Accessibility and pedagogical support in physical education classes: a study in state schools in Dourados – MS

The goal of this research is to scrutinize the accessibility and pedagogical support for Physical Education classes with students with special needs in state schools in Dourados, MS. Inclusive education still suffers with many challenges and difficulties, given the schools are not yet prepared to face all existing social and pedagogical barrriers. In this study, thirteen questionnaires, answered in 2018 by students in their Internship Report for the Supervised Internship II discipline at the Centro Universitário da Grande Dourados - UNIGRAN, were analyzed. A lack of adequate facilities to provide a proper environment for students with special needs, meager professional training, and the absence of specialized pedagogical support during Physical Education classes were observed among the obtained results.
