Early Childhood Education, Inclusive Education, Physical Education.
Understand the interface between physical education and the inclusion of children with disabilities in the context of early childhood education. Also, present a historical, political and educational overview of physical education in the early childhood education stage and the educational inclusion of people with disabilities in Brazil; Examine academic production that deals with physical education and the inclusion of people with disabilities in early childhood education; Investigate the articulation of national and municipal public educational policies aimed at the inclusion of children with disabilities in early childhood education; and Analyze the extent to which pedagogical practices in physical education at an early childhood education school in Seropédica are close to or distant from the inclusive education perspective brought by national and municipal documents. In this dissertation, we assume the qualitative dimension of research to identify and interpret social phenomena related to the triad: physical education, early childhood education and inclusive education. To this end, it is built on three types of methods, namely: bibliographical research, to meet the requirements of the first specific objective; documentary research, to enable the second specific objective; and field research to enable the execution of the third specific objective. In this way, we organized it into three chapters, each of which is connected based on the specific objectives defined for the research.
