Abstract

ABSTRACT: Research demonstrates that minorities' children diagnosed with Emotional and Behavioural Disorders is overrepresented, being the ethnic minorities the most affected. The diagnostics have resulted in racism and discrimination. This article reflects upon the necessity to develop more integrated and dynamic models of inclusion for the schools. Based on Vygotsky´s ideas, a reflexion is done regarding the emotional education in schools, specifically about the need to include -in the teacher formation- the main role of the culture emotional rules in the dynamic of exclusion/inclusion of minorities. The article concludes with proposals to be considered for a culturally sensible vision on inclusion.RESUMO: pesquisas demonstram que crianças pertencentes a grupos minoritários com diagnóstico de transtornos emocionais e comportamentais estão superrepresentadas, sendo as minorias étnicas as mais afetadas. Os diagnósticos resultaram em racismo e discriminação. Este artigo reflete sobre a necessidade de desenvolver modelos de inclusão mais integrados e dinâmicos para as escolas. Com base nas ideias de Vygotsky, faz-se uma reflexão sobre a educação emocional nas escolas, especificamente sobre a necessidade de incluir - na formação de professores - o papel principal das regras culturais emocionais na dinâmica de exclusão / inclusão de minorias. O artigo conclui com propostas a serem consideradas para uma visão culturalmente sensata sobre inclusão.
