Agente de apoio ao desenvolvimento escolar especial AADEE: Um Profissional da Educação Sob Múltiplos Olhares

Abstract

The research presented in this paper falls within the field of public policies for the inclusion of people with disabilities, with emphasis on the field of Education. Our object of study is the position of Support Agent for Special School Development, for being a new position in the Municipal Network of Education of the City of Recife. The choice of the theme Special Agent for Support to Special School Development – SEDSA: a professional of the education from multiple perspectives, emerges from the reflection on my field of professional performance, since I find myself performing this function, and from the observation of the professional exercise in that same field in others educational units, which raised the possibility of seeking responses backed by the scientific rigor of the field of research, such as: Being a new position in the public school system of the city of Recife, what is the perception that SEDSA has of its own performance? What is the perception of the other professionals who are directly connected to the SEDSA in the school environment, do they have this new position? We then draw as a general objective to identify the perception that the SEDSA and those who are directly linked to it, in the exercise of its function, have on its performance. We also sought to verify the main difficulties encountered by SEDSA in its support to students with disabilities, and also to present the perceptions of the research subjects, in a quantitative way, based on the information provided by them, and then make inferences of a qualitative nature. Our research is of a qualitative and quantitative nature, a characteristic that is configured in the scope of methodological course adopted which contemplates content analysis as a treatment procedure of the data collected. The research carried out brought us some surprising results, related to the performance of the SEDSA in the pedagogical area; the precarious training of teachers in the exercise of teaching in Special Education, teachers who do not work in specialized school attendance, among others. Finally, we made our final considerations discussing some of the problems and discrepancies found in the search results. Based on the findings, this study does not pretend to present itself as ready and finished, but rather instigates new concerns, new responses to the same concerns with the prospect of feeding other relevant studies to the analysis of this post, which, because it is new in public teaching networks, suggests a certain novelty as a fertile field to epistemological discoveries related to the pedagogical, sociological and political field of the formation of cadres for action in the educational sector.
