O componente curricular "Educação Inclusiva" na formação inicial de professores: Um estudo de caso em um curso de licenciatura em matemática.

The work discusses the contributions of the "Inclusive Education" curriculum component in the initial education of mathematics teachers. It is characterized as a case study with a qualitative approach, whose data were collected from undergraduates and graduates from a mathematics degree course at the Federal Institute of Ceará (IFCE) attending the component from 2016 to 2019. Relevant perspectives were highlighted from participants' views on the curriculum component, highlighting a better understanding of the concept of disability, types, and education from an inclusive perspective, in addition to a greater understanding of the need for initial/continuing teacher education to promote inclusion, favoring didactic-pedagogical adjustments necessary for the effective learning of people with disabilities. The emphasis on the importance of the "Inclusive Education" curriculum component allows us to infer that it aroused interest and instigated the search for subsidies that favor a professional practice that promotes learning in diversity.
