Inclusão de alunos com deficiência sob perspectiva da gestão educacional: contribuições do serviço social

Abstract

The central objective of this study consists in the analysis of the educational management strategies for the inclusion of students with special educational needs in the Jesuit Education Network Schools from the South region of Brazil. Considering knowing how managers think the inclusive education, how the current management processes are structured and what are the limits, possibilities and receptivity of these institutions for the inclusion of students with disabilities, these are necessary elements to think about work strategies in a collective way towards the inclusion. The research is qualitative with a methodological approach of multiple case studies, presents quantitative data extracted from the analysis of the data of the School Census of 2016 and 2017. The data collection is composed of three research strategies: interview, discussion in groups/round of conversation and collection of documents. The interviews and groups/round of conversation were developed with 14 managers of the Coordination areas and the three levels of Direction of the Colleges surveyed, the definition to this public was due to the importance of them in the formative and enabling role of the inclusion of people with disabilities in the institutions researched. The collection of documents complements the methodological approach in order to make the information accessible and to bring the researcher closer to the already systematized processes of inclusion within the institutions. The results show institutions very concerned about the inclusion of students with special educational needs and mobilized to attend this reality with quality, but with many uncertainties of how to respond the demands of inclusion and to make this reality be assumed as an institutional culture by the educational community. Looking at the results of the research, training comes as an essential element in the construction of a more inclusive culture, strengthened as an educational management project capable of organizing the processes and build a more humanized vision of inclusive education; these elements subsidize the intervention proposal. Finally, the Social Work with its contributions in this research brings the importance of reflecting on the role of education in the lives of students with disabilities, who need institutions committed to their rights and provide a better education through living and development.
