Ensino de Geografia e educação especial além das montanhas do preconceito

Abstract

In this work, a supervised internship experience is reported in the Licentiate Degree in Geography at the Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL), which took place in a Basic Education school in the city of Delmiro Gouveia - AL. The classes that were the target of the pedagogical action contained students with special educational needs, on whom attention and adequacy of the pedagogical practice were necessary. The research problem that arose during our stay at that school and that supported the production of this work was: how can geography content be added to inclusive education, in order to facilitate learning for students with special educational needs? In order to answer this question, this research had as main objective to analyze how the contents of geography can be approached in the regular classroom, with a view to including students with special educational needs. We sought to contextualize the legal aspects and historical milestones to elucidate the school's rights in the face of these needs, as well as to discuss the importance of the supervised internship in the Geography course. In this context, the methodological path resulting from the interventions carried out in the classroom and described here was traced. Therefore, there was a need for pedagogical practice combined with play, group activities and mutual socialization between teachers and students.
