Abstract

The study on inclusion in the different spheres of education appears to be a challenge in the definition of a specific theoretical framework and scientific studiesIt reveals itself as a field of research rich in opportunities and beauties to be observed. The present dissertation aims to diagnose the reality of inclusion in Higher Education evaluating the conditions of accessibility and equity from the perception of undergraduate students.It was carried out in two stages at the first moment, aiming at the diagnosis of the reality of inclusion, evaluating the conditions of accessibility and equity from the perception of undergraduate students. In the second stage, he investigated the role of teacher education in inclusive practice. In order to validate the results before the data collection stages, contextualization activities were carried out with undergraduate students in Nature Sciences in a class that accompanies the reality of the inclusive process of a student with Visual Impairment.The study was carried out in the year 2018 and for the analysis of the results, the Discursive Textual Analysis was used. According to the results it is highlighted that the difficulties presented in Higher Education are not far from Regular Education. Among them the need for adjustments, investments in material and human resources, but mainly teacher formation. With regard to distance learning between theory and practice still seems to be one of the greatest challenges for inclusive education. From these results it is concluded that there is an emerging need for structural and cultural changes in relation to inclusion, starting with the curriculum of undergraduate courses. However, it is always necessary to point out that the greatest difficulty is still to understand the disabled student as a subject capable of developing skill and learning. In this sense, it is possible to affirm that for structural, pedagogical and formative changes to take place, cultural change must precede and consolidate.
