O impacto do Projeto Pessoa com Deficiência Intelectual(PCDI) nos graduandos de licenciatura em Educação Física da UFRN: uma visão dos professores voluntários dos períodos 2023.2 e 2024.1

Abstract

The current need for improvements in special education, driven by the increasing number of diagnoses of ASD and other intellectual disabilities within the Brazilian education system, alongside the benefits provided by the Intellectual Disability Project (PCDI) for future volunteer teachers in training, has prompted this student to undertake a project. This project aims to identify the challenges faced by teachers in working with people with disabilities and the benefits and tools that the project, along with the teaching practice it involves, has offered to UFRN students who volunteered for the project. This research adopts a qualitative, descriptive, and directive approach, conducted with undergraduate students from the Physical Education Teacher Training Program at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), Natal Campus. The volunteers from the project were interviewed about their experiences and shared their perspectives on the relationship between the project and their teacher training.
