Abstract
The present paper discusses the data originated from a research entitled Rio de Janeiro’s State Observatory of Special Education (Oeerj), which is part of a broader research, named National Special Education Observatory (Oneesp), with regards to the process of evaluation and inclusion in education. Through focus groups carried out during a Continued Education Cycle originated by the State Observatory, we identified three different topics for discussion. The first is linked to processes of identification and diagnosis of the special education student. The second relates to the large-scale evaluation policies. The third has to do with a much needed multidimensional change in the evaluation practices of school routine. We point out that the evaluative process is an important parameter on the basis of which to identify pedagogic practices that make it possible to build learning and participation conditions for all students.
