Page 105 - O uso das tecnologias assistivas no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de estudantes com necessidades educacionais específicas

paper proposes the use of active learning
methodologies through the Problem-Based Learning
approach. In this sense, an initiative of a teacher
training workshop in Assistive Technology is presented,
which involves the resolution of problem situations,
with discussions, research and experimentation. A
group of 14 teachers participated in the training, which
proved effective in combining theory and practice
through learning situations built on real cases. The
workshop was conducted in four moments: the
presentation of problem situations, which made it
possible for teachers in groups to reflect on the
situation of each student; a theoretical presentation
on AT; experimenting with AT resources, which
enabled participants to reflect on the possibilities
offered by Assistive Technology to students with
disabilities and how they can actively participate in this
process; and, finally, the proposal of a solution to the
problem presented. The search for solutions allowed
the development of teamwork and self-learning skills.

Keywords: Assistive Technology; professional training;
