Inclusão e deficiência: em busca das representações sociais na mídia impressa em Natal/RN

This thesis is the result of an extensive research on print media discourse on the inclusion of disabled people in society. Articles published in the newspapers Diário de Natal/O Poti and Tribuna do Norte from 1992 to 2002 have been analyzed. Beginning with the very same questions that moved Moscovici (1978) in his classic study La Psychalyse son image et son public , according to which the media play a predominant role in the formation and propagation of social representations as well as in the construction of human behaviors, we have chosen this mass media as our investigation field. Understanding the importance of the communication theory, we intend to associate it to the social representation theory, since communication, as an aspiration, relates to the fundamentals of all humanity (WOLTON, 2004, p. 56). Moreover, means of communication represent an important space for symbolic production and representational process, allowing the analysis of the circulating discourses on social inclusion and disability. Based on these questions, we have determined social representations present in print media on the subject to be our study object. This objective was elected due to the fact that the thematic of disability and inclusion is scarcely and sporadically found in journalistic speech. The research questions have been: which is the representation of disabled people s condition in print media? What changes have occurred during the analyzed period and which was the role played by print media in this process? The research corpus was composed of newspaper articles about various aspects concerning disability and of free word association by reporters. We have analysed: 1) graphical language promoted by the picture of the substances propagated in the period from 1992 a 2002; 2) free word association experiments carried out with reporters of both newspapers; and 3) texts published from 1996 to 1997 using the high-tech program ALCESTE (Contextual Lexical Analysis of a Set of Segments of Texts). The results revealed that the print media in Natal/RN refer to the topic in a discontinuous way, and depend on specific events to highlight disabled people s fight for their rights. Social inclusion is still a great challenge for these people in all levels. We believe that this incapacity to overcome all kinds of obstacles is established in a dialectic relation between society and the media: society remains silent (the manifestation of interest for the cause only attracts some people s or groups attention) and the media, which selects which information is to be broadcasted, gives no evidence to the issue. This representation may be noticed in the infrequency in which articles about the subject are published, as well as in the emphasis to sports, a more important issue for the media. An implication of this study is that a new perspective is opened for analysis and reflection: the Paralympics games as both an inclusive and a segregating social phenomenon. It would be beautiful to have all of us together!

Preparação e caracterização inicial de complexo de inclusão entre nitrofurazona e 2-hidroxipropil-β-ciclodextrina

Nitrofurazone (NF), 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde semicarbazone, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, has reported toxic effects and low solubility in water. It would be of great interest to form inclusion complexes between NF and a cyclodextrin, to develop more effective and safer antibiotic formulations. This paper focuses on the preparation of inclusion complexes of NF with 2-hydroxypropyl-β- cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and their initial characterization by evaluating rates of complex formation, photostability, solubility isotherms, release rate profiles, stoichiometry of the complexes and their morphology, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy. The kinetic tests of complex formation revealed that 17,3 h is enough for stabilization of the NF-cyclodextrin complex. The solubility isotherm studies showed that the isotherm changes from type A to type B, as a function of temperature. The photostability experiments showed that the insertion of the NF in the HP-β-CD cavity protects the drug from photodecomposition. The release kinetic tests showed that the profile of NF release from the complex is altered by the presence of HP-β-CD in the medium. A Job's plot indicated that the stoichiometry of the complex was 1:1 NF:HP-β-CD. The scanning electron micrographs showed changes in the crystal structure of NF in the complex. This study focused on the physicochemical properties of drug-delivery formulations that could potentially be developed into a novel type of therapy with NF.

Inclusão, exclusão e cidadania como desafio para a política em regiões de modernidade periférica

No Brasil pode-se observar que no discurso político a exclusão social ganha cada vez mais destaque. A atuação política nesse campo é altamente destinada à criação de legitimidade para o próprio sistema social. Dentro do processo da geração de legitimidade o sistema político requer cada vez mais responsabilidades para si, não obstante, sem poder lograr sua efetiva implementação. Pode-se ilustrar esse fato através do confronto entre ampliação semântica do conceito de cidadania e a realidade empírica das violações dos direitos humanos no Estado do Pará com enfoque nas ações direcionadas à cidadania e às pessoas com deficiência. Portanto, a intervenção do poder público não foi capaz de conter o processo de exclusão múltipla oriundo da atuação ´cega´ dos sistemas funcionais da sociedade moderna.

