PROMOVENDO DESENVOLVIMENTO E CONSCIENTIZAÇÃO AMBIENTAL EM CRIANÇAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA: UMA ABORDAGEM COM EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA ADAPTADA E LÓGICA FUZZY

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a fuzzy logic model to assess the impact of interventions in Adapted Physical Education and Environmental Education on the development of children with disabilities, covering physical, cognitive, and environmental awareness aspects. The research sought to transcend conventional evaluation approaches by implementing scenario simulations that mimic real conditions and incorporating variables such as motor coordination and understanding of environmental concepts. The interventions were evaluated using fuzzy rules to measure the impacts on various dimensions of development. Although the model was not applied in a practical context with children, validation tests suggest its future applicability in practical studies. The results indicate that integrated and balanced interventions can effectively improve both physical and cognitive development. The use of fuzzy logic proved to be a robust tool for detailed progress assessment, indicating that the developed model can significantly contribute to inclusive pedagogical practices and guide educational policies aimed at the needs of children with disabilities, reinforcing the importance of sustainability in environmental education.
