O universo da supervisão: uma abordagem inclusiva no domínio da inserção profissional

This research aims to question and profoundly rethink the form and content of the inclusive approach in the field of supervision in pre-service teacher training and professional integration. In this study we used the Quantitative Methodology and a questionnaire survey (207 respondents) applied to trainees and teachers (university supervisors and cooperating teachers) in the region of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro – Portugal. The results obtained showed that higher education institutions should restructure their curricula and promote awareness-raising and training about the inclusion of people with special needs in this context. It’s also clear that teachers (university supervisors or cooperating teachers) who observe, accompany and evaluate pre-service training should have specific training in the area of Inclusion and/or Special Needs Education or, alternatively, these teams should include an expert in these areas.
