Self-perception of students with intellectual deficiency regarding different space-time at school

Abstract

Study case with ethnographic approaches, aiming at knowing and analyzing the self-perception of three students with intellectual deficiency at different space-time in school, focusing on Physical Education. The instruments were based on interviews, observations and field diary. The results indicate a negative self-perception of the focus subjects, mainly when it is associated to the teaching/learning processes experienced at the different space-time, including Physical Education. However, the participation in a Project titled "A Trupe do Palhaço Caramelo" (Caramelo Clown Troupe) worked positively in the symbolization/perception ways of the ones involved, since they left the figuration condition previously lived to experiment the main role of their respective life stories.
