Abstract
The following paper aimed to analyze the contributions of a training course on Inclusive Education in Distance Education offered to higher education tutors and to understand their perceptions regarding the work carried out with the target public of special education in pedagogical mediation. Considering the current legislation and discussions on the democratization of education, Special Education is a transversal modality of education that permeates all levels, modalities and stages of the schooling process. Therefore, the conditions of access, permanence and academic success must be guaranteed. Regarding higher education, there has been a significant increase in students with special educational needs. Many are the contributions of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to the academic success of these students, thus distance education may be seen as a tool to provide access to a degree in higher education. In this context, during a training course, the perceptions of tutors who work with pedagogical mediation in a private university were analyzed based on the qualitative approach. Nine tutors who participated in the training course participated in the study. The results showed that tutors understand the importance of a work based on adaptations and strategies, aiming to provide access to knowledge to students. Participants also pointed out that the approach must be focused on the social barriers imposed to the public of Special Education to study in higher education. The study highlighted the importance of such discussions with all those involved in the process of inclusion of the target public students of special education, since access to education and professional qualification is a social right.

Summary
O presente estudo é de cunho qualitativo, visto que sua finalidade foi compreender a percepção de um grupo de tutores frente a realização de um curso de capacitação sobre a inclusão na EaD. No presente estudo foram coletadas informações de nove tutores que atuam no curso de pedagogia, os quais compartilharam suas impressões e reflexões sobre as perspectivas e desafios do trabalho realizado com o público alvo da educação especial, a partir de formação em serviço, por meio de curso de capacitação e sua própria prática na mediação pedagógica. Em que esses tutores atuam, ofertar formação em serviço sobre a educação especial, observa-se um desafio frente a formação inicial de pedagogos sobre a área, visto que foram poucas discussões propiciadas para esses profissionais em sua formação inicial, as quais não oportunizaram uma compreensão mais aprofundadas das políticas que asseguram o direito dos alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais ao ensino superior. Foi possível perceber que a formação em serviço de todos os profissionais que atuam com esse público no ensino superior contribui para que essa construção se efetive na realidade
