Professor de educação física: Se sente apto para trabalhar com a inclusão de pessoas com deficiência nas aulas de educação física escolar?

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aimed to verify whether the physical education teacher in the municipality of Trindade-GO feels able to work with inclusion in school physical education classes. The sample consisted of 08 people between 27 and 50 years old and all Physical Education Teachers. For data collection, depending on the current situation, which is the “coronavirus” pandemic, online questionnaires were presented with open and closed questions. The results showed that in training 75% of teachers took courses and specializations in the area of ​​disability and feel that they have sufficient knowledge to meet the educational needs of students with disabilities and 37.5% agree almost entirely and 37.5% fully agree that they need more study and training to teach PE simultaneously to students with and without disabilities. Thus, it can be concluded that the teachers who participated in this research, despite having courses and specific training in the area, perceive a difficulty in working with the inclusion of students with disabilities in school physical education classes.
