A diversidade na universidade: a presença dos estudantes com deficiência no ensino superior

Abstract

This academic work aims to present an exploratory research at the Federal University of Pampa - UNIPAMPA / Bage - RS, where we investigate about the process of inclusion and exclusion of students with disabilities in the classroom context and in other areas of the institution. This study aims to present a theoretical and conceptual reflection based on analysis of information provided by participants during the data collection. Data collection was done by applying a questionnaire as well as an interview. So, through these two research instruments we realize what reasons and factors contribute to the occurrence of the (in) - exclusion of students with disabilities in higher education. Another goal was to give voice to these students in order to identify which perceptions and inclusion of concepts are presented by them and how they feel at the University. This study also presents a focused discussion on the inclusion of people with disabilities at the University, since the presence of these students is still a major challenge in higher education, especially when it comes to education in inclusive perspective.
