Confecção e aplicação de recurso didático tabela periódica educacional para estudantes com transtorno do espectro autista

Abstract

This study presents the development of an inclusive teaching resource designed for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), aiming to facilitate the understanding of generalizations found in the periodic table. The material is a modular puzzle composed of adhesive cubic pieces, featuring chemical elements and their electronic configurations. Through a practical and playful approach, the resource seeks to enhance interaction and engagement among these students, addressing their cognitive and sensory needs. In addition to encouraging active participation, the tool aims to simplify the assimilation of fundamental chemistry concepts, such as element organization, periodic properties, and electronic configuration. It is expected that the use of this resource will contribute to more meaningful and inclusive learning, fostering skill development and interest in the subject matter. The results may serve as a foundation for future pedagogical innovations aimed at inclusive education in science teaching, particularly in chemistry.
