PSYCHOPEDAGOGICAL WORKSHOPS: FROM LITERACY TO LITERACY, AN INTERDISCIPLINARY PROPOSAL DEVELOPED FOR CHILDREN IN SPECIAL CLASSES

Abstract

This article, "Psychopedagogical Workshops: From Literacy to Literacy, an Interdisciplinary Proposal Developed for Special Education Children," aimed to develop new pedagogical approaches for Special Education students, fostering a new space for learning while respecting each student's individual limits and capabilities. The pedagogical approaches helped students identify knowledge as a means to understand and transform the world around them, recognizing the nature of intellectual play as an aspect that stimulated interest, curiosity, a spirit of inquiry, and the development of problem-solving skills through experiencing spatial and temporal relationships. Furthermore, it provided students with the opportunity for full playful development, a joyful, enjoyable, and interactive experience, facilitating their learning process. It was through play that students developed a love for classes, and what they learned will remain a lasting memory. The playful activity favored the learning process, as it allowed for a variety of exercises that required careful execution. Experiencing the workshop was like touching the magical world of creation and play, a space where the simplest gesture presented itself as an expression of the soul of a self, with the joy of simply being able to create, conquer, value, and express oneself.
