Sobre a ação mediada: intervenções pedagógicas no ensino de ciências para surdos em sala bilíngue

Abstract

After considerable achievements, especially in legislation, which resulted in advances for school inclusion, and consequently for the education of the deaf, the latter became the object of study of many researchers. Still, there are gaps that remain poorly explored. The research reported in this master thesis emerged from the experience of a science teacher/LIBRAS Interpreter who felt the impact of the communication barrier, and the languages inserted in science teaching -learning process for the deaf. This project aimed to develop studies on mediated action (dialog establishment) in bilingual classroom of Science in order to understand how the mediation conducted by a bilingual teacher influences the assignment of meaning in Science education for deaf students. Taken into account the specificity of the deaf students, we planned and developed pedagogical interventions considering the socio -anthropological perspective of deafness. There were invited to participate in the study, deaf students, who attended the 9 t h grade of elementary school, at the School Centro Especial Elysio Campos (founded by the deaf community), which has a partnership with the State Secretariat for Education of Goiânia and maintained by the Association of Deaf People of Goiânia. At this stage of education, students are introduced to the basic concepts of Chemistry, some of them, because are essential to the understanding of Chemistry, were chosen to be taught during the pedagogical interventions. Given the results presented and analyzed, we can affirm that this mediated action, using multisensory resources, proved to be a possible tool for science education of deaf students.
