Methodologically, the research is of a documentary nature with a qualitative approach, so that it seeks to build a mapping of the legal norms aimed at Special Education and the political-pedagogical proposals of the Pedagogy Courses of the Campi of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, and also , the research has the help of the BARDIN content technique (2016), thus implying the analysis of PPCs - Pedagogical Projects of Pedagogy Courses offered by the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul UFMS.
