Memórias de pessoas com nanismo na educação física escolar

Abstract

One of the issues that have been widely debated inside and outside the school environment is inclusion. Today, there are numerous studies focused on the theme of the inclusion process of students who have different physical, intellectual, sensory, ethical, social and gender characteristics, however, there are few studies specifically focused on dwarfism. Thus, the main objective was to reflect, based on the experiences lived by people with dwarfism, on how School Physical Education occurs in Brazilian schools. For this, a qualitative approach was carried out, with data collection through interviews and thematic oral history methodology. As a result, it was observed that there must be collaboration from all parties regarding the inclusion of students with dwarfism in Physical Education classes, because if the teacher is not prepared for this and does not seek ways to do so, the student becomes discouraged.
