Abstract

The theme "Inclusive Education", despite often being present in discussions and research in academia, still presents itself as an important subject of investigation. The importance of these investigations increases as growing concerns about the education professionals include work toward inclusion. In this perspective this research has the following objectives: To investigate the knowledge of professionals from kindergarten related to working with students with special needs in regular classes in Early Childhood Education, and reflect on the social inclusion from the perspective of human rights and the concept of citizenship based on Inclusive Education; Reflect on the importance of Inclusive Education in education and society as a whole; analyze what teachers from kindergarten know and think about working with inclusive education; Analyze the positioning of teachers in Early Childhood Education on the impact of the inclusion process in everyday school. For this, we rely on such studies as Montoan (2003), which addresses the specialized educational services. Also we bring in the studies by Warschauer (2006), Demo (1984), Carvalho (2004), Blanco (1998), Mittler (2003), Vygotsky (1998), Facion (2003) Hemminingson and Borell (2002), Mazotta (1996). This is a descriptive qualitative study conducted through a questionnaire in a kindergarten and a school, both located in the town of Malta-PB. The corpus was composed of eight teachers working in public schools and kindergartens. We found that the teachers surveyed did not have an exact understanding of the size of the inclusive model, even though at some points they approach than has been debated by experts. So even bring in his speech many prejudices that are present in our society related to inclusive education, for example, to include only provide a differentiated service, or even equal. Therefore, given the results, it is concluded that educators have a reasonable knowledge about inclusive education, one of the biggest problems on the principles and practices of inclusion.
