Abstract

Inclusion in Higher Education is one of the challenges of education in the 21st century. This research aimed to evaluate the perceptions of undergraduate students about inclusion in Higher Education using audio-text as a problematic instrument. Twenty-one students from the Natural Sciences undergraduate course enrolled in the curricular component: Reading and Textual Productions participated in this research. Based on qualitative research methodology, through action research, a project on inclusive practices and Technologies was developed. Among the results, teacher education was the one of the aspects identified as a key point for the quality of the inclusive process as well as the condition of accessibility and permanence of students with disabilities in Higher Education. In this way, we consider that provocations like the during undergraduate courses are important exercise for the construction of critical thinking and inclusive actions. For this, in addition to being reflective teachers need to be proactive in finding new ways and solutions. In this sense, problematization, research and action, are one the way since teacher training.
