Abstract

The continuous training of the teacher to teach children with autism has several possibilities of occurring in practice. The reflection on the action opens doors for the reconstruction of planning, exchange of experiences, and  knowledge sharing. Following this approach, this work aims to understand how to develop pedagogical plans, carried out collaboratively and reflectively, that favor the processes of (re)constructing proposals that contribute to overcoming the challenges of teaching Science to children with autism in the early years. The analyses were carried out based on the records of modifications to the initial planning of the proposed activity. The results also indicate the understanding on pedagogical action and collaborative work between the trainer and the participating teacher in the training enable better quality in the organization of plans and in the construction of knowledge for all involved. The results also provides an understanding that working collaboratively enable knowing oneself and others, as each professional, contributing in their area, helps in the construction of an ominilateral vision of Science teaching for students with autism.
