O perfil de estudantes com laudo médico em uma escola estadual de ensino médio: transformando preconceitos em patologias

Abstract

The present research carried out in the year 2020 aimed to know the profile of students with a medical diagnosis in a State High School in the municipality of Serra, Espírito Santo. A documentary study was developed, which allowed the analysis of enrollment forms and medical reports of 21 high school students. The data collection showed that all the students in the research were part of the school's Specialized Educational Service. Of these, 71% were male. As for racial data, 61% declared to be brown or black. As for the diagnoses, 57% had the diagnosis of Mental Retardation, which, added to the 19% with Intellectual/Cognitive Disability, totaling76% of the students surveyed. It was concluded that, according to the profile of the students and the diagnoses identified, there seemed to be in the school and in the medical diagnoses a conception that points to the naturalization of human development from perspectives crossed by biological and individualizing determinants. This shows that, as in several other studies, the school routine has been constituted through a history marked by prejudice and homogenization, in which black and poor boys are the ones who suffer most from this logic.