Proposta metodológica de inclusão da gestão de análises de riscos naturais no zoneamento ecológico e econômico

A região da Calha Norte, localizada no Baixo Amazonas do Estado do Pará, sofre historicamente com vários tipos de ameaças naturais, como cheias, enchentes, alagamentos, erosão, estiagem, enxurrada, fortes chuvas e secas, todas registradas pela Defesa Civil. Todos os anos, seja no período da chuva ou no período da seca, a população fica vulnerável a tais eventos. A presente dissertação consiste em adaptar uma iniciativa metodológica que permita a incorporação da temática de gestão de riscos naturais no Zoneamento Ecológico Econômico (ZEE) do Brasil, tendo como estudo de caso o ZEE da Calha Norte do Pará, proporcionando instrumentos para a gestão e melhorias das ações do poder público. A análise das ameaças naturais baseou-se em estudo metodológico que agregou dados históricos, mapa geomorfológico, mapa geológico, mapa hipsométrico, mapa de declividade, identificando as três classes de análises: (i) área de alta suscetibilidade; (ii) área de moderada suscetibilidade e (iii) área de baixa suscetibilidade, gerando assim os mapas das ameaças de inundação, de erosões e das secas. A construção da vulnerabilidade social ocorreu a partir da aplicação do Índice de Vulnerabilidade Social (IVS) e do Índice de Unidades de Resposta (IUR), oriundos dos dados do Censo 2010 e do Cadastro Nacional de Endereço para Fins Estatísticos (CNEFE), ambos do IBGE. Após a aplicação de tais índices verificou-se que, do total de 397 setores censitários da área de estudo, 365 setores apresentam alta vulnerabilidade e os demais, moderada e baixa vulnerabilidade, o que retrata grande preocupação com tal área. Na análise de risco, os dados de vulnerabilidade e ameaças foram integrados e novamente classificados em três níveis: (i) alto risco, onde há pouca concentração de unidades de respostas e são áreas de alta ameaça, podendo provocar danos sociais e econômicos quando e se ocorrerem as ameaças naturais; (ii) médio nível de risco, resultado gerado do cruzamento de áreas de altas ameaças x baixas ameaças e (iii) baixo nível de risco, resultando em dois produtos cartográficos: o mapa de risco de inundação e o mapa de risco de erosão. O ZEE da Calha Norte do Pará foi analisado com alguns questionamentos a fim de verificar a inclusão da temática de ameaça, vulnerabilidade e risco no documento, concluindo-se pela falta desta no documento técnico. Além disto, os resultados obtidos com a pesquisa são de elevada importância no sentido de subsidiar o ordenamento territorial e também para a criação de políticas públicas para a região.

Formação do professor de educação física para inclusão de alunos com deficiência

The paper aims to describe the steps undertaken in the development of a training program to prepare the physical education teacher to meet the demand of inclusion of students with disabilities. Seventeen physical education teachers who worked in public schools, from 1st to 5th grade, participated in the first step. The Data were collected through focus group. The analysis was performed in categories. Two teachers participated in Stage 2, which consists of 28 classes that there was a student with disabilities enrolled. The reports focus group identified eight different subcategories of difficulties: 1 ) Training , 2) Administrative-school issue ; 3 ) Student ; 4 ) Diagnosis ; 5 ) Family ; 6 ) Teaching resource ; 7 ) Strategies ; 8 ) Physical Education. The filming analysis enabled to identify difficulties and success situations of each teacher. The identification of the difficulties pointed out ways to prepare Physical Education teachers, and based on such difficulties actionsand contents that include a training program may be stipulated.

Escola em tempo de inclusão: ensino comum, educação especial e ação do fonoaudiólogo

This article refl ects about the action of the school speech therapist presented in a panel discussion proposed by the Public Health Department entitled: “School time of inclusion: common teaching, special education and speech therapist’s action” during the 19th SBFa’s Congress at the WTC Sheraton in São Paulo. The refl ections triggered aimed to provide elements for the systematization of actions from different sectors guided by ethical principles, theory and practice that enable collaborative relationships between educators and speech therapists. The text mantained the order of presentations that have focused on: 1) the challenges of speech-language intervention in the processes of inclusion and exclusion of the school: from the promotion of oral and written language, to the approaches of the so-called language disorders; 2) the interface between Speech Therapy and Education; 3) the role of the speech therapist in the context of Inclusive and Special Education. The authors support the position that the work done at the interface Speech Therapy and Education has the potential to contribute to school’s inclusion processes that will be capable to subvert the discriminatory logic that imposes in daily school the binomium inclusion / exclusion. The theoretical and methodological approaches presented by the authors are supported in a humane and civic vision care, training and social participation.

Escala de atitudes sociais em relação à inclusão: versão específica para cada categoria de deficiência

An adequate understanding of social attitudes toward inclusion is part of the study of necessary conditions to the construction of an inclusive education. he aim of this study was to translate and atapt a simple scale used to measure social attitudes toward the inclusion of blind students. From the translation, it was developed a version for each of four disabilities categories: hearing disability, physical disability, intelectual disability and visual impairment. he 637 participants answered a version of this scale and one of the ELASI (Escala Likert de Atitudes Sociais em relação à Inclusão) forms. hese participants were students of several Special Education specialization courses given in the State of Paraná. Most of them were Basic Education teachers. he results indicated a high correlation between the form A ELASI scores and the scores of each of the speciic scale version. In form B there were no signiicant correlations found relating to the visual and hearing disabilities. Moreover, the scale was capable to identify diferences between the disabilities categories. More complete assessments and new studies are necessary to clarify the divergence found between the A and B forms of ELASI.

