Abstract

The objective of this study was to research on the construction of the professional development of teachers, as well as the formations and the inclusive experiences that transformed them into teachers of Special and Inclusive Education, from narratives of teachers from the municipality of Montenegro/RS. In order to participate in the research, five teachers of the municipal network, who work in Basic Education, were chosen, performing the Specialized Educational Assistance in the Multifunctional Resource Rooms. The qualitative study was theoretically based on Benjamin, Freire, Aranha, Batista, Edler Carvalho, Fernandes, Jesus, Josso, Jovchelovitch & Bauer, Lüdke and André, Mantoan, Marcelo Garcia, Mazzota, Minayo, Montero, Nóvoa, Osório Marques , Pimenta, Sarmento, Sassaki, Tardif and Lessard, among others. From the analysis process, it was possible to identify four dimensions: a) Professional initiation; b) Training and professional experience; c) Special and Inclusive Education and Professional Development; and d) Professional (trans) formations. The findings of this research present the possibilities and the paths found in the form of four thematic syntheses. The first thematic synthesis indicated the dialogues and the reflections on the professional initiation and the motivations for the professional choice. The second thematic synthesis revealed the dialogues and reflections about the formation and the professional experience, that imply a personal investment, a free and creative work on the own routes and the projects, with a view to the construction of an identity, that is also a professional identity. The third thematic synthesis brought the dialogues and reflections on special and inclusive education and professional development, in which special education is understood as a resource that benefits all students and that crosses the work of all teachers, and it is necessary to propose inclusive alternatives for education and not just for schools. And the fourth and last thematic synthesis, refers to the dialogues and reflections on professional (trans) formations, and in this sense, it is understood that teacher training is a process that will occupy all his permanence in his professional activity.
