Abstract
This study investigated Specialized Educational Assistance (AEE) in the context of Professional and Technological Education (EPT), on the campuses of the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais (IFMG). The objective of the research was to analyze the performance of the AEE professional in the context of EPT on the IFMG campuses. To achieve this purpose, the following specific objectives were developed: i) list the theoretical-legal foundations of Special Education and Inclusive Education in Brazil and Minas Gerais; ii) identify policies for the inclusion of Special Education students in the context of EPT; iii) define how the AEE professional works on the IFMG campuses; iv) develop a training video for AEE professionals who work on EPT courses. Regarding the methodology, the study fits into a qualitative perspective, as it combined documentary analysis of notices and hiring rules for AEE professionals, in addition to semi-structured interviews carried out with eight professionals from the same area of activity mentioned. This approach was chosen to identify both the normative perspective and the practical experiences of professionals, being supported by theoretical references from experts in the field of inclusion, such as Carvalho (2005), Mazzotta (1982) and Mantoan (2003; 2006). The results analysis was carried out according to Bardin's content analysis (1977) and divided into 03 (three) categories. The results obtained from the interviews indicated significant challenges, such as the lack of adequate resource rooms for AEE professionals, which limits their autonomy and effectiveness, as well as indicating deficiencies in communication and collaboration with the regular teaching staff, which negatively impact the integration of students with disabilities. Furthermore, it was possible to identify the need for improvements in the support infrastructure and collaboration dynamics within the Federal Institutes, with a view to facilitating more effective inclusion. Regarding strategies to mitigate these challenges and promote more effective inclusive education, a product was developed in a training video format, the purpose of which was to provide information about the role and practices of AEE professionals, clarifying their responsibilities and the techniques used in supporting students. The video, created using graphic arts, colors and content related to IFMG, included a graphic character that represented the author in the speeches, serving as a continuous training resource for practicing professionals and as informative material for the entire interested educational community. in improving inclusion in EFA. The video was widely disseminated, being sent to the NAPNEs of the 18 IFMG campuses, to the Inclusive Policies and Diversity and Inclusion sectors of the IFMG Rectory, as well as to AEE professionals from other institutions and to undergraduate and PROFEPT apprentices. After watching the video, participants responded to a questionnaire evaluating the educational product, which allowed the material to be re-elaborated based on the suggestions received. It is worth noting that this research contributed to the dialogue on inclusive education in EPT, and the conclusions, together with the proposed educational product, inspired substantial improvements in educational practices and policies aimed at the inclusion of students with SEN in EPT.
