PRÁTICAS DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA COMO FERRAMENTA DE INCLUSÃO

Abstract

The present research aims to find out how the work of the Physical Education teacher has contributed to the inclusive development of students who have special educational needs. A bibliographical research was done around the term Inclusion and Physical Education. To support bibliographical, descriptive and qualitative research, we sought theorists such as Rodrigues (2006), Alarcão (2003), Fonseca (2005), among others. After exhaustive readings, reflections on the theme, in spite of the growing recognition of inclusive education in Physical Education classes, as a priority way to attend students with special educational needs, in practice, there is a progress grounded in the efforts of each educator, who seeks in his / her work space to make the inclusion process, either by adapted activities, by the techniques and methodologies inserted in the context. However, they face obstacles and difficulties that refer to the lack of material resources, causing with this, a great discomfort among teachers. Inclusion must be understood from the understanding that everyone must embrace the cause, schools must be restructured so that teachers are able to be empowered to serve all students equally.
