Abstract(s)
A massificação das tecnologias, abrangendo cada vez mais instituições e população em
geral, originou uma aproximação da informação e do conhecimento às pessoas, permitindo
um novo olhar para esta área, para as novas tecnologias e para o seu uso.
Tendo como ponto de partida, a sociedade de informação e o recurso às tecnologias,
recursos esses tão patentes actualmente, é possível pensar em criar as condições
necessárias para que seja viável evoluir sempre mais, através da imaginação e de ideias
criativas.
Com base na aproximação das tecnologias que são cada vez mais acessíveis, o presente
estudo pretende avaliar se as novas tecnologias, nas suas mais variadas formas, podem ser
uma mais valia no ensino de autistas.
O autismo começa a ser encarado como um campo a desenvolver estudos e a explorar os
conceitos tecnológicos. O estudo aqui apresentado, não pretende ser apenas mais um, mas
antes mostrar o trabalho efectuado até à data e o que pode ser realizado, expondo
propostas.
No sentido de conhecer um pouco melhor os conceitos relacionados com a área do autismo,
foi necessário recorrer a pesquisas na Internet, à leitura de livros e a reuniões com pessoas
ligadas a essa área, tornando possível uma aquisição de saberes e uma nova visão sobre a
temática.
Explorados os conceitos iniciais do autismo tornou-se imprescindível a procura dos recursos
educativos utilizados nesta área, não só recursos empregados no método tradicional de
ensino, como também, os modelos que procuram usar as novas tecnologias.
A análise dos recursos existentes permitiu conhecer o panorama actual dos métodos e
modelos em uso que conjugado com o levantamento de necessidades efectuado no
decorrer deste trabalho, contribuíram para compreender as carências existentes e assim
com base nesse conhecimento adquirido efectuar uma proposta de modelo educativo
baseado em tecnologias para apoio educativo de autistas.
The abundance of technologies, covering even more institutions and population in general, brought information and knowledge close to people, providing a new look to this area, the new technologies and their use. As a starting point, the information society, the use of technology is now well known, so it must be created the necessary conditions so it can always evolve through imagination an creative ideas. Based on this approach, the study undertaken seeks to evaluate whether the new technologies, in its many forms, can be a real asset in teaching autistic. Autism begins to be seen as a field where studies and technological concepts can be developed and exploited respectively. The study presented here is not intended to be just one more but to show the work done so far and what can be accomplished by exposing proposals. In a way to better understand the concepts related with the autistic area, it was necessary to use Internet research, book reading and interviews with people connected to that area, making possible an acquisition of knowledge and a new vision about the thematic. With the autistic initial concepts explored the search for learning resources used on this area became essential. Resources used in the traditional learning method as the models that try to use the new technologies. The analysis of existing resources allowed knowing the actual panorama of methods and models in use. That in conjunction with the review of needs made with the course of this work, contributed to understand the existing lacks and so to make, having that acquired knowledge has a base, a proposal of a learning model based in technologies to support autistic learning.
