The inclusion of students with disabilities in Physical Education underdegree courses in the city of Maceió-AL, Brazil

Abstract:

In recent years, the access of people with disability has increased in college education. This process defies and provokes changes inside and outside the wall of College Education Institution (CEI). Because this reason, we propose ourselves, in this research of cases multiples and qualitative approach, to understand the inclusion process of students with disability in Physical Education underdegree courses in the city of Maceio/AL, using instrument of gathering data a semi-structured interview. In this study, the participants were students with disability and their respective course coordinators. For the analysis of data we used the contents analysis, specifically the thematic. We made an exhaustive reading of the collected materials and we identified the important themes for the study. After this, we codified based on thematic criteria. The results reported that only 03 (1 public and 2 private) of 20 CEI in the city of Maceio/AL offers Physical Education Teaching Courses in 2009/2010. Theses 03 CEI, we verified, through of visits in loco that only two private institutions - they were called in this study of "A" Institution and "B" Institution - have students with disability - Institution "A" had 02 students and Institution "B" had 03 ones. These 05 students with disability were invited to take part in the research, as well their respective course coordinators - 02 in the total, one from each institution. All of them accepted the invitation and signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF). The results showed that although the inclusion process was going on and the participation of students with disability in the Physical Education underdegree courses was more expressive than years ago, their permanence was conditioned to their own efforts and help of classmates. This condition was due to several barriers that still existed in the educational space, leaving them more vulnerable to exclusion. Thus, it was crucial that the institutions surveyed (re)think the form that has seen the inclusion of the environment in your institution, furthermore, plan and execute actions that contribute to this process in their educational establishment. Thus, we believe that the studied institution would be more prepared to make teaching-learning students with disability in inclusive education perspective.
