Aplicação da Matemática no Ensino Básico para Estudantes com Transtorno do Espectro autista: Uma Revisão Bibliográfica

Abstract

This bibliographical research was carried out through searches of Brazilian scientific articles related to the field of Inclusive Education, specifically in the teaching of Mathematics. The main objective is to analyze the application of mathematics in basic education for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Therefore, publications were sought in the period between 2019 and 2024 and 4 works were chosen for analysis and discussion of the results. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), characterized by difficulties in communication, social interaction and repetitive behaviors, is a permanent condition that generally manifests itself in the first years of life. The learning of students with autistic aspect disorder requires quality teaching, as well as professionals prepared to serve them. Based on this principle, the school must provide strategies that allow students to develop their skills and potential, whenever possible. Therefore, there are several learning models and theories related to ASD that emphasize the importance of observation, modeling and social interaction in the educational process. Teaching methodologies centered on respect for the student's cognitive development are fundamental to promoting meaningful learning and discovery through exploration. Furthermore, assistive technologies and digital tools play a crucial role in the education of individuals with ASD, offering resources to improve communication, text interpretation, mathematical notions and other essential skills. These tools contribute significantly to the inclusion and educational development of these students.
