Abstract

The current research has investigated the inclusion of children with special needs in the pedagogical practice of Physical Education in elementary school. The methodology is qualitative, the subjects involved in the analysis work as Physical Education teachers in the regular school system and they deal with children with special needs in their classes. The data are composed by interviews and observations. The results are divided into four categories: comprehension of inclusion in the practice of Physical Education; the relation between teachers and children with special needs; prospects in the professional development; pedagogical support to the process of inclusion. This study has showed that Physical Education teachers recognize that inclusion is an important issue in the pedagogical practice. It also has showed that teachers’ continuous formation and their pedagogical practice must be developed
