O presente projeto teve como principal objetivo a elaboração e construção de
um programa de estimulação de competências emocionais para crianças com
incapacidade intelectual. O programa tem a particularidade de estar a ser
desenvolvido para dispositivos móveis, através do desenvolvimento de uma aplicação
(app), uma vez que as novas tecnologias tendem a tornar as aprendizagens mais
motivadoras e significativas, bem como as sessões terapêuticas mais atraentes e
inovadoras, para além de estimularem o desenvolvimento da autoconfiança,
autoestima e autonomia das crianças.
De acordo com Bermejo (2006), existe uma grande tendência para se deixar
para segundo plano ou até mesmo descurar as emoções e o ensino de formas
socialmente adequadas para a expressão das mesmas destas crianças, ora porque se
tem como premissa que são imunes às emoções dado o seu défice intelectual, ora
porque as inadequadas expressões das emoções são vistas como parte do défice.
Desta forma, o programa elaborado teve em consideração as componentes
convergentes dos modelos de competências emocionais de Mayer e Salovey (1995),
Goleman (2010) e Moreira (2009) e tem como pretensão promover o desenvolvimento
e/ou aquisição das seguintes competências: desenvolvimento de vocabulário
emocional; identificação e reconhecimento das próprias emoções; aquisição da
linguagem verbal e não-verbal como meio de expressão emocional; reconhecimento
das emoções nos outros; e gestão de relacionamentos.
Tendo em consideração que a aplicação móvel, recurso através do qual o
programa de estimulação emocional chegará às crianças, ainda se encontra na
primeira fase de vida de um software (versão alfa), surgiu a necessidade de se avaliar
a usabilidade da mesma, através da avaliação heurística (Nielson, 1995) com as
crianças (sem e com incapacidade intelectual) no papel de especialistas, bem como
através do método da verbalização do pensamento e observação direta. As
conclusões preliminares são indicativas de que a aplicação móvel necessita de várias
reformulações em termos da estrutura da interface, para que se torne, cada vez mais
acessível às crianças que vão interagir com a mesma.
The main objective of this project was the elaboration and construction of a program to stimulate emotional competences for children with intellectual disabilities. The program has the particularity of being developed for mobile devices through the development of an application (app), since the new technologies tend to make learning more motivating and meaningful, as well as the most attractive and innovative therapeutic sessions, in addition to stimulating the development of children's self-confidence, self-esteem and autonomy. According to Bermejo (2006), there is a great tendency to leave to the background or even to neglect the emotions and the teaching of socially adequate forms for the expression of the same ones of these children, or because one assumes that they are immune to the emotions given their intellectual deficit, or because the inadequate expressions of emotions are seen as part of the deficit. In this way, the developed program took into account the convergent components of the emotional competency models of Mayer and Salovey (1995), Goleman (2010) and Moreira (2009) and aims to promote the development and/or acquisition of the following competencies: development emotional vocabulary; identification and recognition of one's own emotions; acquisition of verbal and non-verbal language as a means of emotional expression; recognition of emotions in others; and relationship management. Considering that the mobile application, an application through which the emotional stimulation program will reach the children, is still in the first phase of life of a software (alpha version), the need to evaluate the usability of the software has appeared. heuristic evaluation (Nielson, 1995) with children (without and with intellectual disability) in the role of specialists, as well as through the method of verbalization of thought and direct observation. The preliminary conclusions are indicative that the mobile application needs several reformulations in terms of the interface structure, so that it becomes increasingly accessible to children who will interact with it.
