A gestão pedagógica nos diferentes espaços da Escola de Educação Especial São Francisco de Assis - APAE

Abstract

The special education is a field of knowledge in development and for the last decades has proved its relevance through studies, scientific researches and public policies. In this way, this research figures as a study about the pedagogical management in special education. The overall objective for this work is to recognise the characteristics and possible relations between the pedagogical management employed to different teaching spaces in the Escola de Educação Especial São Francisco de Assis - APAE. The theoretical contribution is based on Ferreira (2008), Vieire (2007) and Vigotsky (1989). Aiming to answer this problematic, and thus recognising the pedagogical management put into practice in those different teaching spaces of the school, a qualitative research was developed. Data was collected through questionnaires filled by four professionals of the school, of which three were in charge of class activities and one was responsible for Specialized Educational Services (Assistência Educacional Especializada - AEE). This research showed how similarly staff approaches disabled students regardless the different spaces in which they might be insert in the school, noting a constant necessity for a pedagogical management that recognises the disabled student as an unique individual with unique specificities and needs.
