Práticas colaborativas no ensino médio: estudo de caso de um aluno com Hipomelanose de Ito

Abstract

Research has highlighted the challenges faced by students with intellectual disabilities during the high school education process. In this context, collaborative practices have been recognized as important strategies to mitigate these difficulties. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the educational demands of a student diagnosed with Hypomelanosis of Ito — a neurocutaneous condition frequently associated with intellectual disability — and to describe his educational and social context, with a view to proposing pedagogical strategies that promote his participation in the school community. The research was conducted using a case study methodology, coordinated by a team of researchers. Data were collected through observational records and interviews with the student and his family, allowing for an in-depth analysis of his school journey, interests, and specific needs. The results revealed a lack of curricular adaptations in the teaching process, as well as socialization difficulties faced by the student in the school environment. Based on the identified demands, the research team proposed pedagogical strategies aimed at promoting the student's participation in the school context, thereby fostering his inclusion and valuing his potential.
