Abstract

The multifunctional resource rooms (MMR) is the designated service for development the specialized education attendance to provide assistance in a complementary or supplementary nature, on double-shift, for students with disabilities, Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) and High Abilities / Giftedness (HA/GD), enrolled in regular classes. Using theoretical curriculum referentials, which include the school as a space endowed with meaning, suffering cultural, social, political, ideological, methodological influences etc., in a dynamic process that runs through prescriptions dictated by the state, educational productions and relations of subjects (MOREIRA, 2011; YOUNG, 2007; LOPES, 2002; GIMENO SACRISTÁN, 2000; FORQUIN, 1993) is questioned: are there curriculum orientations to pedagogical work in MMR? Which are the interfaces between the curriculum of the regular class and the which is developed in MMR? Which knowledges are prioritized in this rooms? Thus, it was established as the objective of the research to investigate the curriculum guidelines for specialized educational services, in MRR, from the analysis of special education policy of São Paulo municipality, namely the city of Franca. To fulfill this goal, the qualitative approach was the adopted option, using a set of interpretative techniques: survey and document analysis (national legislation, national and local curriculum frameworks, political-pedagogical projects and MRR lesson plans); semi-structured interviews with five specialized teachers from MRR, of the three municipal schools; and on-site observation of the same professionals practices, using a field notebook as a way of recording. Among the research results, was identified that Franca produced, in 2008, a curriculum referential which contemplate aspects of education of students with disabilities, PDD and HA/GD subsidized by the \"National Curriculum Standards - curriculum adaptations, strategies for the education of students with special educational needs\" (BRAZIL, 1999), but, that municipal document is few used in practices in SRM. In that special education service, prevailed the use of the Collection \"Special education in the perspective of school inclusion\" (BRAZIL, 2010), which have underlain a work with concrete materials (games) and symbolic materials (jokes) and the language learning, codes learning and technological resources to ensure communication and access to the curriculum of the regular class. And, among the practices were prioritized reading and writing activities, there were few questions about \"what\" content should or should not be included, in relation to the established in municipal referential for the age / grade students, can justify activities with features of differentiation and / or minimization of content.
