Educação especial: um mapeamento sistemático sobre tecnologias computacionais

Abstract

Special education has gained prominence in today's world, both in the field of knowledge and in the field of professional practice, because it is a specialized service for people with special needs. Today, it is extremely important to use technological tools to assist in the education of these students. In this sense, this paper aims to analyze computational technologies that can be used at different levels of education as an aid to improve the learning process of special education students. The research methodology adopted in this work was the Systematic Mapping, as it provides an overview of a research area, identifying the amount, types of searches performed, results available, and publication frequencies over time to identify trends. As a result, 47 computer technologies were identified, of which 18 were available for public access, that can be used for teaching-learning in special education, containing various syllabus for the most different levels. These technologies are distributed in 8 different types of disabilities: Visually Impaired; Autistic Spectrum Disorder; Down's Syndrome; Hearing Deficiency; Special Educational Needs; Motor and Cognitive Disability; Physical and Intellectual Disabilities. As a contribution, it is hoped that assistive technologies can assist professionals working with people with special needs to facilitate inclusion in education.
