O recurso audiovisual no ensino de surdos numa abordagem Ciência, Tecnologia, Sociedade e Ambiente: diálogos sobre radiação e a saúde humana

Abstract

This research seeks to contribute with means capable of favoring the educational inclusion of the deaf, based on the professional experience of the researcher who worked as an interpreter of Libras in inclusive schools in the State of Goiás, which made it possible to verify the need to develop adequate methodological resources that contemplate the linguistic specificities of deaf people and promote the learning of all students, whether hearing or deaf. From this perspective, the research aimed to evaluate the use of audiovisual resources, by exploring, through accessible videos in Libras, the theme "Radiations and their relationships with human health", in a Science, Technology, Society and Environment approach, aiming to subsidize Science Teaching by promoting interest in the subject in order to lead students to understand, through scientific content, the world around them. In this sense, teaching based on the Freirean perspective allows us to place Science in a different position and makes it possible to problematize, in the classroom, situations of social relevance, which make sense to students, thus revealing their critical reading of the world. The qualitative research adopted enabled a process of interaction with the research subjects, through questionnaires and participatory observation. In accordance with the Professional Graduate Program to which this research is linked, a sequence of activities was developed as an educational product using videos and video lessons accessible in Libras and with subtitles for the teacher to use. The activity sequence was applied through remote, synchronous and asynchronous classes, with the participation of the deaf, in the form of an extension course. The analysis of the data obtained from the application of the classes allowed us to conclude that a sequence of activities that makes use of an audiovisual resource, prepared in an accessible way and applied in partnership with a professional Sign Language Interpreter, provides access to knowledge in an accessible way. scientific, technological, social and environmental, in an egalitarian way and with dialogic freedom in the classroom. The results obtained point to the effectiveness of the pedagogical practice, minimizing the educational difficulties revealed by these students.
