O aluno diagnosticado com deficiência intelectual : limites da perspectiva classificatória

Abstract

This paper aims to talk about the search for an evaluation process that does not enframe children in a fixed place based on normal parameters, in order to undertake a new evaluation perspective that perceives the human being in its spread and complexity. The work presents a discussion based in writers like Moyses (2011), Mantoan (2004), Canguilhem (2002), Cordie (1996), Sternberg and Grigorenko (2003), as well as two of the main works of Merleau-Ponty: Phenomenology Perception (1999) and Psychology and Education of the Child (2006). The research uses a qualitative approach and the method is the multiple case study. Relevant methodological aspects to this approach were used as document analysis (evaluation reports) and semi structured interviews with teachers, psychologists and progenitors. The proposal is based on the need to understand the other in his or her amplitude as a human being, thoughtful, global and unique. It starts from the proposition that it is necessary to find ways to conceiving and education of diagnosed students that unravel their nature, such as language and body. However, the members of this research cast their eyes just on the obstacles, thus, not allowing the comprehension of a person's potential with intellectual disabilities. In this sense, we sought to examine the limits of using standardized tests that pervade human beings’ lives because as they regulate the subjects, therefore it set labels that will follow them during they lifetime. It looks for identify an assessment that highlights the potential and not only the restrictions of being, contemplating the history of life, the subject's uniqueness, perceiving the human being in its spread and complexity.
