A educação de jovens e adultos e a inclusão de alunos com deficiência intelectual

Abstract

This research is the result of a course completion work in Special Education linked to the Education Center, of the Federal University of Santa Maria. Its general objective is accomplish a bibliographical research in order to deepen the theory on youth and adult education and the inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities. The theoretical foundation of this work is based on authors such as Mazzotta, Silva and Menezes, Edler, among others. The methodological approach of the work consists of a bibliographical research with a qualitative proposal. At first, I selected texts related to the theme. Subsequently, I read them in full and analyzed how inclusion has been taking place according to the behaviors of youth and adult education teachers who were present in the texts. As a general result of this research, I observed that the inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities in young and adult education has not actually been taking place, for reasons such as infantilization and the lack of adequate training for teachers.
