Educação especial sob a ótica da transdisciplinaridade: um novo olhar no acolhimento discente

Abstract

Initially characterized by segregative and clinical therapeutic care, Special Education has evolved into a model of inclusion, which was strengthened by the National Policy on Special Education from the Perspective of Inclusive Education (2008). Inclusive education proposes the coexistence of students with and without disabilities in the same school environment, guaranteeing the right to education without discrimination. In this context, we present the concept of welcoming as a promoter of breaking down attitudinal barriers through a relationship based on empathy, justice, and otherness, and transdisciplinarity as an approach that integrates different areas of knowledge, expanding the perception of human beings and promoting more humane educational care. Therefore, the focus of this study is to understand Special Education from the perspective of transdisciplinarity, proposing a new model of student welcoming that aims to meet educational needs in a more inclusive and effective manner. The article uses qualitative research with a literature review, investigating how a transdisciplinary perspective can contribute to the development of the teaching competencies necessary to transform their practices and promote an inclusive school environment.
