A PROPOSAL FOR IN-SERVICE CONTINUOUS TRAINING HAVING INCLUSIVE EDUCATION AS THE THEME

This text presents reflections emerging from activities carried out during the development of the action-research entitled “A proposal for continuing in-service training with Inclusive Education as its theme”. It also brings the results of the training implemented based on research data that was developed throughout the Professional Master's in Education course, attended at the Federal University of Pampa - Jaguarão campus. The main objective of the study was to carry out continuing education with the teachers of a Municipal Elementary School, located in the city of Pelotas/RS. The specific objectives were: to sensitize teachers in the early years of elementary school to the relevance of work, especially with students with disabilities; reflect on the pedagogical practice in regular education from the perspective of an inclusive perspective; identify what needs to be done in everyday practice for effective inclusion; collectively plan intervention strategies in the teaching and learning process; monitor the investigative process through records; and evaluate everything that was done to get the results. Training was mainly focused on creating strategies aimed at the effective inclusion of special education students. The expectation was to promote a change of perspective in the teaching and learning process of the actors involved. The results, among other aspects, showed the importance of initiatives of this nature in the intervention of problems linked to the teaching and learning processes of these students, but, above all, to provide participants with new forms of continuing education based on their educational and social reality.
