A política de educação especial no contexto da educação integral na Paraíba

Abstract

This Course Completion Work (TCC) has as research object the educational policy of Special Education of Integral Citizen Schools in Paraíba. The investigation sought to answer the following question: How is the Special Education policy structured in the educational model of the Integral Citizen School? The general objective is to analyze the Special Education policy of Integral Citizen Schools in Paraíba. The specific objectives that outlined the structure of this work were organized as follows: a) Establish an analytical overview of educational policies for Special Education in Brazil. b) Understand the theoretical-methodological assumptions that support the discussion of Special Education target audience students in the educational policy of Integral Citizen Schools. To base the data analysis, we supported the studies of Sassaki (2008), Bota and Ainscow (2002) and Rodrigues (2006). Methodologically, we used qualitative and documentary research, using the School Census — Inep/MEC (2022), the State Education Plan of Paraíba (2015-2025) and the Operational Guidelines of the Schools of the State Education Network of Paraíba, relying on the content analysis method (BARDIN, 2011). At the end of the research, it appears that there was an expansion of these full-time schools in all stages, but with very different trajectories, especially in Paraíba, which is one of the states that has more full-time schools compared to other states. In this way, we noticed that there was an increase in the number of enrollments of Special Education students throughout the teaching stages in regular schools. As for high school, we noticed a greater exclusion and difficulty regarding access, permanence and success of this public, with regard to Specialized Educational Assistance, evidencing the lack of effective public policies in that stage of education. At the end of this study, it is expected that it will only be reflective work, and that it will encourage new practices, research and perspectives regarding inclusion.
