Diálogos entre Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Educação Especial e Currículo

Abstract

-Dialogues between Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Special Education and Curriculum. This study aims to bring together special education and the production by Boaventura de Sousa Santos. It seeks to understand how the author's theories contributed to the education of children with disabilities, pervasive developmental disorders, and high-potential/ giftedness in regular schools. We analyze major concepts of the author's thoughts and how they can be approached regarding premises of special education from the perspective of school inclusion. Also, we present an experiment of continuing education carried out with elementary education teachers to rethink the implication of school curricula for special education students.
