Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Inovação em Tecnologias Educacionais) - Instituto Metrópole Digital, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2021.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/44531This research was made at the Graduate Program in Innovation in Educational Technologies, at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, and aimed to develop accessible podcasts about Berardinelli Syndrome and Down Syndrome for use in public schools. Faced with the problematic in which Special Education is inserted and its inclusive dimension, the detailed study for the context of public schools in RN, seeks to identify the possibilities of accessible use of the podcast. Podcast is an audiovisual resource that mainly brings the element of the orality and stands out for the expansion of the internet, making it easy to access, produce and distribute. Podcasts can be downloaded from the internet to access on websites and applications that carry content of any interest. Through this media resource, the study seeks alternatives for its didactic and pedagogical use applied to students affected by Berardinelli and Down syndromes. The study considers the podcast a educational resource to be incorporated into the pedagogical practices of teachers and pedagogical teams in schools, which can be diversified and, at the same time, particularized for the socialization of knowledge about the specificities of the Berardinelli Syndrome and Down Syndrome in the context social and educational. Regarding the methodological aspect, participatory research was adopted, consisting of two stages - the first stage concerns the construction of podcasts, organized into 8 episodes, which addressed the following aspects: educational, social and clinical related to Down Syndrome and Berardinelli Syndrome , in the form of interviews. The second stage deals with the availability of podcasts and, later, sending questionnaires to teachers to evaluate the podcast as a pedagogical resource on Berardinelli Syndrome and Down Syndrome. Data were organized and analyzed using the principles of Content Analysis. To obtain the results of the first stage, resulting from the production of podcasts, the WhatsApp messaging application was used to conduct and record the interviews. The editing was done through video applications: Filmora 9 and Canva. The results of the second stage show that 52.4% of teachers do not know the podcast resource and 81% of them do not adopt the podcast as a pedagogical resource. The data point to the weaknesses in accessing knowledge about Berardinelli Syndrome and Down Syndrome. The conceptions deriving from the questionnaires reveal the podcast as a viable pedagogical resource in the classroom, because 52.4% of teachers identified aspects that motivated them to watch podcasts and considered that this device can contribute to teacher education and to the socialization of issues related to special education. The research concludes that the podcast is a resource with pedagogical and educational potential for teachers, from a perspective of inclusive education.Acesso AbertoPodcastAcessibilidadeInclusãomasterThesis
