Estudo analítico de publicações sobre EaD na educação especial como ferramenta pedagógica

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze distance learning in Brazil and its use in special education as school inclusion. For this, a study and a bibliographic survey on the subject were carried out in periodicals, national scientific magazines and books for the present discussion. It is observed that distance learning is a modality in constant growth in Brazil, and the new information and communication technologies can contribute to education, becoming a possibility of inclusion in the teaching and learning process. However, the inclusion of subjects with some deficiency is still happening, because before the possibilities and perspectives, and the advances, it requires greater participation of the public agents through public policies. In order for special education and school inclusion to take place in an effective way, it is necessary for the teacher to be able to remain in a continuous formation, thereby attending to the disabled in the teaching and learning processes, that is, the teacher must be in constant learning . Distance learning has proved to be an alternative with good results in the education of the special education teacher. However, according to the survey, we observed that there are no reports of the use of distance learning as a possibility in special education for access and inclusion of subjects with some disability, but for the initial and continued formation of distance learning teacher and educator, it has been used as a possible means to professionals with more skills and competences in special education.
