Inclusive Education (IE) reflects the values, ethos, and culture of an education system committed to excellence by promoting education opportunities for all learners. IE is about building a more just society and ensuring the right to education for all learners regardless of their individual characteristics or difficulties (UNESCO: 2007). The kingdom of Swaziland has committed itself to high quality basic education which provides equal opportunities for all children and youth. This is evident in the Swaziland National Constitution (2006). To promote Education for All (EFA) as stated in the constitution, an IE Policy has been developed and a draft policy is in place. The programme has been operational since 2006. There are nine pilot schools and four teachers from each school who have been trained on how to handle pupils with disabilities. The programme will be rolled out to 608 primary schools by 2015. In this research, the goal was to investigate how a School Management Board responds to the challenges of managing an Inclusive School. This research is a qualitative interpretive case study based in one of the pilot schools in Mbabane in Swaziland. The study used document analysis, semi‐structured interviews and focus groups to collect data. The study revealed that the school has done much in accommodating IE as there are changes in management structures and approaches, organizational culture and operating procedures. On the other hand, there are still significant challenges such as a lack of knowledge of inclusion and negativity on the part of learners and parents. Other challenges include inadequate training for educators and lack of suitable infrastructure. The study concludes by recommending improved staff development programmes, infrastructure upgrades, acquiring appropriate teaching and learning resources and employing multidisciplinary personnel.

This study was aimed to explore challenges of students with disabilities in higher education institutions in Namibia, as narrated and illustrated by themselves. Mixed methodologies, with specific reference to a small-scale quantitative survey and extensive qualitative design were employed as tools to understand the prevalence, extent and nature of challenges of students with disabilities in their pursuance of higher education in Namibia. Data was thus collected in two phases. The first phase consisted of a ten-item quantitative-survey which was largely used to determine the prevalence of students with disabilities in higher education institutions, and basic information regarding institutional standpoints pertaining to students with disabilities. Data acquired through this survey confirmed the prevalence of students with disabilities in Namibian higher education institutions. The second phase represented the qualitative design whereby data was collected through three main methodologies namely a narrative diary-based approach, a photo-voice and individual interviews. These methodologies ensured reliability of the data through triangulation. The study confirmed that inclusive education at the higher education level in Namibia was largely achieved through the goal of access, as all higher education institutions have admitted students with observable as well as hidden disabilities. However, a major finding of the study was that support and provision for students with disabilities was rendered in fragmented portions within and across institutions, and that the goals of equity and equality have not yet been achieved to the desired degree, if inclusive education was to become a reality for students with disabilities in higher education in Namibia. Students reported challenges related to physical accessibility of institutions; unavailability of educational material in alternative, as opposed to traditional formats; lack of sensitivity and skills of staff; as well as lack of structured support systems. The study also revealed that, notwithstanding the challenges students faced in their institutions, students with disabilities continued to perform their academic duties to the best of their abilities and were driven by their individual personal philosophies, many of which spoke of perseverance and courage, to make a success of their studies. / D.

For physically challenged students, inequalities in further education begin with inequalities that have shaped the whole schooling system in South Africa. The limited provision that exists for physically challenged students at further education and training colleges in KwaZulu-Natal Province, especially black physically challenged students, means that for these students there is a very high level of exclusion from the education system. Many students with physical challenges still need an ally even in their basic accommodation. The focus of this research was on exploring challenges experienced by physically challenged students at “Mango” (pseudonym) Further Education and Training College in KwaZulu-Natal Province. That investigation was conducted in terms of the availability of resources for physically challenged students at Further Education and Training Colleges, the use of learner support services, accessibility of buildings for these students and the roles played by parents of physically challenged students at Further Education and Training Colleges in KwaZulu-Natal Province. This study was therefore designed to explore not only the challenges experienced by physically challenged students at Mango FET College in KwaZulu-Natal Province, but also their experiences and responses to such challenges. This research study was conducted with students who were physically challenged and their lecturers from Mango FET College in KwaZulu-Natal Province. The sample of the population included six participants who were physically challenged students and four participants who were lecturers teaching physically challenged students at Mango FET College. Furthermore, participants comprised both females and males who were doing different levels at the college, i.e. NQF level two, NQF level three and NQF level four students. The research study sought to explore the challenges experienced by such physically challenged students at Mango FET College in KwaZulu-Natal Province in order for the college to meet these students’ academic needs. Observations and semi-structured interviews were the main data-collection tools used in the study. Results from the current research study indicated that inaccessibility of buildings, lack of resources for physically challenged students, inadequate support from student support services and the college represented major barriers to the success of the physically challenged students at Mango FET College in KwaZulu-Natal Province. Moreover, although student support services are available, the entire college population, students and staff alike, should all be responsible for creating an inclusive environment where students with physical challenges can experience a sense of community and attitudes of embracing diversity and accommodating differences. The responsibility thus lies with all relevant role players of Mango FET College in KwaZulu-Natal Province who must work together to overcome social and academic barriers; to accommodate physically challenged students properly, provide them with accessible buildings, encourage parents to assist physically challenged students, endeavour to meet their academic, social and emotional needs and assist them to develop academically. In future, progress can be made through the increased coordination of student support services, building accessible buildings with ramps for physically challenged students, and providing adequate resources for these students. / Inclusive Education / M.

