Los objetivos de este estudio son identificar los conflictos y conocer la frecuencia con que se dan en el alumnado con discapacidad intelectual y en el alumnado con discapacidad física en las clases de educación física (EF). Para ello, se ha entrevistado al profesorado de centros públicos (n = 43) de Enseñanza Secundaria con una edad media (M) de 44,84 años y con una desviación estándar (DE) de 7,72. Todos los participantes tenían experiencia ante alumnado con discapacidad, ya que la población escogida es profesorado de los centros con Unidad de Soporte a la Educación Especial (USEE) de Barcelona y comarcas. El instrumento de obtención de datos es un cuestionario, con el que identificar los conflictos del alumnado con discapacidad en relación con diferentes variables (profesorado, compañeros, alumnado con discapacidad, recursos materiales y recursos didácticos). Los resultados indican que apenas se dan conflictos y cuando se dan son con muy poca frecuencia. Por otra parte, las estrategias didácticas más utilizadas por los docentes de este alumnado son las adaptaciones curriculares, tres de cada cinco docentes adaptan el currículum. Las adaptaciones curriculares se realizan con más frecuencia sobre el alumnado con discapacidad física.Abstract. The aims of this study are to identify conflicts and determine the frequency with which they involve students with disabilities during physical education classes (EF). A sample of 43 public high school teachers (age = 44.84; SD = 7.718) were interviewed. All teachers included had experience with students with disabilities, and were selected from Support to Special Education Unit centers of Barcelona urban areas. The data collection instrument is a questionnaire to identify conflicts of students with disabilities in relation to different variables (teacher, peers, students with disabilities, teaching resources, teaching materials and resources). Teachers’ responses indicate that conflicts occur infrequently. Moreover, teachers’ most used teaching strategies and methodologies are curricular adaptations. These are mostly applied to physically disabled students.
Following on from the studies by McManus and Cornish [(1997). Fractionating handedness in mental retardation: What is the role of the cerebellum? Laterality, 2(2), 81-89] and Cornish, Pigram, and Shaw [(1997). Do anomalies of handedness exist in children with fragile-X syndrome? Laterality, 2(2), 91-101], the aim of this paper was to determine laterality in people with fragile X syndrome (FXS). The sample comprised three study groups: the first with 30 people with FXS (mean age 17.9 years), the second 34 people with various intellectual disabilities (ID, mean age 20.9 years), and the third 160 people with typical development (mean age 14.7 years). Laterality was assessed with a test adapted for this study. The results confirm the preponderance of right-handedness (93.3%) in people with FXS and present new data regarding footedness and sensory dominance (eyedness and earedness), indicating inconsistent footedness and ocular cross-dominance. Almost three-quarters (73.5%) of people with other ID were right-handed. The results corroborate those of McManus and Cornish (1997). People with FXS tend to be right-handed but have ocular cross-dominance.
Résumé Nous proposons quelques réflexions sur les bénéfices que peut apporter la danse aux niveaux physique, psychologique, cognitif et social à une population de jeunes handicapés intellectuels. Nous mettons en évidence l’importance du travail corporel de façon globale et de façon analytique en respectant les caractéristiques de chaque type de handicap. Nous analysons la danse en tant que méthodologie, technique adaptée, pour un apprentissage et une formation qui peut ouvrir des voies de normalisation, en insistant sur les diverses possibilités de canaliser les bénéfices tout en respectant la différence.
