Alunos com síndrome de Down na aula de matemática : integração ou inclusão?

Abstract

With the completion of the World Education Conference in all (1990), where they discussed about the social inclusion needs of excluded minorities, among them people with special educational needs. This conference imposed to Brazil a new educational order, official by LDB 9394/96 and Resolution 01 of 11/09/2001, which in turn guarantees and determines the inclusion of students with special needs placed in mainstream education, including the student with Down syndrome. Including it does not restrict only to the physical insertion, but the right to benefit from a pedagogy so that it enables the development of intellectual learning capabilities. Through is mind, we propose to research how is the potential for teaching and learning of mathematics for students with Down syndrome in inclusiveness, collecting data through a survey with a qualitative approach of bibliographic nature. Where addresses different authors such as Fonseca (2002), Bissoto (2005), Bourscheid (2008), Carvalho (1998) Cuckle (1999), Oliveira (2004), Mantoan (2015) Macedo (2005) and among others that supported the research and the obtained results, which indicate that students with Down syndrome may have a rather good performance in teaching and learning mathematics through manipulative activities, exploitative, with the aid of concrete materials, mainly concepts and calculations. With the results to which were obtained from the literature survey, to which each author addresses that the student with Down syndrome can learn math yes. One of the difficulties which were observed during the research that the student with Down syndrome, they relate to the ability of abstraction in complex situations like any other student, may have more or less difficulty in learning mathematics. The success of inclusion it depends not only on teachers and the way which addresses its methodology, but of all the components in which they are inserted in this process: the student, family, school, other students and society.
