Resumo
A construção de uma escola inclusiva implica a intervenção de diversos
atores. No que respeita à inclusão do aluno com necessidades educativas
especiais, trata-se de um processo visto, muitas vezes, como sendo da
responsabilidade exclusiva do professor de Educação Especial. Ora, este
estudo visa justamente aferir o papel do professor de Educação Especial neste
contexto, tendo em conta as seguintes dimensões: (i) como é atualmente
realizado o trabalho do professor de EE nas escolas; (ii) como é organizado o
trabalho relacionado com a EE (iii) e, finalmente, qual a opinião dos
profissionais sobre a atual legislação relacionada com a EE.
Do ponto de vista metodológico, optou-se uma abordagem de natureza
qualitativa, tendo sido utilizado como técnica de recolha de dados o inquérito
por entrevista semiestruturada. O estudo desenvolveu-se em sete
agrupamentos de escolas da zona Entre o Douro e Vouga, envolvendo dez
professores (n=10) especializados em Educação Especial.
Os principais resultados apontam para o facto de os professores de
Educação Especial identificarem vários constrangimentos: a falta de recursos,
a não elegibilidade para apoio de alunos com problemáticas como a
perturbação por hiperatividade e défice de atenção, a falta de articulação entre
os professores de Educação Especial e os do ensino regular e a preocupação
demasiado quantitativa da Escola e da Direção dos Agrupamentos. De um
modo geral, o papel de apoio do professor de Educação Especial é, muitas
vezes, dirigido unicamente ao aluno, faltando articulação com os professores
do ensino regular para que desenvolvam práticas inclusivas de todos os
alunos, tendo em vista o sucesso global.
The construction of an inclusive school implies the intervention of several agents. Concerning the inclusion of students with special educational needs, it is a process that is seen many times as an exclusive responsibility of the Special Teacher. Hence, this study precisely aims to assess the role of the Special Teacher in this context, considering the following dimensions: (i) how the work of the Special Teacher is currently done at schools; (ii) how the work related to Special Needs Education is organised (iii) and, finally, the professionals’ opinion on the current legislation related to Special Needs Education. From a methodological point of view, it was chosen a qualitative approach and the data collection method used was the semi-structured interview questionnaire. This study was developed in seven schools, in the geographic area between Douro and Vouga, involving ten teachers (n=10) specialised in Special Needs Education. The main results point to the fact that Special Teachers identify several constraints: the lack of resources, the non-eligibility for support of students with problems such as the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, the lack of articulation between Special and mainstream teachers, the School’s emphasis on the quantitative concern and the school’s Leadership. In general, the support role of the Special Teacher is often solely directed at the student, lacking articulation with mainstream teachers to develop inclusive practices of all students, with a view to their overall success and not just academic success.
