A política pública de educação do município de Manaus: o atendimento educacional especializado na organização escolar

Abstract

The object of this investigation is to study Education Public Policy in the Municipality of Manaus: the special classes in school organization. The focus selected for analysis was a school of the City Department of Education of Manaus, in Amazonas state. The context of this research is delimited by the actions of public education policy in Brazil, influenced/agreed by neoliberal policies in regular schools. The National Policy on Special Education in an Inclusive Perspective of 2008, established by the Decree No. 6.571/08 and the Resolution No. 04/09, effected the specialized education in the Multifunctional Resource Room of common schools. This implementation evoked the interest of this research, specifically to identify how specialized educational services are developed in the resource room, aiming at students autonomy and independence. The study sought to ensure whether the school s accessibility and learning resources are articulated with the Inclusive National Policy Guidelines. In this social research, with theoretical and practical approach, based on the study of several authors, such as Bauman (2007), Kumar (1997), Carvalho (1999, 2007), Mantoan (2006, 2010), Manzini (2008), Wallonia (1968) and others, we chose the dialectical method and case study with a qualitative approach, classified as exploratory and descriptive. The procedures constituted bibliographical, documental and field researches. The instruments of data collection were: patternless interview and field observation. From the data analysis, we have concluded that the specialized educational services have begun to happen in regular schools as a right, through the determination of some teachers, managers and engineers who believe in the possibility of designing inclusive education to be effective in the city of Manaus. In this economic globalization scenario, the State has not guaranteed the right to specialized educational services, present in the many pedagogical, accessibility and educational resources difficulties found in loco. Thus, further discussions, researches, educational and social pressures are necessary, in order to the right to educational services to be solidified by the State in the city of Manaus.
