This paper aims at showing how governmentality works as an analysis tool in the research practice in Special Education. We have problematized the conduction of conducts of Specialized Educational Assistance (SEA) teachers in inclusive schools. From official documents and didactic materials related to that kind of continuing education in national and regional spheres, and also relying on the Foucauldian Studies in Education, we have regarded SEA as a technology governing teachers; its strategy for the production of teacher subjectivity operates teaching tactics in a game that affects each and everyone, regarding teaching as both a desire to change and a supportive practice. From that materiality, governmentality enables the development of a problematizing exercise in an attempt to analyze power relations.

Keywords : Governmentality; Special Education; Specialized Educational Assistance; Continuing Teacher Education.
