Abstract

This research had as investigative centrality the public policies of inclusive education, within the scope of the special education modality, having as a locus of research the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Roraima / Campus Boa Vista. The aim of this study was to understand the challenges to students' professional schooling, which is the target audience of this modality. In this sense, the objective was to characterize the conceptions and political-pedagogical actions on the inclusion of the target audience of the special education in the technical professional education of the Boa Vista Campus of the Federal Institute of Roraima. The movement of inclusive education was also discussed in the process of access, permanence and success of the target public students of specialeducation, considering, for this, the time cut from the 1990s to the present day. This is an exploratory research, with analysis of national normative and guiding documents on educational inclusion, as well as institutional documents of the scope of the research. The questionnaire for the characterization of the subjects participating in the study and semi-structured interview was adopted as a data collection instrument. We interviewed seven managers who contributed to the research in the identification of the political-pedagogical / inclusive conceptions and actions proposed for the target audience of Special Education in Technical Professional Education at the intermediate level. The data was worked on from the perspective of content analysis, based on the thinking of Laurence Bardin. It was verified that there are initiatives in the Campus of inclusive actions; however, the research points out that among the challenges for educational inclusion is the lack of adherence on the part of teachers in the inclusion process, as well as the reduced number of professionals qualified to work with the target audience of the modality discussed. However, most participants consider the institution to be inclusive but recognize that there is much to be done to meet the goals of special education. The research also shows that in the academic environment there is still strong resistance from educators regarding the inclusion of the target audience of special education in vocational technical education.
