The purpose of this qualitative research study was to identify the perceptions of general and special education teachers currently participating in collaborative co-teaching team models regarding the leadership practices of principals in support of co-teaching as a service delivery model in high schools. The literature review findings indicated the importance of administrative leadership and support being essential for the implementation of co-teaching. Therefore, the two research questions for this qualitative study focused on administrative practices that support co-teaching. The two research questions for this qualitative research study were a) What are the leadership practices of principals, as perceived by general education teachers, in support of co-teaching as a service delivery model in high schools? and b) What are the leadership practices of principals, as perceived by special education teachers, in support of co-teaching as a service delivery model in high schools? This research study utilized a qualitative phenomenological research approach which was an interview protocol used to collect data from high school general and special education teachers participating in the study. The criteria for participation included: a) high school general and special education teachers currently participating or had participated in a collaborative co-teaching team model servicing students with disabilities, and b) high school general and special education teachers participating or had previously participated in a collaborative co-teaching team model servicing students with disabilities in core-content areas. The findings for school divisions and high school principals are common vision, expectations for co-teaching, ongoing, job-embedded professional development, and amenities that support co-teaching. The findings in this study resulted in five implications for school divisions and high school principals. Implications for practice were provided at the conclusion of the study and focused on identifying the practices of principal leadership, as perceived by general and special education teachers, in support of co-teaching in high schools. Also, suggestions for future research were addressed in this study. / Doctor of Education / The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to identify perceptions of high school general and special education teachers regarding principal leadership practices in support of co-teaching as a service delivery model in high schools. During this basic qualitative study, the researcher investigated the perceptions of eight high school general and special education teachers by conducting one-on-one interviews to collect data on the participants' perceptions of principal leadership practices in support of co-teaching in high schools. This basic qualitative study resulted in five findings. The high school general and special education teachers indicated a) principals conveyed a common vision for co-teaching with all staff members, b) professional development was provided by the principal to support implementing a co-teaching model, c) principal collaboration and communication with co-teaching teams was provided for the co-teaching model, d) co-teaching expectations were communicated by the principal to all staff members to foster a collaborative environment, and e) administrative support is fundamental for effective co-teaching. The five findings resulted in five implications for high school general and special education teachers perceptions of principal leadership practices in support of co-teaching a) school divisions should provide school leaders with support to develop and articulate a common vision for co-teaching based on research and best practices, b) the school division can allocate funds to provide job embedded co-teaching (for both the general and special educator) professional development, training, and conferences for full co-teaching implementation, c) principals should provide scheduled collaborative opportunities with general and special education teachers working in co-teaching teams, d) principals should convey co-teaching expectations with all staff members in an effort to strengthen collaborative environments, and e) principals should provide general and special education teachers continuous support in co-teaching collaborations.

nÃo hà / A inclusÃo do estudante com deficiÃncia no ensino superior à considerada, ainda, um grande desafio no Ãmbito social, polÃtico, bem como para as instituiÃÃes de ensino superior, considerando que durante muito tempo todos os esforÃos quanto ao tema eram direcionados à educaÃÃo bÃsica, ficando o ensino superior em plano secundÃrio. A partir da dÃcada de 1980, iniciaram-se discussÃes sobre o tema e houve aumento no nÃmero de acesso de estudantes com deficiÃncia na educaÃÃo superior. Atualmente, percebemos uma inclusÃo que ocorre gradualmente, visualizamos aÃÃes e polÃticas dirigidas à inclusÃo do estudante com deficiÃncia no ensino superior. Como exemplos mais recentes podemos citar a Lei n 13.146/2015, Lei Brasileira de InclusÃo, e a Lei de Acessibilidade, Lei n 10.098/2000, regulamentada pelo Decreto n 5.296/2004, as quais reservam em seu teor disposiÃÃes voltadas ao ensino superior. O objetivo do presente estudo à investigar a percepÃÃo dos estudantes com deficiÃncia sobre as polÃticas de inclusÃo no Ãmbito da Universidade Federal do Cearà (UFC). A pesquisa possui abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa de natureza bÃsica. Utiliza como instrumento de coleta de dados a pesquisa bibliogrÃfica, documental e pesquisa de campo. O estudo toma por base as principais teorias e ideias contemporÃneas sobre as polÃticas de educaÃÃo inclusiva, com foco na educaÃÃo superior, bem como consulta documentos oficiais que dÃo fundamentaÃÃo legal ao tema. Quanto à pesquisa de campo, aplica-se um questionÃrio