Abstract

The new information technology and communication have been considered important tools to improve the teaching-learning process and the innovation of educational practices. The learning objects may contribute to make the educational process more contextualized, playful and interactive, what can help to understand the content covered by these studies, and contribute as well for learning. Thus, this research aimed investigating the use of learning objects as a support system to students with disabilities in the literacy process in the first year of primary education at a public school. The investigation sought to verify how the use of the proposed technological resource, with an appropriate educational proposal, may assist the students to overcome the learning difficulties identified in the process of literacy. This way, through this research-action, the learning objects were used, during the computing classes, individually and in a differentiated way, with a seven-years-old group of children with educational disabilities, for three months. The learning objects were installed in 4 tablets and they were used collectively by the students monitored and coordinated by the researcher. The analysis of data collected during the process showed that, although the implementation period of the proposal had been only for three months, all the students achieved qualitative gains in the literacy process. Between the positive results, specific mention can be made on the students increasing motivation when doing complementary activities; phonological awareness development; the increasing confidence, what reflected positively on facing learning challenges; and finally, the progress of the students in the literacy level assessments provided by the school. The personal attention of the researcher to the students was also a significant element, which contributed to the progress noted. (AU)