A implementação dessas salas e seu funcionamento tem sido estimulados e financiados com mais força a partir do final da década de 2000 e portanto, em termos educacionais pode-se dizer que se trata de uma experiência relativamente nova e que ainda esta em fase de estruturação para dentro de uma política de Educação Especial na perspectiva inclusiva. Deste modo este estudo teve como objetivo: Avaliar o processo de implementação da política pública das SRM do município de Jequié/BA. Com foco nos seguintes objetivos específicos: Observar nas SRM as condições físicas, materiais pedagógicos e recursos de Tecnologia Assistiva; Analisar o processo de organização do trabalho da SRM; Verificar a formação inicial e continuada dos professores especialistas que atuam na SRM e Identificar as relações estabelecidas entre os professores especialistas das SRM e os professores da classe comum. Esta pesquisa utilizou métodos qualitativos de investigação. Foi um estudo de caso. Desenvolveu-se uma análise documental e buscou um melhor entendimento da realidade local de Jequié realizando uma pesquisa de campo. Na pesquisa de campo foram utilizadas entrevista semi estruturada, discussão de grupo focal e também a observação direta. Foram sujeitos da pesquisa a coordenadora de educação especial do município e as professoras da SRM. A partir desta pesquisa, foram evidenciadas as problemáticas existentes no funcionamento e organização das SRM, aspectos como uma falta de formação mais aprofundada, a multiplicidade de afazeres das professoras, causando sobrecarga de trabalho, a falta de colaboração das professoras de classes comuns e a pouca valorização, a falta de material, a integração de uma equipe multidisciplinar entre outros fatores. Mas também pode-se perceber que apesar da precarização, o trabalho feito com dedicação tem surtido efeito e algumas mazelas tem sido aos poucos superadas. Palavras-chave: SRM. AEE. Educação Especial.

The implementation of these rooms and its operation has been stimulated and funded harder from the late 2000s and therefore, in education terms can say that this is a relatively new experience and that is still being structured to within a Special Education policy in the inclusive perspective. Thus this study aimed to evaluate the implementation process of public policy SRM city of Jequié / BA. With a focus on the following specific objectives: To observe the SRM physical conditions, teaching materials and assistive technology resources; Analyze the organization process of the SRM work; Check the initial and continuous training of specialist teachers who work in SRM and identify the relations between the specialist teachers of SRM and teachers in an inclusive classroom. This research used qualitative research methods. It was a case study. Developed a document analysis and sought a better understanding of the local reality of Jequié conducting field research. In the field research were used semi-structured, focus group discussion and also direct observation. The subjects were the special education coordinator of the municipality and the teachers of the SRM. From this research, the existing problems were found in the functioning and organization of SRM, looks like a lack of further training, the multiplicity of affairs of the teachers, causing work overload, lack of cooperation from common classes of teachers and the little appreciation, lack of material, the integration of a multidisciplinary team and other factors. But it can be seen that despite the uncertainty, the work done with dedication has proven effective and some ills has been gradually overcome. Keywords: SRM. AEE. Special Education. Common Rooms.

