Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Pedagogia EaD) - Centro de Educação, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Luís Gomes, 2025.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/62360This study investigates the challenges faced by teachers in public schools in Luís Gomes-RN in promoting the inclusion of students with special needs, analyzing the effectiveness of the inclusive practices adopted. It is grounded in the inclusion principles of Mantoan (2003, 2006), Sassaki (1997), Rodrigues (2006), Freire (2002), and the contributions of Vygotsky (2011), Carvalho (2005), and Gil (2002). The methodology involved the application of a semi-structured online questionnaire, with 11 quantitative and qualitative questions, sent via WhatsApp to the directors of the institutions and answered by 26 teachers from Early Childhood Education and the early years of Elementary School. The results indicate that, although there is awareness of the importance of inclusion, the main challenges include the lack of adapted teaching resources, the absence of specialized professionals, the need for continuous teacher training, and resistance from students and families to the inclusion process. Also highlighted is the overload of teachers in heterogeneous classrooms, especially in schools located in rural areas. As solutions, participants suggest increasing adapted pedagogical resources, strengthening the family-school partnership, and implementing practical training for teachers. It is concluded that the effectiveness of school inclusion requires public policies that ensure adequate support, continuous educator training, and inclusive pedagogical strategies.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Inclusão escolarSchool inclusionEscola inclusivaInclusive schoolAlunos com necessidades especialStudents with special needsEducação regularRegular educationDesafios educacionalEducational challengesEducação inclusivainclusive educationbachelorThesis
