SIEMS, Maria Edith Romano. Educação especial em tempos de educação inclusiva: a identidade docente em questão. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.27, pp.209-226. ISSN 1981-0431.

We present a research carried out within a Master in Education Program in which we try to understand the way through which teachers who work in Special Education constitute their Professional Identity in this moment when discussions point out towards Inclusive Education. We identified the factors that contributed in the life histories with which these teachers have built their professional identity, so that they can position themselves as Special Education teachers. We took as theoretical reference the historicalcultural perspective, especially the studies of Baktin and Vygotsky. In the collective interviews carried out with a group of seven teachers of public schools of Roraima, we studied the process of identity constitution of those teachers considering their personal, academic and professional life history, identifying the marking influence of the present structure of organization of teacher work in their professional profiles.

Keywords : Special Education; Teacher Training; Inclusion; Teacher Identity; Teacher Professional Skills.
