Políticas públicas de educação inclusiva: organização político-pedagógica na (re) orientação da modalidade Educação Especial no Município de Itaguaí/RJ

Abstract

This dissertation consisted in investigating the Municipal Plan of Education of Itaguaí/RJ, which was reformulated in the year 2015 and will be current until the year 2025. For this purpose, acknowledging the relevance of the PME (2015) from Itaguai/RJ, (because it acts in a sense of re-orientating the education in the municipality) this study researched the reorientation of that document regarding pedagogical and educational assistance of the target-public students of the special education program of the municipality, and overall of the CEMAEE (Centro Municipal de Atendimento Educacional Especializado, in english "Municipal Centre of Specialized Educational Assistance"). Our researched issues were: Does the Municipal Plan of Education of Ituaguai (2015) contribute to the democratization process of the education system? How is the political-pedagogical organization set in the (re) orientation included in the PME (2015) of Itaguaí, regarding the assistance to the target-public students in special education programs? Is the PME Itaguaí (2015) in line with the PNE (National Education Plan)? Which are the perspectives of improvement that the PME Itaguaí could establish in the CEMAEE's assistance? Which are the difficulties that the participants in this study have found for the implementation of the inclusive orientation for the target-public of the special education program? What do the participants of this study think/know about the current Public Policy of Inclusive Education concerning the special education target-public students? The methodological conception of this research was the "undissociability" between method and theory exposed in the Teoría Critica (Critical Theory) of education. The thought of Theodor Adorno inspired our analysis, as well as Damasceno and Costa, commentators of his thought. Regarding the methodological procedures, we divided them in two moments, the first moment consisted in the documental analysis, in which we evaluated the previous PME of Itaguaí (2010-2020) and the current (2015-2025) and we characterized the Documento de Formação (Formation Document) from 2010 from the CEMAEE. In the second moment, we accomplished the interviews with the subjects of the study, as follows: Ex-secretary of Education, Ex-sub-secretary of Education, Secretary of education, manager of the CEMAEE and the teacher of the CEMAEE, and we applied the characterization to them. In our final considerations, we identified that the PME (2015) represents a very important achievement for the education of the Municipality, since it presents political-pedagogical disposals that collaborate with the school inclusion of the target-public students of special education. Nevertheless Itaguaí still faces challenges that raise obstacles to reach education for everyone, thus becoming urgent that what was instituted by the PME (2015) is implemented in the sphere of the institutive of the municipal network of Itaguaí. We emphasize the importance of this and other researches that have the objective of studying the operational ability of the process of the school inclusion of the target-public individuals/students in the special education programs, in tune with the movement of democratization of the education.
