THE IMPORTANCE OF INDIVIDUAL EDUCATIONAL PLANNING IN INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

Abstract

The problem addressed was the effectiveness of Individualized Educational Planning (IEP) in inclusive education, with the general objective of analyzing the importance of IEP for the personalization of teaching and its impact on student development. The research adopted a methodology of bibliographic review, examining relevant studies and documents on the subject. The contributions of the IEP to the adaptation of the curriculum, the difficulties faced in its implementation and the effects observed in educational contexts were analyzed. The results showed that PEI is effective in personalizing teaching, leading to improvements in academic performance and social development of students with special needs. The analysis revealed that, despite the benefits, the implementation of the PEI faces challenges related to the training of educators and institutional support. Public policies and available resources have played a significant role in the implementation of the IEP, and it is critical to ensure that the guidelines are followed and that there is adequate support for teachers. The final considerations highlighted the need for continuous training for educators and greater consistency in public policies to overcome the challenges faced. In addition, additional research has been suggested to explore the conditions and practices that influence the effectiveness of IEP in different educational contexts.