Those issues create now an urgent need in higher education for physical infrastructure, pedagogical practices, technological resources and interpersonal relationships. Studies have been done on urban, architectonic, and attitudinal barriers, and also on the difficulties of access and permanency, reservation of vacancies and other issues regarding the inclusion of disabled people in higher education. Although some studies have shown the satisfaction of the student in higher education, the specific and necessary issues of the disabled student are still absent. Considering this, the objective of this research is to understand the level of satisfaction of the disabled student, regarding access and retention, through an instrument that was constructed for this purpose. For this, a higher education institution was chosen, in which the necessary characteristics for testing the instrument were present. Within this objective, it was proposed to identify the profile of this population, the level of satisfaction regarding the offered physical and operational structures, the level of satisfaction and attitude towards obstacles, as well as knowledge of legislation on accessibility and the NBR 9050/2004. This is a quantitativequalitative (emphasizing the first), exploratory, correlational, transversal study. The sample consisted of eighteen students: eight of them were visually disabled; six were physically disabled; three were hearing disabled; and one had learning difficulties. The constructed instrument was named Scale of Satisfaction and Attitudes of Disabled People SSA. As a result of the sample size, the techniques were used towards an exploratory rather than an inferential sense; therefore, the findings are restricted. It was verified that the average figures of the groups differ in a statistically significant way (p=0.065) by the Friedman Test, indicating that there are differences among structural, operational and psycho affective satisfaction, and the attitudes towards obstacles, in the studied group, at 90% certainty. Regarding the Structural factor, 50% of the sample tended to satisfaction, whereas the others tended to dissatisfaction and satisfaction with 25% on each side. In the Operational factor, 25% of the ones who answered to the items were dissatisfied, 50% tended to dissatisfaction and 25% were satisfied. In the Psycho Affective factor, 25% tend to satisfaction and 75% are satisfied. Regarding the Attitude towards obstacles, 25% showed certain neutrality or preference for omission, whilst 75% had a positive attitude. Regarding knowledge of legislation on accessibility and the norm NBR 9050/2004 of ABNT, it was observed that the disabled students who participated in the research that had no prior knowledge of the norm (approximately 60%) knew very little about the legislation on accessibility. The opposite is true for those who knew about the norm, that is, all of these knew the legislation on accessibility very well, and they also had a lower level of structural satisfaction. The participants with visual disability showed more knowledge regarding the legislation and the NBR 9050/2004. The students with visual and physical disabilities showed lower levels of satisfaction for the Structural factor, and the students with hearing disabilities showed lower levels for the Operational factor, especially when communicating with teachers and while in classes. However, the levels for the Psycho Affective and Attitude factors were within the range of satisfaction which compensates the low levels for Structural and Operational factors. Therefore, these findings allow us to state that the application of an instrument that measures the satisfaction of the disabled student in higher education is feasible and useful, in order to consider the direction the university is taking, when it comes to the access and the retention of these students. / O aumento do número de alunos com deficiência no ensino superior tem levantado questões que, anteriormente, estavam mais centradas na educação básica. Essas questões criam agora uma urgência no ensino superior com relação às estruturas físicas, às práticas pedagógicas, aos recursos tecnológicos e de relacionamento interpessoal. Estudos vêm sendo feitos sobre as barreiras urbanísticas, arquitetônicas e atitudinais e sobre as dificuldades de acesso e permanência, reserva de vagas e outras questões relacionadas à inclusão da pessoa com deficiência no ensino superior. Embora tenham sido encontradas pesquisas que tratam da satisfação do aluno no ensino superior, as questões específicas, e necessárias, do aluno com deficiência estão ausentes. Considerando isto, objetivou-se nesta pesquisa conhecer o nível de satisfação do aluno com deficiência, quanto ao acesso e permanência, através de um instrumento construído para este fim. Para isto, foi escolhida uma instituição de ensino superior que reunisse as características necessárias para testar o instrumento. Dentro deste objetivo, propôs-se identificar o perfil dessa população, o nível de satisfação quanto às estruturas físicas e operacionais oferecidas, o nível de satisfação e atitudes perante os obstáculos, bem como os conhecimentos da legislação sobre acessibilidade e a NBR 9050/2004. É um estudo quantitativo-qualitativo, com ênfase no primeiro; exploratório; correlacional e transversal. A amostra foi composta por 18 alunos, sendo oito deles com deficiência visual, seis com deficiência física, três com deficiência auditiva e um com dificuldades de aprendizagem. O instrumento construído foi denominado de Escala de Satisfação e Atitudes de Pessoas com Deficiência ESA. Em decorrência do tamanho da amostra, as técnicas estatísticas utilizadas foram no sentido exploratório e não inferencial, portanto, as conclusões são restritas. Verificou-se que as médias dos grupos diferenciaram-se de forma estatisticamente significativa (p=0,065) pelo Teste de Friedman, indicando que há diferenças entre a satisfação estrutural, operacional e psicoafetiva e de atitudes frente aos obstáculos, no grupo estudado, a 90% de confiança. No fator Estrutural, 50% da amostra tendem à satisfação, enquanto os demais se posicionam como tendendo a insatisfação e satisfação, com 25% cada. No fator Operacional, dos que responderam aos itens, 25% estão insatisfeitos, 50% tendem a insatisfação e 25% estão satisfeitos. No fator Psicoafetivo, 25% tendem a satisfação e 75% estão satisfeitos. Quanto às Atitudes perante os obstáculos, 25% apresentam uma certa neutralidade ou preferência para a omissão, enquanto 75% têm atitudes positivas. Com relação ao conhecimento da legislação sobre acessibilidade e à norma NBR 9050/2004 da ABNT, observou-se que os participantes da pesquisa, que indicaram não conhecer a norma (aproximadamente 60%), conhecem pouco da legislação sobre acessibilidade. O inverso ocorre para os que conhecem essa norma, ou seja, todos conhecem muito a legislação sobre acessibilidade, apresentando também menor nível de satisfação estrutural. Os participantes com deficiência visual apresentam maior conhecimento tanto da legislação quanto da NBR 9050/2004. Os alunos com deficiência visual e física apresentam níveis menores de satisfação no fator estrutural. Nesse sentido, eles apresentam níveis menores de satisfação no fator estrutural, e os alunos com deficiência auditiva apresentam menores níveis no fator operacional, principalmente na comunicação com os professores e nas aulas. No entanto, os níveis no fator psicoafetivo e no fator atitudes estão na faixa de satisfação, o que compensa os níveis baixos nos fatores estruturais e operacionais. Portanto, esses achados permitem-nos afirmar que a aplicação de um instrumento que mensure a satisfação do aluno com deficiência no ensino superior é viável e útil, no sentido de avaliar o rumo que a universidade está tomando com relação à garantia do acesso e permanência desse alunado.

