O paradigma da inclusão no curso de pedagogia do IFPA: o projeto formativo em debate

A Formação do Pedagogo1 para atuar em uma escola inclusiva é um tema que envolve muito mais que uma análise do processo formativo desenvolvido pelas Instituições de Ensino Superior; Ela abrange, também, uma concepção política e social que orientam os princípios norteadores da política educacional. O objeto de estudo desta dissertação destaca “O paradigma da inclusão no curso de pedagogia do IFPA: O projeto formativo em debate”. A pesquisa ocorre com o propósito de analisar o processo formativo que vem sendo desenvolvido no curso de Pedagogia mantido pelo IFPA, em Belém, para o desenvolvimento de um perfil profissional inclusivo, que atenda, além da política da educação especial, aquelas que atendem ao negro, ao indígena, aos jovens e aos adultos, entre outras. Para tanto, a pesquisa se desenvolve sob o paradigma qualitativo, na abordagem do materialismo histórico e dialético, relacionando as influências econômicas, políticas e sociais que interferem na construção das prescrições oficiais orientadoras da política educacional. A metodologia da pesquisa é a do estudo de caso, a fim de ser possível inferir como vem ocorrendo a formação do Pedagogo. As fontes foram colhidas por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. O tratamento do material colhido ocorreu por meio da técnica da Análise de Conteúdo, conforme as orientações de Franco. A importância da pesquisa se dá na possibilidade de apresentar à academia e à sociedade como a legislação educacional tem sido compreendida e aplicada pelas Instituições de Ensino no sentido de desenvolver um perfil profissional inclusivo nos estudantes do Curso de Pedagogia, a fim de que estejam, ao final do curso, aptos para atuar em uma escola inclusiva. Esta pesquisa tem como referência inicial o projeto “Cartografia da Educação Especial nos Cursos de Licenciatura das Instituições Públicas de Ensino do Estado do Pará”, cuja intenção é elaborar indicadores da política educacional especial/inclusiva, promovida pelas Instituições de Ensino Superior – IES Públicas, coordenada pelo Prof. Dr. Genylton Odilon Rego da Rocha, líder do Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre Currículo e Formação de Professores na Perspectiva da Inclusão, INCLUDERE.

Pedagogia, educação especial e educação inclusiva na UNESP: história e trajetória

This article addresses the historical constitution of Pedagogy undergraduate courses and their current proposal for teacher education and for the management of education systems. Another aspect discussed in the text is the constitution of the Pedagogy undergraduate courses at UNESP, the movement of each one, its specificities, relationship with the national trend, political aspects, and also the implications of the national guidelines for training in special education and the inclusive education approach in teacher education. Nowadays, UNESP has six Pedagogy undergraduate courses that are strongly consolidated and active in the Brazilian educational scenario in the area of teaching, research and extension education, and although UNESP has progressed towards conforming the national guidelines, each course has peculiarities in its pedagogical projects. As a result of this and of the history of the FFC in Marília, we found an organization that includes the perspective of an inclusive education.

Formação continuada de professores na educação inclusiva: a motivação em questão

Since 1990, in Brazil, the paradigm of inclusive education has influenced public policies and educational systems. Continuing education courses for teachers are spreading with the intention of preparing them to face the challenge of working with students with disabilities. But what factor has motivated teachers to participate in these courses? This study sought to answer this question by identifying and mapping the aspects that led to 105 regular education teachers from municipal schools in São Paulo to participate during the year 2010/2011, the third edition of the specialization course called "Teacher Education in Special Education." Data was collected through a questionnaire applied to teachers who attend the course. The results revealed that motivation is intrinsically related to the characteristics of the teachers’ age and where they stand in the cycle of teaching career, as well as aspects related to professional activities. Moreover, from this research were pointed reflections on the importance of training teachers for the improvement of the educational system in order to effectively meet the principles of inclusive education, as suggested by the legislation in our country.

The Politics of Accountability and Teacher Preparation: A Case Study from Pennsylvania

In an effort to understand some of the ways that accountability-based reform efforts have influenced teacher education, this article details the politics of accountability in Pennsylvania that motivated sweeping changes in the policies governing teacher preparation in 2006. This case study provides a poignant example of the kind of complex accountability systems now being constructed across the United States in an effort to change teacher preparation. By analyzing primary documents including the legal statutes governing teacher preparation in Pennsylvania, correspondence from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, related newsletters, memos, reports, transcripts of meetings, and testimony before the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, the complex nature of the conflicts underlying the development and implementation of teacher education reform is brought into focus. The study's findings suggest that a deep and uncritical acceptance of accountability-based teacher education reform on the part of educational policy makers is likely to do more harm than good. The article concludes by outlining a framework for developing more intelligent measures of accountability that might preserve professional autonomy and judgment.
