À beira da quadra: os olhares sobre a inclusão nas aulas de educação física e os anseios por uma educação para a diversidade

Abstract

The reason for carrying out this research was my concern about the segragation of people whith desabilities at Physical Education classes, leading to they’re poor participatin, when they are in the class but not being included, or non participation at all. I then go to the field to comprehend, based on debates, dynamics and research notes how can we (researcher, teacher and students) can evolve a pedagogical resource that support us at being inclusive by promoting pratices and experiences of inclusion at Physical Education Classes. Dialoguing with the authors, I discuss how different ways of participating can enchance Physical Education Classes. This discussion also brings recletions between notions of normality, legal instruments that support the participation of everyone in class and how the unterstending and expertise at those knowledge areas are important to engage at inclusive pratices to being able to promote inclusion at school. For the field intervention, I was inspired by the social research tool called Pesquisa-ação and, using some of this tools strategies, I ivited teachers and students to think about inclusion at their realities. Finally, I pressent my way into constructing the pedagogical resource, result of this research, as well as the changes ocurred during my intervantions at the school. The resource is an interactive object-book called Fazer e Conhecer: a Educação Física nas Diferenças, wich can be used by both teachers and students and comes in the form of an invitation to being receptive to the diversity of bodies, abilities, potentialities and possibilities of participate at Physical Education classes. This work intends to deconstruct the idea that in Physical Educatio classes, there in only one way to participate and that it is exclusively attached to have a perfect, or able or skillful body, once that idea ends up excluding and segregating those who do not fit these expectations.
