Abstract
Education is a concept that is modified according to the educational objectives, which are related to the formative needs imposed by society. In this sense, the initial perception of education was related to the idealization of the physical and intellectual characteristics of the students, resulting in a homogenized perception of what the ideal student would be. Thus, the idea that people with disabilities would be incapable of learning prevailed for centuries, thus culminating in the exclusion of students with disabilities in the school environment. Nevertheless, the rise of Christianity brought a humanized perception of people with disabilities, resulting in the creation of institutions that treated the education of people with disabilities in a segregationist way. Subsequently, the Federal Constitution of 1988 spread the idea of education as a right for all, and it was up to the state to provide the conditions for the access and permanence of students with disabilities in regular education. Considering the acceptance of difference as a primary factor for effective inclusion, this article seeks to investigate the role of the teacher in the process of preventing and combating bullying in the classroom, as well as to reflect on the influence of teachers' beliefs on the subject in identifying and intervening in favor of preventing and combating bullying.
