Brasilian academic production about inclusion of students with disabilities in Physical Education

The inclusion of students with disabilities in regular education is based on academic knowledge for teacher training according to legal requirements. However, difficulties have arisen to effectively implement such measures in school Physical Education. That said, this study aimed to analyze the construction of academic knowledge of Physical Education on the educational inclusion of students with disabilities. A bibliometric analysis on the theses and dissertations produced until 2019 was structured in nationally accredited graduate programs on this topic, through research on the electronic portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel and on the website of library of each teaching institution accredited to it, with subsequent integrative data analysis. As a result, it was found that academic studies permeate a recent area, presenting themselves predominantly conceptual with timid guidelines for interventions, moving towards a methodological maturity and the need to redirect evaluative procedures to those of intervention.
