As representações gráficas como recurso metodológico em situações de sala de aula com alunos surdos

Abstract

This research is situated in the context of inclusive education, where deaf and hearing people can enjoy the same rights and opportunities. Despite the inclusion of law, you need to evaluate the conditions to meet this challenge. As from the experience of this research professor in daily classroom "said" inclusive, many problems have been perceived. Not yet, in the current educational context, physical, human and pedagogical structures that afford favorable conditions for quality education accessible to deaf and listeners students, respecting their specificities, not favoring the repetition and the age / school year. The objective of this research is to investigate whether working with teaching strategies, with emphasis on graphical representations, such as drawing, signs in LIBRAS, photographs, illustrations, can contribute to facilitating communication and learning the Portuguese language written by deaf students. The subjects were deaf students (06) of a class of 7th year, enrolled in regular school system,enrolled in regular school system, in an inclusive school located in Feira de Santana, Bahia, in 2013. In order to analyze possible effects of different pedagogical mediation, was made a Preliminary Assessment of performance in the writing of deaf people from the request of elaboration in writing a ticket. Next, we held an teaching strategy planned Didactic Sequence 12 seconds, which contemplate the use of graphical representations in the teaching learning process. At the end of theses, we proceeded to the evaluation Later, when there was a request to prepare a second ticket. Tickets were evaluated according to the criteria proposed by Brochado (2003). From the comparison of performance in writing of deaf students, before and after Didactic Sequence, we can infer possible effects of these. The data indicated that the Preliminary Assessment only 02 tickets were deemed satisfactory for submitting minimal information that would make the textual genre understandable ticket. The other 04 tickets did not present minimum information to ensure communication, such as event type and date. Already in the Posterior Evaluation, all 06 tickets were considered satisfactory. While not changing interlingual level of students has been observed in this short period of pedagogical mediation, here were qualitative changes in writing performance of the Portuguese language, in terms of increased use of punctuation and of binding elements, beyond the text to ensure a better understanding by the reader. It was observed that at the end of the process, the deaf students were more socialized and motivated to work in the classroom, so there was a better use both in terms of learning as communication of deaf students together with colleagues and with the teacher. One can check that teaching with deaf students is only possible from the compromise of those involved in the educational process. It is necessary that specific teaching strategies are appropriate for teachers to meet appropriate way to deaf students.
