Abstract

This study has the purpose to understand the integration process of people with visual disabilities (PWD) in the context of the Inclusive Professional Education perspective, in one of the teaching units at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Pará (IFPA), during the training level of the Integrated Technical High School in the period from 2009 to 2012. The difficulties of studying everyday social events in your present moment, are amplified when we are part of the experience, even considering the care and separation required by the academic rigor and the scientific research on this issue. However, in the discussions of this work, contemporary approaches as: the relationship between social and academic inclusion and the professional education in the Federal Institutes (FIs) are necessary for better understanding of the practices of inclusion for people with disabilities in educational settings focused on technical training today. Therefore, data were collected relevant to the issue in the largest and oldest professional education unit of the IFPA, the Campus Belém, revealing, with greater depth, the analysis of a four-year school life of a student with visual disabilities, in his technical training, highlighting some landmarks of the institution, including the advent of the Federal Law 9.394/1996 (LDB). The study is characterized by an exploratory research approach, which is used in combination with the life history of the student and the case study, like basic research strategies which, in its turn, fit into the theoretical-methodological context of History and Memory of Education. The mainly data collection instrument was the interview, conducted with the use of half-structured questions, document analysis and participant observation in the sources, many of them oral sources - reports of a student with DV - were analyzed in an articulate manner. Besides the theoretical base, grounded in authors like Tompson, Vasconcelos, Sassaki, Caiado, Saviane, Manfred, Ciavatta, Mols, Laville and Dione, and others, the analysis and systematization of the data were performed by electing the more applicants analytical categories to the report sources in relation to the IFPA’s pedagogic practices in the visual integration of PCD, such as the specialized educational services, teacher training and the organization and management of the educational environment, among others. The results indicate that the conditions existing in the educational practices of GCBEL / IFPA are situated in relationship of the educational services subdued PWD which features in a identity character, and still predominant, marked by a transitional movement between the practices of ideological reasoning Integration and other Inclusion of education, and this prevalence is evident, among others, the idea that access to and retention of PCD in regular classes is a prerogative of those considered most adapted in this characterization of this student, or that it must adapt to school and not vice-versa, and that even with limited progress, educational practices, from the perspective of a professional education inclusive, need to be (re)structured as a systemic mode by the entire educational community and society, so that one can really guarantee the right education for all, not just for the PCD.
