Mudanças, motivos e (re)significações: um estudo sobre a construção dos novos olhares de uma instituição educacional especializada frente à inclusão escolar

Abstract

This article aims to understand the changes in conceptions experienced by the Association of Parents and Friends of the Exceptional-APAE / Maranguape, in the period from 2010 to 2013, regarding the school inclusion of students who are the target audience of special education. The theoretical foundation is anchored in Vygotsky and Leontiev, that integrate the so-called historical-cultural Psychology Soviet or socio-historical. It is a qualitative research whose design is the case study. It was sought to understand the singularities existing in the processes of resignification elaborated by the researched institution. The results showed that the construction of the new meaning that permeates and underlies the new knowledge and practices of the institution, were built through the internal relationship of its members with other ways of thinking special education. This new view points to the right of special education students to be included in regular schools as the main resource for mediation of their learning.
