Abstract

This final paper Its main objective is to identify and understand the challenges which are encountered in the use of resources offered by technology and media, thus being able to explain how they can add to the education of the deaf. It also aims to systematize the history of the Deaf People Education, to describe the contributions of the Cultural-Historical theory to Deaf People Education and the concept of mediation within this theory, establishing a bridge between Deaf Education and the use of technology and media, and thus being able to analyze the actual use of these technologies in the classroom. To develope this paper it was necessary the qualitative, documental and bibliographic research, having as a basis the studies of Rocha (1997), Skiliar (1997), Plinsk (2022), Marques, Barroco and Silva (2013), Costa (1994), Basso (2003), Cordeiro (2009), Goldfeld (1997), Lacerda (1998), Kensky (2008), Meserlian and Vitaliano (2009), Ramos (2021), Ramirez and Masutti (2009), Moura (2000), among others. The history of Deaf Education is marked by a long process, because since ancient times the deaf individuals needed to fight for their rights, they needed to conquer a space in society as citizens and in education they had to prove that they were able to learn; many struggles were necessary and over time they needed to go through historical periods such as Oralism, Total Communication, until we reach the present days with Bilingualism, which currently has great importance in the learning process of the deaf person. And just like Deaf Education has gone through a long process of transformation, society has also changed and technologies and media have emerged, which generated changes in teaching methodology, since children have followed this process and live in a society with easy access to technology. Taking this reality into account, it has been a challenge to find digital teaching materials and to use Technology and Media as a teaching methodology in the Education of the Deaf, since it is necessary to offer these contents within the perspective of bilingual education. However, when Technology and Media are used within the bilingual perspective and professionals understand how to use them, they become facilitating agents in the teaching-learning process, providing a better interaction and learning in a playful and visual way
