Abstract

Specific Terminality (TE), defined as the completion of a teaching cycle or stage with the obtaining of certification that recognizes the educational path of students with disabilities without the requirement to fully comply with the regular curriculum. It reinforces the right to education for all, without discrimination, providing for adaptations, curricular and pedagogical flexibility, differentiated and individualized assessment. It also enhances the process of comprehensive training and social insertion of the student in the world of work. This research project is linked to the professional master's degree in professional and technological education on a national network(ProfEPT), developed together with the research line of Educational Practices in Professional and Technological Education(EPT), in the macroproject Inclusion and diversity in formal and non-formal spaces formal EPT teaching. The theme: ¨Specific Terminality (TE) in the Federal Network of Scientific and Technological Professional Education of Amapá: limits and possibilities¨ arises from professional experience as a researcher at EPT and teacher of inclusive education; where there is a lack of instructional standardization in relation to the application of TE, motivates and justifies this study. The objective is to understand possibilities and limitations for the applicability of Specific Terminality - TE to the target audience of special education. The empirical corpus will consist of official documents, national legislation, documents from the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology, as well as the understanding of the concept of a person with a disability, and the CNE/CEB 02/2013 opinion is an important milestone for the legal provision of TE. The paths of scientific practice: this is documentary and bibliographical research with a qualitative approach, of an applied nature, of an exploratory and descriptive nature, at the Instituto Federal do Amapá-IFAP locus. Data collection will take place on institutional websites, Periodical Portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO); the Publish or Perish and VOSviewer tools will also be used as collection instruments. The analysis of qualitative data will adopt hermeneutic analysis as a methodology: which researchers can explore the complexity and richness of meanings present in different types of texts, enriching their understanding. The preparation of the Educational Product (PE) will occur based on the analysis of qualitative data obtained through the descriptive technical procedure: a Technical Opinion on the Applicability of the TE. Which will certainly provide a detailed analysis of current legislation, elucidating the standards and guidelines that regulate Specific Terminality in the institutions that make up the federal education network. The PE assessment will be carried out by applying a questionnaire with open and closed questions to professional education professionals, directly involved in serving students targeted in special education at the Federal Institute of Amapá. It is expected to contribute to the academic and professional debate on the inclusion and success of students with disabilities in Professional and Technological Education, using TE as a strategy provided for in Brazilian legislation.
