SUMMARY:

Based on the challenges present in the school context related to the enrollment and permanence of students who are the target audience of Special Education, as well as the proposal for the restructuring of Brazilian High School education, this study aims to analyze the didactic and pedagogical guidelines for the development of the curricular component “Life Project,” with a focus on students with disabilities, in a public school within the State Education Network of Rio Grande do Norte (RN).

To achieve this objective, we conducted a qualitative study with a descriptive and exploratory profile, using documentary research, observation, and investigation as instruments. Through thematic analysis, we sought to highlight the central themes emerging from the participants’ statements in semi-structured interviews.

For the theoretical framework, we relied on legal discussions concerning the equal right to education (Brazil, 1988), the Brazilian Law for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (Brazil, 2015), and the curricular restructuring of High School Education (Brazil, 2018). This study also draws upon contributions from historical-cultural psychology (Vygotsky, 1995) and the concept of educational inclusion (Mantoan, 2003; Martins, 2008).

During the observation phase and, especially, throughout the interviews, all study participants pointed out the difficulties and gaps in pedagogical practice concerning the planning and implementation of the “Life Project” curricular component for students with disabilities in mainstream classrooms.

From this, our proposed product emerged — a Formative Guide containing guidelines for teacher training and lesson planning related to the development of the Life Project for students with disabilities. As a suggestion, once validated by the school community, this product will be incorporated into the documents of the institution studied and subsequently presented to other schools in the State Education Network, through the Sub-coordination of Special Education (SUESP/RN) and other national instances.

May this Guide contribute significantly to students by fostering collective construction among peers and teachers alike. Furthermore, it is hoped that, after completing High School, students will find diverse opportunities — including access to higher education — while envisioning participation in the world of work and other social spaces where they can truly feel like protagonists.
