Contemporaneity indicates the need to promote innovative and relevant technological support
to improve conditions of autonomy and independence of students with sensory, intellectual
and motor deprivations. Therefore, the researcher aims to investigate how assistive
technology can facilitate the research process of music students with sensory, intellectual and
motor deprivations. This objective unfolds specifically in two, which are: a) Create a
prototype as a strategic visualization tool of the research movement to assist music students
with sensory, intellectual and motor deprivations in the development of a research project; b)
Test and evaluate the strategic visualization technology of the research movement to assist
music students with sensory, intellectual and motor deprivations in the development of
research project. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, the Bibliographical Research
and the Experimental Research were adopted. The Experimental are the procedures for the
creation, testing and evaluations of the prototype device. A pilot project was carried out - with
students of the Specialization Course in High School of Music of the Federal University of
Pará, as well as there was an intervention with undergraduate students in Full Degree in
Music at the State University of Pará and the Federal University of Pará. The participants
were students with sensory, intellectual and/or motor deprivation and without deprivation.
The application of the Tests focused on the use of the strategic visualization tool of the
MOVE research movement for the construction of the research project by the participants.
The tests took place in six meetings and the evaluation proceeded in two ways: (a) the first
was by the participating students who answered a questionnaire using the 10-point likert
scale, presenting three justifications and suggestions to evaluate the functionality of the
device; (b) and the second was the evaluation of peer-reviewed research projects by
independent judges who followed the scale for evaluation of academic projects, notably on
the scale from 0 to 10 for each item evaluated. The collected data were quantitatively
analyzed, and their representations were expressed by tables and graphs, which were
compared with documentary analysis and served as visual support to project the results and
raise reflections and contributions. In general, it can be seen from the answers that more than
85% of the participants totally agree with the music research facilitator for students with
sensory, intellectual and/or motor deprivations. The study revealed the fundamental
importance of the multidisciplinary team to obtain efficient results. It was observed that the
facilitation promoted by the MOVE tool was usually related to the difficulty presented in the
profile of each student. The research confirmed that the MOVE tool does not exclude the need
for a counselor, but offers autonomy and independence for the student to organize their ideas
in order to maintain coherence and not escape the theme.
