INCLUSIVE SCHOOL: an initiative shared by parents, students and school staff

Abstract Inclusive school has as its motto the full and shared participation of all subjects in the educational process. In this sense, this study aimed to investigate what parents, students and school staff think about the inclusive school theme. The study was carried out in an Elementary School-Cycle I, in the interior of São Paulo, with 179 parents, 204 students and 16 members of the school staff. The data collection involved the application of the "Index for Inclusion" questionnaires, consisting of three dimensions: cultures, policies and practices. The results show a view both of the school staff and of the students and parents more directed to the physical structure of the school, and most of them show satisfaction with regard to human resources and classes. In this sense, there is still a restricted focus on the inclusive process, and a more effective work is necessary with the students, the parents/guardians and the school staff.

摘要 包容性学校（Inclusive school）的核心宗旨为让所有教育主体充分参与、共同融入教育过程。有鉴于此，本研究旨在探究家长、学生与学校教职工对包容性学校这一主题的认知与看法。本研究于圣保罗州内陆地区的一所第一循环小学开展，共纳入179名家长、204名学生及16名学校教职工。数据采集环节采用了“包容性指数（Index for Inclusion）”问卷，该问卷涵盖文化、政策与实践三个维度。研究结果显示，学校教职工、学生与家长的关注点更多偏向学校的物理硬件设施，且多数群体对学校人力资源与班级教学现状表示满意。由此可见，当前对包容性建设的关注仍较为局限，未来需针对学生、家长/监护人及学校教职工开展更具实效的相关工作。
