The second dimension includes the undergraduate students and their relational possibilities with the formative context, presenting a general overview of the students’ profile – students who are about to conclude their major, as well as discussing the ways in which they understand their formative context and build their knowledge about inclusive education in initial formation. It has as a theoretical basis the assumptions of Tardif (2002) about teachers’ knowledge and it considers movements of empirical material production: application of structured questionnaires with ...
