Análise do desempenho pedagógico em matemática dos alunos com necessidades educativas especiais no Distrito Municipal KaMavota: o caso da Escola Secundária Força do Povo cidade de Maputo (2022 – 2023)

Abstract

The present study had the central objective analyzing the pedagogical performance in Mathematics of students with Special Educational Needs in the KaMavota Municipal District. Specifically, the study focused on: (i) identifying the inclusion factors for the pedagogical performance in Mathematics of students with SEN at “Força do Povo” Secondary School; (ii) describe the practices of inclusion for the pedagogical performance in Mathematics of students with SEN at “Força do Povo”Secondary School; and (iii) explain the strategies of inclusion in school management for the pedagogical performance in Mathematics of students with SEN at “Força do Povo”Secondary School. For its realization, qualitative research was used, of a descriptive nature, developed through a “case study”, with documental analysis, non- participant observation and semi-structured interviews being used as data collection techniques. With the analysis of the collected results, it was verified that the school is concerned with offering better learning conditions and effective inclusion in Mathematics of students with SEN. However, (i) the school is faced with a lack of specialized human resources to deal with the type of disability that each student has due to the effective lack of training of its staff; and (ii) teachers understand that by enriching their pedagogical practices in Mathematics teaching, it is possible to make students with disabilities participate in Mathematics classes, developing activities with adaptations to meet inclusion
