MOVE: um facilitador da pesquisa em música para estudantes com privações sensoriais, intelectuais e motoras

Abstract

Contemporaneity indicates the need to promote innovative and relevant technological support to improve conditions of autonomy and independence of students with sensory, intellectual and motor deprivations. Therefore, the researcher aims to investigate how assistive technology can facilitate the research process of music students with sensory, intellectual and motor deprivations. This objective unfolds specifically in two, which are: a) Create a prototype as a strategic visualization tool of the research movement to assist music students with sensory, intellectual and motor deprivations in the development of a research project; b) Test and evaluate the strategic visualization technology of the research movement to assist music students with sensory, intellectual and motor deprivations in the development of research project. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, the Bibliographical Research and the Experimental Research were adopted. The Experimental are the procedures for the creation, testing and evaluations of the prototype device. A pilot project was carried out - with students of the Specialization Course in High School of Music of the Federal University of Pará, as well as there was an intervention with undergraduate students in Full Degree in Music at the State University of Pará and the Federal University of Pará. The participants were students with sensory, intellectual and/or motor deprivation and without deprivation. The application of the Tests focused on the use of the strategic visualization tool of the MOVE research movement for the construction of the research project by the participants. The tests took place in six meetings and the evaluation proceeded in two ways: (a) the first was by the participating students who answered a questionnaire using the 10-point likert scale, presenting three justifications and suggestions to evaluate the functionality of the device; (b) and the second was the evaluation of peer-reviewed research projects by independent judges who followed the scale for evaluation of academic projects, notably on the scale from 0 to 10 for each item evaluated. The collected data were quantitatively analyzed, and their representations were expressed by tables and graphs, which were compared with documentary analysis and served as visual support to project the results and raise reflections and contributions. In general, it can be seen from the answers that more than 85% of the participants totally agree with the music research facilitator for students with sensory, intellectual and/or motor deprivations. The study revealed the fundamental importance of the multidisciplinary team to obtain efficient results. It was observed that the facilitation promoted by the MOVE tool was usually related to the difficulty presented in the profile of each student. The research confirmed that the MOVE tool does not exclude the need for a counselor, but offers autonomy and independence for the student to organize their ideas in order to maintain coherence and not escape the theme.
