Tecnologias computacionais no auxílio ao aprendizado de indivíduos com TDAH: um mapeamento sistemático da literatura

Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the Neurodevelopmental Disorders, which can begin in childhood and be carried into adulthood. This disorder is characterized by symptoms of inattention, restlessness and impulsivity. People with this disorder have difficulty carrying out routine and school activities, resulting in low academic performance. Given this, technological solutions have been developed to support the learning of those diagnosed with ADHD. This article presents a current and comprehensive overview of these solutions, with an emphasis on their approaches and technologies in use. The difference in this study lies in the comprehensive view of the solutions available in the literature, given that previous works emphasize a single specific type of technology or approach. With this objective, a Systematic Mapping of Literature was carried out, following guidelines from well-established guides in the academic world, where 42 (forty-two) articles were evaluated from a total of 1644 (one thousand seven hundred and forty-four) candidate studies. The results obtained in this work indicate the majority use of solutions based on educational games with an emphasis on technologies designed for mobile device platforms. Furthermore, the quantitative ones focus on studies aimed at children enrolled in elementary school. Another aspect observed is the prevalence of multidisciplinary teams in validating proposals aimed at children. It is believed that this study can complement the existing body of knowledge in the literature, adding information about technologies and the particularities of their use in supporting teaching for those diagnosed with ADHD.
