A inclusão como foco da pesquisa no Ensino de Ciências: uma análise dos anais do ENPEC

Abstract

The present research carried out a study in the works published in the minutes of the National Meeting of Research in Education in Sciences (ENPEC), in the editions of the years of 2011, 2013 and 2015. The objective of the research was to investigate the approach of the theme Inclusion in researches of Sciences of Nature in the annals of said event. The study was based on the conceptions of authors such as Fonseca (1990); Noronha and Pinto (2013); Mathias (2009); among others, in relation to School Inclusion and the Special Education modality. They also underpinned the study, the National Guidelines for Basic Education, as well as national policies for Special Education. With a qualitative approach, the work is characterized in relation to the procedures as bibliographic research, based on Gil (2007). To analyze the results obtained, the theory of Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2015) was used. The results indicate that the research related to the area of Natural Sciences on Inclusive Education in Basic Education, although not yet quantitatively significant, has been growing in recent years. The results showed a greater number of researches on the subject in the area of Physics, and the visual deficiency was contemplated in most of the selected abstracts of the study. Much of the work found in the annals of ENPEC on the subject describes different methodologies and didactic materials for inclusion in the classes of Nature Sciences. We also found research aimed at the continuing education of educators about inclusion. It is hoped that the research data will contribute to the work of teachers in the field of Natural Sciences, assisting them in practices that allow true school inclusion, to enforce the law, which guarantees quality education, with fairness, of free of charge for the population.