Inclusão escolar do aluno com deficiência física: contribuições da Terapia Ocupacional

The inclusive school consists of a school that thoroughly attends the diversity and, therefore, students with special educational needs, including the ones with physical dysfunction. The objective of this study was to identify the difficulties of a teacher in the process of school inclusion of the student with physical dysfunction in order to adapt learning resources, having adequate school furniture and to guide the teacher in specific situations. A teacher of early childhood education participated in this study. For data collection two half-structuralized interviews were used. The first obtained information concerning the teacher’s difficulties due to the motor aspects of the student with difficulty to access the curriculum. The second interview gathered information about the teacher’s perception of the partnership between the occupational therapist and the teacher in the perspective of the inclusive education. The data analysis of the first interview and the student case-study allowed elaborating occupational therapy strategies to minimize these difficulties.After elaborating the strategies, a second interview was performed. The data of this interview showed that based on the analysis and adequacy of the interaction between a person’s functional demands, the task and the environment, make it possible for the student to overcome satisfactorily the inherent challenges of the educational context, and detached the importance of the partnership of the teacher and occupational therapist in the whole process. It concludes that the pupil incapacity would not have manifested if there was an adequate environment to receive him.

Elaboração de questionário para aferir concepções sobre inclusão de aluno com deficiência em aulas de educação física

The natural elapse of physical education classes does not seem to be so tranquil when the teacher is faced with students with and without disabilities in the same class. This way it is appropriate to disclose how the teacher understands the practice by itself, before the educational inclusion of the students with disabilities. It was developed a questionnaire to gauge conceptions on the inclusion of students with disabilities in physical education, through six steps: 1) performance of a semi-structured interview, 2) preparation of the first version of the questionnaire, 3) assessment of the utterances by judges and 4) writing of the second version; 5) a test to assess the clearness, and the understanding of the utterances; 6) the preparation of the third version of the questionnaire.

Inclusão de alunos com deficiência em escolas do campo: desafios da docência em contextos multisseriados

The challenges of dealing with diversity in the school, in a society that values standards, which homogenizes subjects, have been one of the main issues raised, both by researchers in the field of education as the segments that produce the policies in our country. The teatchers transformations, in the new needs prevailing in the era of postmodernity have inspired improvements in the teaching- -learning process and provide conditions to seek training professionals aware and critical in the process of being on social diversity. The present study aimed to investigate the challenges of teaching practice in the process of inclusion of students with disabilities in public schools in the Field of Concordia-SC. Such institutions have structures in their multigrade classes and organizations – with one teatcher for all. The methodological approach was qualitative in nature, with the instruments to collect data, semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation. We research subjects, two teachers of multigrade classes, Azucena and Dalia, which have enrollment of disabled students and the schools that comprise the Concordia Field. It was observed that as a result the main themes emerged from the interviews were: 1) Valuing and respecting the characteristics and capabilities of each student, 2) Design of classroom space as heterogeneous, rich in human diversity, 3) Cooperative work as a potentiator rhythms and different styles of learning, 4) continuing training of teachers: ensuring a “know-how”. It is hoped that the results of this study contribute to the formation and performance of the teacher in the process of inclusion of students with disabilities in school areas, especially in schools field.

Análise das diretrizes curriculares dos cursos de licenciatura em relação à formação de professores para inclusão de alunos com necessidades especiais

As políticas educacionais inclusivas, difundidas a partir dos anos 1990, vêm favorecendo o aumento do número de alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais (NEE) matriculados em classe comum, no entanto, os professores que os recebem, em sua maioria, estão despreparados para atendê-los. Tomando como base essa situação, o presente estudo teve o objetivo de analisar as orientações contidas nas diretrizes curriculares dos cursos de licenciatura em relação à preparação dos futuros professores para inclusão de alunos com NEE. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental. Foram selecionados recortes temáticos nos textos das referidas diretrizes de maneira a identificar os extratos que contemplavam recomendações ou comentários referentes ao processo de formação dos professores em relação à inclusão de alunos com NEE. Pelos resultados obtidos nos documentos analisados, constata-se, com raras exceções, uma significativa carência de orientações claras e amplas a respeito do tema em questão. Portanto, considera-se que as referidas diretrizes precisam ser aprimoradas em relação à questão em pauta. Com base nos conhecimentos desenvolvidos na área, sugere-se que as mesmas orientem a inserção de pelo menos uma disciplina sobre o tema inclusão de alunos com NEE; a inserção de conteúdos afins nas demais disciplinas dos cursos de licenciatura; a disponibilização de estágios em salas de aulas inclusivas, bem como a indicação dos conteúdos a serem trabalhados. Avalia-se que a efetividade do processo de inclusão dos alunos com NEE assenta-se na articulação entre as políticas educacionais e as políticas de formação dos professores.
