A perspectiva das crianças sobre a política de educação inclusiva: discursos e práticas cotidianas em uma escola particular do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The present work has as object of study the perspective of the children on the policy of Inclusive Education, developed in the routine of Elementary School I of a private school in Rio de Janeiro. Among managers, teachers, employees, families and other relevant actors in the inclusion process, the work gave visibility to children's perspective, considering that inclusion policies are not strictly aimed at children with disabilities, but at the broadly diverse set of students involved in the educational environment. The cut adopted aims to bring to light the set of knowledge that students have been building about inclusion in the day to day school. What do these children have to say about inclusive education? To what extent do they clearly understand the actions of the school for this purpose? In what way is inclusive education experienced by them? In order to elucidate these questions, the research with the children was developed from workshops based on the methodologies of the Focal Group and the Theater of the Oppressed. The study also conducted an interview with the school board, in order to construct a panoramic view of the current actions taken by the institution. It was considered that, being a case study and starting from the specific reality of the school researched, the project contributes to broader discussions about inclusion. It considers that the perspective of these children is fundamental for a vision about how the implementation of the inclusion policy has been developed within the school routine, highlighting the points of tension, advances and / or limitations of this process. It is also believed that, from this perspective, the relevance of the research and the conclusions of the study can contribute to the development of new pedagogical actions dedicated to the theme of diversity.
