Análise das estratégias de um professor de Física para o ensino de estudantes com Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo (TEA) no Ensino Médio

Abstract

The objective of this research was to understand the strategies used by a Physics teacher in a regular classroom with three students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Integrated High School program with a technical course in Buildings at a public school in Pernambuco. The following data collection instruments were used: (a) a semi-structured interview with the teacher, (b) an observation logbook of the classes, and (c) document analysis of exams and exercise lists of students with autism. From the data analysis, the aim was to identify how pedagogical practices were adapted by analyzing the teacher's knowledge level about Autism Spectrum Disorder, the pedagogical strategies used in the classroom, verifying if there were adaptations in assessments, and understanding the challenges faced in the teaching process to promote a better understanding of scientific concepts. The study highlighted the importance of initial and continuous teacher training, emphasizing the need to adapt Physics teaching to ensure the learning process of these students.
