Formação docente para atuação em uma perspectiva inclusiva: percepções de professoras

Abstract

The process of inclusion in the school context of students who are the target audience of Special Education has been happening gradually. However, it is clear that it is still necessary to promote significant improvements in terms of entry, permanence and promotion of the teaching-learning process of these students. In this sense, it is of fundamental importance to reflect on the training of teachers who work in regular education classrooms. It is important to understand that not only the Specialized Educational Service teacher needs to have knowledge to work with the target audience of Special Education students, but also the teachers of the common classes. In this way, this work of Completion of the Licentiate Degree in Pedagogy aimed to analyze the perception of teachers of Early Childhood Education and the initial series of Elementary School regarding the difficulties of training to work with students target audience of Special Education in a perspective inclusive. This research had a qualitative approach, carried out from a descriptive field research, developed in a municipal school that is located in the rural area of the municipality of Cruz do Espírito Santo, in the state of Paraíba. For data collection, a questionnaire containing fourteen questions was applied to ten teachers who made up the teaching staff of the school institution and who work in Early Childhood Education and the initial grades of Elementary School. After data collection, the questionnaires were read and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that the teachers who worked in the common classes of the school did not feel prepared to work with students who were the target audience of Special Education. The absence of training in the area of Special Education stands out, which arouses a feeling of frustration in the teachers for not feeling confident in properly promoting the learning process of all students. Therefore, this work allows us to reflect on the importance of training teachers who work in the regular education system, in order to enable them to work with safety and understanding with the target audience of Special Education students.
