A Technological Tool Applied in a Systematic Literature Review: Learning Mathematical Concepts by Students with Intellectual Disabilities

This paper presents the results of a systematic literature review developed as part of a doctoral research project in Science and Mathematics Education. It aims to profile national and international research using a technological tool called “Buscad“ to map work related to the learning of mathematical concepts by students with intellectual disabilities. It is qualitative in nature, highlighting contributions to the field of inclusive mathematics education, and takes as its theoretical and methodological assumptions the systematic review of literature related to the perspective of inclusive mathematics education. The research was carried out using search terms directly in the following databases: CAPES Theses and Dissertations Catalog (T&D); Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD); CAPES Periodicals Portal; Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO); International Publisher Science, Technology, Medicine (SPRINGER); Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ); Scopus; Web of Science; Science Direct; and Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC). The results point to opportunities for dialogue between Brazilian and international research, along with the need to articulate the refinement of diversified resources and instructional materials with the improvement of methodological processes along with socio-cultural discussions on inclusion and valuing diversity.
