Este estudo tem por objeto as Representações Sociais de egressos do curso de Licenciatura em Biologia do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Pará – IFPA acerca de sua formação docente na perspectiva da inclusão escolar de alunos com deficiências. A problemática se orientou com foco nas representações sociais anunciadas pelos professores sobre sua formação para a inclusão. O Objetivo principal do estudo foi Analisar o processo de construção das Representações Sociais de egressos de licenciaturas do IFPA sobre sua formação docente com vistas à inclusão. A Metodologia seguiu a abordagem qualitativa – descritiva – interpretativa – analítica com a intenção de ouvir o que esses professores têm a dizer sobre a inclusão de alunos especiais, assim como essas representações se constroem e qual o reflexo delas na ação do indivíduo. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo e teve como finalidade aprofundar nosso conhecimento sobre o assunto estudado. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram 10 professores egressos oriundos do campo das ciências naturais que aceitaram participar desse estudo. Os dados da pesquisa foram coletados por meio do questionário para a realização do levantamento socioeconômico, da entrevista na modalidade semi-estruturada com a intenção de apreender os discursos verbais dos professores que foram tomados como a fonte reveladora das representações sociais; e Técnica da Associação Livre de Palavras que teve como objetivo destacar imagens relevantes das possíveis representações dos docentes. Para a compreensão dos dados foi utilizada a técnica de análise de conteúdo categorial na perspectiva de Bardin. Ao analisarmos os dados que os sujeitos entrevistados apresentaram considerando as unidades de sentido sobre determinados aspectos que permeiam a Formação Docente e Educação Inclusiva, destacamos questões dialéticas como as relações entre inclusão e exclusão, afetividade e conhecimento, teoria e prática, assim como apontamentos conflitantes que sinalizam determinadas angústias profissionais. Desta forma os resultados mostram que as representações dos professores acerca do objeto de estudo apresentam-se de forma variada, revelando a necessidade de redimensionamento de ações pedagógicas, profissionais e estruturais e estão aliadas às crenças, às convenções e à tradição que ao longo da história e da cultura educacional vem reforçando a imagem do aluno com necessidades educacionais especiais, associada à concepção de deficiência e de aluno que foge ao modelo estabelecido pela sociedade. A pesquisa ainda revela representações sociais que permeiam as construções psicossociais sobre formação e Educação Inclusiva, indicando que entre os valores e os conhecimentos priorizados para pensar e, conseqüentemente agir estão fortemente vinculados aceitação das diferenças a partir de ações solitárias, ou seja, de um protagonismo individual.

Neuropsicologia e Educação

Admite-se que o desenvolvimento do cérebro e da vida psiquica constituem um fenômeno, ao mesmo tempo, biológico e social. Atualmente, o estudo deste processo envolve a participação da Neuropsicologia e da Educação. Embora ambas as áreas do conhecimento sejam distintas na formulação dos princípios e métodos de investigação, elas possuem, como ponto comum, a implementação das funções cognitivas. Neste trabalho, discutimos as relações entre ambas e procuramos analisar algumas implicações neuropsicológicas, particularmente, para a Educação especial.
