Abstract

The present dissertation is developed within the scope of the master's degree of Federal University of Juiz de Fora. The present case of management intends to research and discuss how the factors, mainly intra-school, contribute to the construction of learning environments conducive to inclusion, from the perspective of forming an inclusive, welcoming and fair society. Starting from the reception and attendance to the students with special educational needs and to the disabled and their families, in range of Escola Estadual Adalgisa de Paula Duque of Lima Duarte/MG, we intend to present a current overview of the inclusion policy. The general objective is to propose pedagogical actions in order to make possible and necessary interventions for the difficulties raised, valuing and improving existing positive practices. To that end, we will identify how inclusive education is developed and how it happens in the researched school, understanding the factors, that influence this process. From the reception, first contact of students with the school and gateway to the inclusion process and consequently to the learning process, we will follow the development of inclusive actions. We assume as hypothesis that the school tries to practice the premises of an inclusive education and presents some evidence in this sense. To do so, we use as methodology: the data collection of the school census, together with the Ministry of Education, as well as the Minas Gerais School Administration System (Simade) of the State Secretariat of Education of Minas Gerais and the field research with the objective of analyze the culture of inclusion in the school in focus, aiming also to verify the implementation of inclusive education policies, relating the practices performed in the institution. Through interviews with school users and servers and in the daily observations of the school, using as a methodological technique the "Focus Group" and as instruments to support inclusion will also be presented materials developed, created, produced and made in the School itself. Following part of the guidelines of the "Index for Inclusion" material Booth and Ainscow (2011), we will present the analysis of the opinion of people in the School Community, about how inclusion is happening at Escola Estadual Adalgisa de Paula Duque.
