SILVA, Maria Odete Emygdio da. Inclusive Education - a new School paradigm. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2011, n.19, pp.119-134. ISSN 1645-7250.

The identity is defined through our relationship with those who around us and who help us to “see ourselves” as a person with our own characteristics. The school is a privileged space for this perception because of the interaction it provides, creating rich and stimulating environments and fundamental conditions to the proper development of any individual. Because of these given assumptions inclusive education makes all the sense, in spite of doubts felt and questions raised by teachers when asked to implement strategies which consider the class as a heterogeneous entity. Hence the relevance of teacher training to help overcome this problem, as shown by our own or oriented research in this area.

Keywords : inclusive education; teacher training; training needs analysis; action research.
