Dissertação (Mestrado em Educação Física) - Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2021.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/49057This paper aims to analyze whether students with disabilities feel included in Physical Education classes, taking into consideration the many possibilities this curricular component has to offer to the body and, therefore, its importance to an inclusive education. In order to reache the general objective, we have as specific objectives, to identify through the analysis of the student’s speech, whether or not he feels included in Physical Education classes and to know and understand the reasons that make him feel include or not in theses classes. Thus, this research has a qualitative approach and is characterized as a case study. This study was carried out at a State Center for Professional Education with a deaf student enrolled in high school. Data collection occurred through a semi-structured interview that took place through a virtual platform, due to the measures of social distancing necessary at the time. The data obtained was analyzed using the Bardin Content Analysis method. The results show that sports are still the predominant content in Physical Education classes and that integration is often mistaken for inclusion. Therefore, this study shows that it is essential to understand the importance of overcoming the sports approach in Physical Education and to assimilate that inclusive education goes beyond inserting all students in the same environment, since it is characterized as a change in educational perspective and provides for all students meaningful learning experiences respecting their limitations and exploring their potential. It is a construction based on listening, exchange and respect for the autonomy of the students. Despite having been built from a small perspective of reality, this research points to need for joint reflection from those responsible for teaching Physical Education at school, on the pedagogical practice, so that it can advance in the realization of an inclusive education and of a Physical Education beyond sports.Acesso AbertoEducação físicaDeficiênciaInclusãoEducação física escolarmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::EDUCACAO FISICA
