Mapeamento de produtos educacionais voltados para a educação inclusiva na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica no ProfEPT

Abstract

The set of studies aims to analyze the production of educational products aimed at the inclusion of students with disabilities in Professional and Technological Education, developed in the Postgraduate Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT) between 2018 and 2024. The first article, entitled “Educational products aimed at inclusion in Professional and Technological Education: an assessment of the national production of the Postgraduate Program in Professional and Technological Education from 2018 to 2024”, aimed to identify the types of adapted educational products developed for the inclusion of students with disabilities, analyzing whether they meet the various special educational needs. The methodology involved bibliographic research on the websites of the Federal Institutes, the ProfEPT Observatory and the Educapes portal, in addition to documentary analysis on guidelines for Professional and Technological Education. The results indicate that few products directly address inclusive methodologies, generally focusing on only one type of disability, while the majority are limited to teacher training, without going into depth. The second article, “Inclusive Education in the Federal Network of Professional and Technological Education: a case study of the Federal Institute of Acre”, sought to understand how ProfEPT/IFAC works to include students with disabilities, identifying recommended pedagogical practices and the challenges faced. The methodology combined bibliographic and documentary research, analyzing dissertations and educational products. The study highlights important initiatives, but highlights the need for greater teacher training and curricular adaptation to meet diversity. The third article, “Mapping of Inclusive Educational Products in Professional and Technological Education: current scenario at ProfEPT”, analyzed the gaps in ProfEPT’s products and research aimed at inclusion. It revealed a lack of materials for certain types of disabilities, a lack of teacher training, and a need for curricular adaptation. The general motivation of the research is to demonstrate that the inclusion of students with disabilities is possible through adapted pedagogical practices, promoting equality in teaching and learning. It also aims to expand the dissemination of inclusive methodologies for consultation and application by teachers. The personal justification of the researcher, who has a physical disability, reinforces the interest in understanding the inclusive process in different contexts. As an educational product, the booklet “Catalog of educational products aimed at inclusive education in Professional and Technological Education at ProfEPT” was created.
