ADAPTED SPORTS WITHIN AN INCLUSIVE PERSPECTIVE: Developing a Didactic Unit in Teaching Physical Education in High School classes 

Adapted Sport; Inclusive Physical Education; School inclusion.

This study focuses on the teaching of the Adapted Sport theme within an inclusive perspective, with this inclusion being seen more broadly. The general objective of this study was the collective construction, implementation and evaluation of a didactic unit with the use of adapted sport within an inclusive perspective in Physical Education classes in High School. The specific objectives were: 1- Diagnosing and Identifying the perception and experiences of students on the thematic unit adapted sport in Physical Education classes in elementary school; 2- Develop a didactic unit on adapted sport within an inclusive perspective as a pedagogical tool in Physical Education classes in High School; 3- Evaluate a didactic unit on adapted sport within an inclusive perspective in Physical Education classes in High School. A field study of the research-action type was carried out, using the descriptive qualitative method in a school of the State Education Network of Ceará, located in Fortaleza, with 64 male and female students from two classes of the 3rd Year A and B of High School. The instruments used were: a) participant observation of Physical Education classes, through the use of a field diary; b) 02 questionnaires, 01 about the understanding of the students regarding the Adapted Sport obtained in Elementary School; 01 to Evaluate a didactic unit on adapted sport within an inclusive perspective in Physical Education classes in High School. The research was approved with the opinion of the Brasil platform nº 5,678,415. The results were divided into: analysis of the diagnostic questionnaire; description of the pedagogical intervention; analysis of the evaluative questionnaire, final considerations, observing whether the objectives outlined by the investigation were achieved, and verifying the notes that led us to the construction of this didactic unit. The theme had its relevance when we were able to verify the gains acquired from the students through the implementation of the research project. The answers obtained in the diagnostic questionnaire confirmed that the vast majority of students did not have access to content in previous grades. The answers obtained in the evaluation questionnaire made us perceive an awakening by the admiration and recognition of the other for their differences. The students were able to relate the Adapted Sport theme with inclusion in an expanded way. This content was described by all as essential to be taught in high school and also in elementary school.
