Ensino de matemática para alunos com deficiência intelectual: um estudo bibliométrico

Abstract

This work had to identify as academic productions carried out in the area of special education, specifically as they addressed intellectual disability and the teaching of mathematics. The methodology used was quantitative of the bibliographic type and both the Sucupira Platform was used to access the postgraduate programs, and consequently access as dissertations and theses that addressed the topic in question. From the reading of the abstracts, the works were first categorized in general according to: type of research carried out, level of education and research area, and secondly specifically in relation to the teaching of mathematics. The results presented that scientific production in the area of intellectual disability, especially that involving the teaching of mathematics, is still very scarce, especially when it comes to adapted teaching practices. In the works that deal with some mathematical content, the approach is made in a superficial way, the relationship between students with intellectual disabilities and the researched content is no longer studied. The research that dealt with the assessment of learning, on the other hand, sought to highlight the main difficulties encountered in the process of including students with intellectual disabilities in the school, the challenges that qualified teachers have to meet these students. Finally, it is important to emphasize that it is necessary to develop research and publications involving teaching practices for students with intellectual disabilities.
