Pedagogical mediation in inclusive education: the computer laboratory in the municipality of senhor do Bonfim, Bahia, Brazil

This article aimed to analyze the teachers' practices regarding the mediation of teaching for students with specific needs in inclusive school computer laboratories in the region of Senhor do Bonfim-BA. With this goal, we seek to highlight the challenges or solutions that permeate the dynamics of teachers' classes that use computer technology in some classes. In order to increase the understanding of this context, the case study was chosen as the type of investigative method in the qualitative scope. Also, to emphasize this social theme and the use of the computer in the computer lab, we had as base the qualitative research, using the structured interview, with contribution in the open questionnaire and the non-participant observation. Participants contributed data that shows how teachers use computer science to make their classes more engaging and interdisciplinary. With the observation, we verified the personal effort of teachers in mediating the content for their students. We conclude that the provision of continuing education is part of the requests of teachers and that the use of computer technology in the laboratories favors accessibility and learning.
