Atendimento educacional especializado: experiências corporais e movimento

Abstract

The present work aimed to investigate the reverberations of working with body movements and the relations promoted by the motion in the context of the Specialized Education Services (SES) as opposed to a teaching style that only values the sight and hearing. The primal intention was to verify the occurrences of meaningful experiences for the students from that proposition. The methodological approach of the investigation of movements and relations aimed a research with qualitative results. The thesis held at the Professional Master of Arts was structured in four chapters from the description and analysis of body practices proposed in the SES of a local public school in the city of Uberlândia - MG. The first chapter shows the trajectory of the researcher, seeking to explain the paths that led to the research. In the second chapter, from a brief presentation of SES's history in Special Education, the school is contextualized and the students who attend the SESthere. The third chapter describes the practices carried out with students with Intellectual Disability (ID) in the multifunctional resource room. In the fourth chapter, a reflection is developed from the discussion of the experience lived by students and elements such as the speech and drawingthroughout the work. The researcher also discusses her active presence in the process, recognizing her body and movement as part of the experience. Perceptions and feelings in the relationship body / world, served to support the recognition of experience, according to the author Jorge Larrosa. Upon reflection it was possible to recognize some important elements regarding the students’ experiences, also according to the same author: meaning, understood as the meaning that is given to what happens to you; availability, understood as presence, giving perception to the move done; and memory, as to the author, experience is not just what happens to you but what you detain from it. Such elements were observed within the survey in order to consolidate an analysis inspired by phenomenology.
