Abstract
Atualmente, a diversidade de alunos que frequenta a escolaridade obrigatória,
especificamente com Perturbação do Espetro do Autismo (PEA) é uma realidade. Esta
implica que a Escola e os professores se organizem de modo a que as respostas educativas
contemplem a especificidade de cada aluno. Para isso, a diferenciação curricular, através
de práticas diferenciadas exercidas por cada docente aliadas a uma reflexão, permite
delinear um fio condutor com respostas educativas o mais adequadas possível ao(s)
alunos(s) e assegurar o processo de inclusão numa Escola Inclusiva. A prática docente é,
assim, uma via complexa para a transmissão de conhecimentos, uma vez que deve ser o
mais dirigida possível a cada aluno e contemplando a sua singularidade.
Nesta ótica, a presente investigação assenta num estudo de caso, mediante o qual o
pretendido é averiguar práticas e procedimentos exercidos pelos professores para uma
diferenciação curricular do aluno P com PEA, numa turma do ensino regular, de um
agrupamento de escolas do concelho de Loures.
Para tal, privilegiou-se a observação, na aula de várias disciplinas, do plano de
estudos do aluno e entrevistas semidiretivas dirigidas a oito professores (n=8). A análise
dos dados recolhidos permite responder aos construtos das questões orientadoras que nos
permitiram trilhar a investigação do estudo de caso de índole interpretativa.
A constatação de práticas pedagógicas diferenciadas efetivadas pelos professores,
bem como o trabalho colaborativo entre os vários intervenientes do Conselho de Turma
e o(a) professor de Educação Especial são premissas refutadas neste estudo. Outros
aspetos prendem-se com o perfil de cada docente na sua prática com alunos com
Necessidades Educativas Especiais e a formação profissional adquirida para atender a
singularidade de cada aluno com PEA, no decurso dos vários momentos do processo de
ensino-aprendizagem.
Nowadays the number and variety of students who attend compulsory schooling, specially targeted with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), is a fact which cannot be underestimated. This situation requires the effective engagement and organisation of teachers, staff and board direction, so that the entire school community will be able to provide for the most suitable answers taking into account each student’s needs and realities. That’s why it´s paramount to follow curriculum differentiation, through a set of practices undertaken by each teacher which will show a careful and detailed reflexion upon each student´s needs in order to build common strategies providing suitable educational answers according to students’ profile and guarantee inclusion in an Inclusive School. Teaching should address students’ needs and interests. So, it must be seen as a complex path to transmit knowledge and develop soft skills. Taking these ideas into consideration, this research is based upon a case study whose aim is to check practices and procedures undertaken by teachers in order to establish different curriculum practices of student P suffering from ASD. This student makes part of a regular 7th grade class in a school in Loures City Council. The work got focused on class observation in different classes and subjects from the student’s study plan and includes semi- structured interviews addressed to eight teachers (n=8). The data allows us to get some guideline answers so that we can track down our research towards a comprehensive case study. This study shows teachers’ differentiated pedagogical practices as well as their cooperative work altogether with the Special Education teacher. It’s also important to highlight each teachers’ profile and working experience with Students with Special Needs and their professional training in order to reach each Special Needs’ Student along the several steps / moments of the teaching learning process.
