O aplicativo @Voice como facilitador do processo de avaliação em ciências de estudantes disléxicos

Abstract

This research refers to the use of information and comunnication technologies (ICT), through the @Voice application, as a pedagogical inclusion tool in order to help Elementary School students with dyslexia in the process of evaluation of the science discipline. The main aim of this research is to comprehend the possibilities of improvements in the teaching and learning process of students with dyslexia of elementary school using a reading application in the evaluative stages of science classes. Therefore, we sought to clarify the following question: By using a reading application during assessment in classroom, do dyslexic students get better performance in these stages? It was used the qualitative approach and to collect date, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the four dyslexic students from a public school in the city of Jataí, as well as their guardians. The interviews were recorded in audio and later transcribed and carried out before and after using the @Voice application. For the evaluation of the collected data, it was used the Bardin’s contente analysis based on the main themes approached by the dyslexic students and their guardians. Lastly, it was concluded that the use of the @Voice application as a pedagogical tool can assist students with dyslexia once they have a better understanding of written language when the texts are read to them and this made it easier the process of evaluating the contents in the science subject. As a final product a workshop was prepared and applied to the teachers of the school participating in the research. The workshop consisted in presenting the results obtained through the research and the didatic-methodological possibilities that ICTs can offer in formal teaching spaces.
