Educação física escolar: esportes adaptados para a inclusão de alunos com deficiência

Abstract

Introduction: The inclusion of students with disabilities in adapted sports not only benefits physical development, but also promotes awareness, acceptance of diversity and breaking down stigmas. This contributes to creating a more inclusive, equitable and diverse school environment, where there is a need for adaptations in teachers' pedagogical practices, aiming to provide students with disabilities with real opportunities for learning and development at school. Objective: Promote practical adapted sports actions in Physical Education classes at a school in the Municipal Education network in the city of Feira Grande/AL. Methodology: This is a qualitative study, aimed at Physical Education teachers in the city of Feira Grande/AL and students in the 7th year “A” class of Elementary School II. As an instrument for data production, we used a semi-structured interview, in addition to collaborative action with the Physical Education teacher in the research work. Results: It is expected, therefore, that this study can contribute to promoting the inclusion of students with disabilities, through adapted sports and learning in the Physical Education discipline, with active participation in the acquisition of physical and social skills. Final consideration: This experience highlights the importance of enabling teachers to adapt methodologies so that all students can participate in school activities, regardless of their limitations. Therefore, adapted sports prove to be a powerful inclusion tool, helping to build a more inclusive and welcoming school environment, which values diversity and contributes to training in a more fair and egalitarian way.
