Resumo
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo conhecer o impacto que as obras de requalificação escolar levadas a cabo pela Parque Escolar E.P.E., tiveram ao nível das acessibilidades e dos equipamentos específicos para os alunos com necessidades educativas especiais.
Para tal foi realizado um inquérito por questionário junto das escolas intervencionadas no Distrito do Porto. Foi também realizada uma revisão da literatura, focando o apoio aos alunos com necessidades educativas especiais e as boas práticas de construção escolar, particularmente ao nível da escola inclusiva.
Foi possível constatar que houve melhorias generalizadas ao nível das acessibilidades, embora tenham sido identificados alguns problemas. O mesmo não se verificou ao nível dos equipamentos específicos, relativamente aos quais não houve melhorias. Ficou claro que as obras estudadas focaram apenas a acessibilidade física e não tiveram uma preocupação mais inclusiva, mais orientada para o design inclusivo ou universal, ao contrário das melhores práticas internacionais. Por outro lado, as funções de algumas escolas só foram definidas após o arranque das obras, levando à realização de adaptações insatisfatórias.
A suspensão das obras, além de ser um problema, constitui também uma oportunidade para corrigir os problemas identificados e permitir a criação de uma escola mais inclusiva.
This study aims to understand the impact of the school redevelopment works undertaken by Parque Escolar E.P.E., in terms of accessibility and specific equipment for students with special education needs. An inquiry by questionnaire was addressed to the Oporto district schools that were redeveloped. A literature review was also performed, focussing the support for students with special education needs and the school construction best practices, particulary in terms of inclusive school. It was found that there were major accessibility improvements, although some problems have been identified. Nevertheless there were no improvements in terms of specific support equipments. It was clear that the redevelopment works studied focused only physical accessibility and did not addressed a more inclusive or universal design, like international best practices. On the other hand, the role of some schools was only defined after works started, leading to unsatisfactory adaptations. The suspension of the redevelopment works, although being a problem, is also an opportunity to correct the problems identified and to allow the creation of a more inclusive school.
