Abstract

This Master's research in Education is part of the Postgraduate Program in Education at Universidade do Oeste Paulista (Unoeste) in Research Line 01: Public Policies in Education, formative processes and diversity and is linked to the Institutional Postgraduate Scholarship Program of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), Public Notice No. 69 of 2022, entitled "SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PONTAL DO PARANAPANEMA/SP: AGRO-ENVIRONMENTAL, EDUCATIONAL AND HEALTH PERSPECTIVES". The perspective of knowing and exploring digital platforms that are used as a research source on the literacy of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) was the guiding principle of the proposal. The hypothesis is that the use of educational platforms can be an effective tool to support teachers who work with students included in the initial years of Elementary School, especially in schools in the Pontal do Paranapanema/SP region. The general objective of the research was to identify and explore digital platforms that are used as a research source on students with ASD and, based on these platforms, create didactic proposals that can be developed by elementary school I teachers in the initial years who work in schools in Pontal do Paranapanema/SP. The methodology used has a qualitative approach. Initially, it included a documentary and bibliographic review, exploring the educational legislation that regulates the inclusion of students with ASD, as well as the literature pertinent to the theme. Data collection and selection were carried out through the following stages: 1) Search and categorization of digital platforms that contain the research keywords: Autism, ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Digital platform, Educational platform and Educational digital platforms. 2) Selection and analysis of platforms based on the researcher's experience working with students with ASD; 3) Creation and provision of didactic proposals that can be applied in the context of schools in Pontal do Paranapanema/SP. The analysis was carried out through triangulation, including the data collection axes present in each stage in conjunction with the documentary and theoretical material explored. The research demonstrated that digital platforms, combined with teacher training and curricular adaptations, are valuable tools for the inclusion of students with ASD. Innovative didactic proposals were developed, aiming to promote personalized and accessible education, and it is hoped that the results will inspire future inclusive pedagogical practices.
