THE INFLUENCE OF STORY MODELING ON THE INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF MENTALLY HANDICAPPED PERSONS: story modeling and mental disability. Revista Teias [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.66, pp.180-195.

The stimulation of the intellectual development of the mentally handicapped is an important demand that society poses to the school; however, it is still a pending task, due to the reproductive character that persists in many educational institutions. The article aims to explain the influence of story modeling in the development of the intellect of these schoolchildren; a research was carried out in which different theoretical methods were used that made possible the interpretation of the investigated subject, as well as empirical methods such as pedagogical pre-experiment, observation, the study of the products of the pedagogical process and psychological tests. It was found in the pedagogical practice that the influence of story modeling contributed significantly to the development of thinking, cognitive independence and motivation for learning.
