Avaliação da aprendizagem dos discentes com transtornos do espectro autista nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental da cidade de Cajazeiras - PB.

Abstract

The assessment of learning is important to observe the knowledge constructed by students and identify difficulties. This research has the general objective of analyzing the assessments used by teachers in the initial years of elementary school to assess the learning of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder - ASD in schools in the city of Cajazeiras-PB. Currently, Autism has been gaining visibility, from this, the curiosity arose to understand how the learning of these children is monitored in schools by teachers. This research seeks to answer the following problem: How do teachers carry out the assessment of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder - ASD? The field research methodology was chosen, with a qualitative approach and exploratory character. For data collection, we used semi-structured interviews with a script of twelve questions. The interview responses were recorded, transcribed and then analyzed. The main theoretical references that supported this research were Cunha (2012), Silva (2022), Mantoan (2003), Vygotsky (1998). Based on the results obtained with the responses of the five interviewees, the following points were observed: the need for training on ASD for teachers; the improvement of the organization of assessment activities for students with ASD; and the lack of teaching resources. It is worth noting that despite the lack of adequate training, the interviewees seek to read about the subject and qualify themselves, seeking to make adaptations to serve these students, considering the limitations of each one and seeking to develop interaction dynamics, thus promoting social interaction.
