statistically significant increases were observed in adaptive socialisation and play following participation in Lego Therapy. No significant differences were found in communication, median duration of interactions or frequency of self-initiated social interactions. Measures of social competence were completed again following a period without intervention, to establish whether increases in social competence were sustained. Aspects of social competence decreased following a period without intervention, however, decreases were not significant. Programme fidelity was measured by adherence to fundamental aspects of the intervention and a measure of inter-rater reliability. Adherence ranged between 63-100% for aspects of the intervention, and between 82-97% for schools delivering the intervention. Implications for practice were highlighted, and included the need to encourage generalisation of skills from Lego therapy into the wider school environment, and a need for on-going support for school staff when the intervention is delivered in schools. Alternative ways of promoting social competence within an inclusive school environment were discussed.

A mixed methods exploration of the sense of self among people diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in adulthood

Tilki, Susan January 2015 (has links)
Asperger syndrome is a relatively recent diagnostic classification. Several factors, including a high prevalence of mental illness, mean receiving a diagnosis in adulthood is a very unique experience but remarkably there is little literature about the impact on individuals. Instead the dominance of the medical/psychiatric paradigm pervades and limits understanding and possibilities. The main implication is a lack of clarity about what support services are needed and effective, and as such the needs of this population are often overlooked. This is the first study to explore the sense of self among a sample of males and females diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in adulthood using social constructionist and constructivist ideas. It was interested in whether personal construal of the self before diagnosis and self after diagnosis were differentiated. Given the importance in the development of self-concept of discriminations between the self and others, the research also sought to explore how people diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in adulthood construe other people with and without Asperger syndrome. Using the repertory grid and other techniques from Personal Construct Psychology (Kelly, 1955) in combination with a semi-structured interview, this study presents a novel exploration of idiosyncrasies and commonalities across a demographically diverse sample of eight participants. An extended analysis of a unique subsample of women diagnosed aged 50 years and over was undertaken. Both cognitively complex and simple construct systems were found across the sample. Findings indicated the self before diagnosis was construed critically and was more elaborated than the self after diagnosis. Several participants had a reduced sense of self following diagnosis. The diagnosis offered an explanation of symptoms but for some participants these symptoms were a way of life and accommodating the new label with the existing view of self posed challenges. An overarching and striking theme was the sense of difference felt by participants before and after diagnosis. This study offers a fresh insight into a virtually unexplored population which, through dissemination, may influence the way clinical psychologists and other practitioners work to support adults diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. Recommendations for clinical practice included approaches that target the need for individuality, commonality and sociality, and should be gender-specific where possible. Such approaches might elaborate multiple aspects of self, the diagnosis and related dilemmas. They should support people to widen their perceptual field to alternative ways of construing and explore change. The mixed method approach was assessed to be a strength of the study and a number of recommendations for future research are presented.

Využití MMPI-2 v diferenciální diagnostice Aspergerova syndromu a schizofrenie / Using the MMPI-2 in Differential Diagnostic of Asperger's Syndrome and Schizofrenia

Adámková, Jana January 2015 (has links)
The main target of this study is to identify the scales in MMPI-2 which could help the differential diagnostic process between Asperger's syndrome and schizophrenia. Adult persons with Asperger's syndrome and adult persons with schizophrenia were examined. The study has a quantitative character, concretely data mining, which offers generating and verifying hypothesis. The results show that configuration of heights of specific scales can be crucial in distinguishing between Asperger's syndrome and schizophrenia. In the concrete we expect increase in 0Si, Sc1, Pa2 and OBS along with medial T-scores in Sc6, Pa1, Psyc and Biz in protocols of people with Asperger's syndrome. People with schizophrenia have increased T-scores in Sc6, Pa1, Psyc and Biz. KEY WORDS  Asperger's syndrome  Schizophrenia  Differential diagnostic  Adulthood  MMPI-2
