Vocational Special Education

The experiences and perceptions that people with intellectual disability (ID) who have participated in vocational education have about their study paths is a less studied theme in Finland and also internationally. The purpose of this research was to find out whether their transitions from basic education to vocational education have been successful in their opinion and how their parents perceived the study paths. The purpose of this research was to analyze the study paths of young adults with ID and their school experiences as described by themselves and their parents. The focus was on memories of basic education, transition to vocational education, and studies at the vocational special education school. The research participants comprised 14 young adults with ID (aged 17-23, 10 boys and 4 girls) and their parents (N= 14). They all had personal study plans in basic education, and except for one, they all had completed basic education according to their study plans. The research leaned on the narrative research approach. The youngsters and their parents were interviewed personally in 2012 and 2014. The study paths of young people with ID could be grouped into three narratives: the fluent, complex, and interrupted study paths. Study success in young people with ID is a sum of many factors. The study illustrates four core factors directing the study processes: the student, school community, curriculum, and teacher. In addition, support from home is extremely important to the fluency of study paths. The purpose of education should be to prepare train, rehabilitate, and guide students with ID into good life that includes work, health, and relationships. Based on this study, educational options for people with ID are limited and should be developed so that secondary education would educate future experts to work markets and promote learning and societal participation in the young who need special support. Key words: intellectual disability, narrative research, vocational special education, personal study plan, study path.

A formação permanente é um elemento necessário da atividade docente. A parceria com a universidade no provimento dessa formação tem aproximado a academia da educação básica, relação essa tão importante para novas pesquisas, bem como para melhorar a formação inicial. Dentre os diferentes desenhos de formação, um pouco considerado é a formação por área, que foca as especificidades do público-alvo da Educação Especial. Nesse sentido, um curso de especialização de 18 meses na modalidade semipresencial contribuiu para que 600 professores e gestores da rede estadual de ensino de São Paulo acessassem o conhecimento produzido nas áreas das deficiências auditiva, intelectual, física, visual, do transtorno global do desenvolvimento e das altas habilidades ou superdotação. Os participantes avaliaram que o curso contribuiu para suas atividades docentes e para reflexões importantes do cotidiano escolar, como a necessidade dos projetos político-pedagógicos incorporarem em seus textos políticas, culturas e prá- ticas mais inclusivas. Outro aspecto importante apontando foi a necessidade de mudança na organização do trabalho pedagógico para atender com qualidade a singularidade de cada estudante, pois é a escola que precisa se transformar para promover ensino, de tal modo que todos aprendam. Por outro lado, ficou evidenciada a dificuldade leitora e escritora de parte dos cursistas ao elaborar o trabalho acadêmico requerido ao final do curso, algo relevante em se tratando de professores da educação básica.Palavras-chave: Educação Especial, Inclusão Escolar, Avanços e entraves. Teacher Training in Special Education in Distance Learning Modality: some Notes on Six Specialization Courses Abstract Ongoing formation is a necessary element of teaching activity. The partnership with the university in providing this training has approached the basic education, a very important relationship for new research, as well as to improve initial training. Among the different training designs, training by area is hardly considered, specially focusing on the specificities of the target audience of special education. In this sense, a specialization course of 18 months in the semi-presencial modality contributed to 600 teachers and managers of the state education network from State of São Paulo to access the knowledge produced in the areas of hearing, intellectual, physical and visual impairments, global development disorder and high abilities. The participants evaluated that the course contributed to their teaching activities and to important reflections of the daily school life, such as the need for pedagogical political projects to incorporate more inclusive policies, cultures and practices into their texts. The need to change the organization of pedagogical work in order to meet the quality of each students singularity was another important aspect pointed, since the school should be transformed to promote teaching in a way that provides learning to everyone. Besides that, participants difficulty in reading and writing was evident in their final paper, which was required at the end of the course, and revels a relevant concerning regarding to teachers of basic education.Keywords: Special education, School inclusion, Advances and obstacles