It was held in public schools in a city in the central region of São Paulo state. The survey was conducted from 2009 to 2012 in five public schools of basic education. Our entry into this study was accompanied by two questions: from one side analyzes how teachers see the inclusion of students with disabilities who are enrolled in regular school, from the other side get to know how teachers understand about the occurrence of the inclusion in regular school. The theoretical reference on which we based to carry through this study was about issues such as: conception and background of the teachers, curriculum adaptations besides references that would enable is to analyze the discourses of the teachers who are working in elementary and high schools in São Paulo state. Our research question in this study was: how teachers see the school inclusion of students with disabilities enrolled in regular schools in different educational levels? The objectives of the study were: a) Identify how teachers see the school inclusion of students with disabilities included in the regular teaching in state schools for basic education; b) Analyze how they see the process for inclusion of these students; c) understand how the process has been occurring for inclusion in the perspective of teachers who teach classes to students with disabilities in different educational levels; d) Investigate whether the pedagogical practice of teachers working in basic education schools has contributed to the schools inclusion of students with disabilities in regular education. The methodological option was qualitative research whose investigative method was discourse analysis since our target of analysis were the discourse of teachers who are working in the public schools and teach students with disabilities. The results led is to reflect the need to invest in teacher training not only in the initial level, but also in continued education, because it was evident to is vehement necessity of training the teachers to teach students who are attending schools in various levels. Our considerations concerning this study are that if we do not invest in training teachers for initial and continued education, we will definitely find difficulties to promote the inclusion of all people, it doesn t matter whether they are disabled or not in the school premises. / O estudo é resultado da pesquisa de doutoramento intitulada Olhares Docentes sobre inclusão escolar dos estudantes com deficiência na escola Comum , realizado na rede pública estadual de um município da região Central do Estado de São Paulo, desenvolveu-se nos anos de 2009 a 2012, em cinco escolas de Educação Básica da rede estadual de ensino. Nosso ingresso neste estudo foi ladeado por duas indagações: analisar os olhares docentes sobre a inclusão dos estudantes com deficiência que estão matriculados no ensino comum; conhecer qual é a compreensão dos docentes sobre a ocorrência da inclusão na escola comum. O referencial teórico, no qual nos baseamos para realizar este estudo versou sobre questões como: concepção e formação docente, adaptação curricular além de referências que nos possibilitassem analisar os discursos dos docentes que estão atuando na escola comum do ensino básico do Estado de São Paulo. Nossa questão de pesquisa neste estudo foi: que olhares os docentes têm sobre a inclusão escolar dos estudantes com deficiência matriculados na escola comum nos diferentes níveis de ensino? Os objetivos do estudo foram: identificar quais são os olhares dos docentes sobre a inclusão escolar dos estudantes com deficiência incluídos no ensino comum nas escolas estaduais de educação básica; analisar esses olhares sobre o processo de inclusão escolar destes estudantes; compreender como vem ocorrendo o processo de inclusão na perspectiva dos docentes que ministram aulas para estudantes com deficiência nos diferentes níveis de ensino; investigar se a prática pedagógica dos docentes que atuam nas escolas da educação básica tem contribuído para a inclusão escolar dos estudantes com deficiência no ensino comum. A opção metodológica foi pela pesquisa qualitativa cujo método de investigação foi a análise do discurso visto que nosso alvo de análise foram os discursos dos docentes que estão atuando nas escolas públicas da rede estadual de SP. Os procedimentos utilizados se consubstanciaram em notas de campo e em entrevistas semi-estruturadas com 10 docentes que atuam nas escolas da rede estadual ministrando aulas para estudantes com deficiência. Os resultados nos levaram a refletir sobre a necessidade de se investir na formação docente não só em nível inicial, mas também na formação continuada, pois o que os resultados evidenciam é uma veemente necessidade de formação docente para atuar no ensino comum com os estudantes que estão frequentando a escola nos diversos níveis. Nossas considerações acerca desse estudo são as de que se não investirmos na formação docente inicial e continuada, seguramente encontraremos muitas dificuldades para que possamos promover a inclusão de todas as pessoas, sejam elas, com ou sem deficiência no espaço da escola.

