Garantia da formação para a educação especial: o professor formador

Abstract

it is observed that the discussion regarding the formation of teachers directed to the special education gains force from the decade of 1990 with the several laws emphasizing the necessity that this discussion is realized. If we take into account the legal texts, we can consider that the education of the students targeted by special education is leading to a promising future, however, when we observe the reality of the school, teachers and students, we find that the law, in theory is a guarantee of human rights, has neither secured nor proportionate conditions for such. Based on this idea, the objective of this article is to explain if the professors of the biological sciences, physics and chemistry of the state of Goiás experienced an initial or continuing formation that discussed special education. This is a qualitative research with a theoretical basis in the historical-cultural approach, having as main tool of data construction the interview with coordinators of natural science courses. Data that were analyzed and organized into categories based on Discursive Textual Analysis. The data show us that most of the training teachers did not experience the discussion of special education at any time, neither during their formation nor during the exercise of teaching which leads us to believe in the need to provide this continuous training on the subject, as way of ensuring initial quality training.