dirigido aos estudantes com deficiÃncia dos cursos de graduaÃÃo da UFC. Os principais resultados obtidos foram: a estrutura de acessibilidade arquitetÃnica da UFC nÃo atende plenamente à legislaÃÃo que regulamenta o assunto, a Lei de acessibilidade, uma vez que nÃo possui todos os seus ambientes com estrutura adequada para receber estudantes com deficiÃncia; a maioria das aÃÃes e serviÃos oferecidos pela Secretaria de Acessibilidade da UFC à conhecida pelos estudantes com deficiÃncia, embora deste grupo, a maioria sinalizou nunca ter utilizado, aÃÃes inclusive direcionadas a todas as deficiÃncias. A pesquisa revelou que 78% dos estudantes sinalizaram que ânuncaâ, âraramenteâ e âalgumas vezesâ sentem-se em igualdade de oportunidade, o que consideramos ter forte relaÃÃo com as barreiras humanas, que foram apontadas pelos estudantes como a barreira mais acentuada. As principais crÃticas dos estudantes voltadas Ãs barreiras humanas foram nÃo sentirem seus direitos respeitados e o nÃo reconhecimento de suas capacidades. / The inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education is still a major challenge in the social, political, and higher education institutions, considering that for a long time all efforts on this subject were directed at basic education, Secondary education. From the 1980s, discussions began on the subject and there was an increase in the number of access for students with disabilities in higher education. Currently, we perceive an inclusion that occurs gradually, we visualize actions and policies directed to the inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education. The most recent examples are Law No. 13,146 / 2015, Brazilian Law of Inclusion, and the Accessibility Law, Law 10,098 / 2000, regulated by Decree No. 5,296 / 2004, which reserve provisions for higher education. The objective of this study is to investigate the perception of students with disabilities on inclusion policies within the Federal University of Cearà (UFC). The research has a quantitative and qualitative approach of a basic nature. It uses as a data collection instrument bibliographical research, documentary and field research. The study is based on the main theories and contemporary ideas about inclusive education policies, focusing on higher education, as well as consulting official documents that provide legal basis to the theme. As far as the field research is concerned, a questionnaire is applied to students with disabilities in UFC undergraduate courses. The main results obtained were: the architectural accessibility structure of the UFC does not fully comply with the legislation that regulates the subject, the Accessibility Law, since it does not have all its environments with adequate structure to receive students with disabilities; Most of the actions and services offered by the Accessibility Secretariat of the UFC are known by students with disabilities, although of this group, most signaled never to have used, actions even addressed to all the deficiencies. The survey revealed that 78% of students reported that "never", "rarely" and "sometimes" felt equal on equal terms, which we consider to be strongly related to human barriers, which were pointed out by students as the most Accentuated. The main criticism of students facing human barriers was not to feel their rights respected and the non-recognition of their abilities.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Santa_Terezinha.pdf: 700877 bytes, checksum: e85562114fea8ca88a71de2967a646df (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-03-18 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research was carried out with the aim to investigate the facilitators and the inhibitors in the teacher‟s speech, when he/she exposes the content on the board, in an inclusive class with the presence of visually disabled students. Among the barriers is the use of deictic expressions, mainly spatial deictics, when visual resources are used to decode the referents. As for the facilitators, the most important is the verbalization of those referents pointed by the teacher, that is, when the teacher brings the object under focus to orality. For this study, three secondary education schools were selected, questionnaires were applied to the teachers and some classes were observed, characterizing an ethnographic research. After data transcription, analyses were carried out, and we discussed some possible ways to conduct the teaching-learning process in a successful way. For supporting our discussions, we carried out a study on deixis, as well as on the person with visual disability (blind or with low vision) and the spaces occupied by him/her in the society and at school. / Este trabalho foi elaborado com o objetivo de investigar os facilitadores e os complicadores no discurso do professor, quando da exposição do conteúdo, ao usar o quadro, numa turma de inclusão com a presença de alunos com deficiência visual. Dentre os complicadores, destaca-se o uso de expressões indiciais com a presença dos dêiticos, principalmente os espaciais, nos momentos em que se utilizam os recursos visuais para a decodificação dos referenciais. E como facilitadores, destaca-se a complementação verbal desses referentes indiciais apontados, ao trazer para a oralidade o objeto que se quer atenção. Para a realização deste estudo, foram selecionadas três escolas de ensino médio e aplicados questionários aos professores, bem como observadas aulas em pesquisa do tipo etnográfica. Após a transcrição das aulas observadas, foram feitas análises e discutidos encaminhamentos possíveis para a efetivação do ensino-aprendizagem. Como pano de fundo para as análises e discussões, desenvolveu-se um estudo sobre a dêixis, bem como sobre quem é a pessoa com deficiência visual (cego ou com baixa visão) e os espaços ocupados por elas na sociedade e na escola.