To this end, a study was conducted of documentary and bibliographical. In desk research we prioritize both federal, and state and municipal, dealing specifically with ESA; since the national guidelines for Special Education in inclusive education perspective establishing a change in the schooling situation of the target group students in this type of education, and directs all educational systems to make available the services themselves of this service in the regular network. The bibliographic part supported the study on the understanding of the educational work to be done in ESA, with an emphasis on investigation of cognitive processes of students with disabilities. The mechanisms and strategies were selected and the resources to be used by means of educational practices and teacher training to work in this type of education. The research is oriented in the Historic-Cultural Psychology, this reference that in the case of Special Education, it is relevant in order to design for it defended disabled person as someone who should be seen and treated beyond its limitations; be attentive to the limitation that disability can not impose, but the possibilities that may arise. Thus, based on the study conducted, we can say that there are serious difficulties as regards the realization of the ESA, both the enrollment process, but also in the humanization of these subjects. Among many factors that have contributed to this situation, one of them lies related to the interests of capitalist society and, as the school has arranged to meet this system. As a result of investigation, whose epistemological assumptions of this work are conspicuous by humanization of all subjects, it is observed that the school routine, in the execution of educational practice have become even partially. The documentary aspect we noted that the legislation focuses the prerogative of what the practice in its entirety, when considering the context of the current system has not guaranteed. Thus, we conclude that the enforcement of the ESA should be given attention and prepositions in the performance of the special education teachers, both in terms of legislation and in their practice. / Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo estudar a institucionalização do Atendimento Educacional Especializado – AEE no intuito de compreender as contribuições desse serviço para o processo de escolarização dos alunos público-alvo da Educação Especial matriculados no ensino regular. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo de caráter documental e bibliográfico. Na investigação documental priorizamos a legislação tanto federal, como estadual e municipal, que tratam especificamente do AEE; uma vez que as diretrizes nacionais para Educação Especial na perspectiva de educação inclusiva instituem uma modificação da situação de escolarização dos alunos público-alvo dessa modalidade de ensino, e orienta a todos os sistemas educacionais a disponibilizarem os serviços próprios desse atendimento na rede regular. A parte bibliográfica subsidiou o estudo acerca da compreensão do trabalho educativo a ser realizado no AEE, com ênfase na averiguação dos processos de desenvolvimento cognitivo dos alunos com deficiência. Foram selecionados os mecanismos e estratégias, bem como os recursos a serem utilizados por meio das práticas educativas e da formação de professores para atuarem nesta modalidade de ensino. A pesquisa está orientada na Psicologia Histórico-Cultural, referencial este que, ao se tratar da área da Educação Especial, torna-se relevante tendo em vista a concepção por ela defendida de pessoa com deficiência, como alguém que deve ser visto e tratado para além de suas limitações; não se atenta à limitação que a deficiência pode impor, mas às possibilidades que possam advir. Assim, com base no estudo desenvolvido, podemos dizer que existem sérias dificuldades, no que se refere à efetivação do AEE, tanto no processo de escolarização como também na humanização desses sujeitos. Entre inúmeros fatores que tem contribuído para esse quadro, um deles encontra-se relacionado aos interesses da sociedade capitalista e, como a escola tem se organizado para atender a esse sistema. Como resultado da investigação, cujos pressupostos epistemológicos desse trabalho primam pela humanização de todos os sujeitos, é observado que na rotina da escola, na efetivação da prática educativa apresentam-se ainda de forma parcial. Do aspecto documental evidenciamos que a legislação incide uma prerrogativa daquilo que a prática na sua totalidade, ao considerar a conjuntura do sistema vigente, não tem garantido. Assim, concluímos que a efetivação do AEE deve ser alvo de atenção e de preposições na atuação dos professores da Educação Especial, tanto no que se refere à legislação, como na sua prática pedagógica
