Abstract

This internship report, entitled "The Influence of Play in the Learning Process in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): The Case of the Nossa Senhora das Graças Children's Center," is a partial requirement for obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Development and Education (DEI) at the Faculty of Education (FACED) of Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM). It aims to present the activities developed at the Nossa Senhora das Graças Children's Center (CINSG) in Maputo, from March 11 to June 14, 2024. Following Bianchi's (2005) approach, the internship is an experience that allows the student to demonstrate their creativity, independence, and character. This is an indispensable learning process that allows the student to get closer to their work reality, improving their skills and abilities. Similarly, it allows the student to know, analyze, and reflect on their work environment. Through the internship, the student correlates their professional choice with their technical aptitude. In this sense, in agreement with Bianchi (2005), FACED-UEM (2014) adds that the academic internship aims to: 1. Integrate theoretical competence into practical work, through contact with the socio-professional reality and the acquisition of practical experience relevant to each of the courses; 2. Adapt the theoretical-practical skills acquired throughout the training to professional practice; 3. Reinforce the student's interest in the profession; and 4. Enable employment ties with internship institutions. The internship was motivated by the need to expand the theoretical knowledge obtained during training and add professional skills through practical experience at CINSG. And in this way, verify the distinction between concrete realities and the theories learned. The report is structured in six sections, namely: introduction, which includes the context and motivation for undertaking the internship; presentation of the internship institution; activity plan; activities developed by the intern; case study and conclusions, obtained after the internship and the recommendations considered relevant(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
