Resumo

Este projeto de pesquisa tem como objetivo responder às seguintes perguntas: (1) quais experiências os alunos com deficiência intelectual (DI) relatam após participar de uma educação baseada no diálogo filosófico?; e (2) como essas experiências se relacionam com as necessidades dos alunos com DI? Para responder a essas questões, foi realizado um estudo de entrevistas com doze alunos, com idades entre 13 e 15 anos, com deficiência intelectual predominantemente leve, matriculados na Escola de Ensino Fundamental Sueca para Alunos com Deficiência Intelectual. Os alunos participaram de um programa de intervenção em pequena escala, composto por doze sessões de diálogos filosóficos ao longo de seis semanas, conduzidas por dois facilitadores experientes. Ao final do programa, as crianças participaram de entrevistas semiestruturadas para compartilhar suas experiências com os diálogos filosóficos. As respostas a essas entrevistas foram analisadas em relação às necessidades identificadas de alunos com DI, especificamente a necessidade de atividades cognitivamente estimulantes, de habilidades sociais e de comunicação, e de habilidades para a tomada de decisões. A análise temática dos dados revelou os seguintes temas: encontrar-se, conhecer e crescer e divertir-se. Os resultados indicam que o diálogo filosófico apresenta potencial para atender às necessidades identificadas de alunos com DI. Destaca-se, de forma especial, o papel do humor nas experiências das crianças durante os diálogos filosóficos.
