Educação matemática para surdos: contribuições de um glossário para o ensino de probabilidade e estatística

Abstract

This research aims to analyze and understand the difficulties faced by deaf students, Libras interpreters and teachers regarding the lack of specific terminology for the mathematics discipline, with the objective of contributing to the teaching of probability and statistics through building a glossary. For this, we support as a methodology the case study research, with qualitative approach. We started with observations in the school environment, interview with interpreters, and later a survey of the existing signs related to probability and statistics, and to validate the research, with the support of the deaf community of Jataí, we built a glossary with the signs that were not found in dictionaries as a product proposal. The analysis of the information acquired throughout the research allowed us to conclude that there is a gap in technical terms for several areas, and the construction and dissemination of glossaries help the learning of deaf students and other professionals in the area, as well as the dissemination of Libras.
