Ensino de física: conceitos de acústica para alunos surdos

Abstract

The inclusion of the deaf in regular education is a reality, but it is not carried out effectively since the classes are aimed at listeners when an educational institution rethinks the ways of teaching for people with disabilities some initiatives are considered valid and effective for the other students. Thinking about this variety makes it easier to plan mixed strategies. The acoustic content was chosen because of the difficulty in understanding it since it is worked from listening experiences. The resarch was realized thinking about the other senses that the deaf have besides having the presence of an interpreter. The project developed in three moments, being: bibliographical surveys, in order to collect data on the challenges faced by the deaf public, in a second moment were produced the experiments that demonstrated the physical concepts, later were taught classes presenting the notions moved in to the basic understanding of acoustic content. The research was carried out at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás, Jataí unit, the proposed study counted on the participation of five deaf students. We reserved time, room and didactic resources to expose the theme. It had a qualitative character making use of pre and post-test questionnaires for better perception of knowledge acquisition. With the completion of the research, we verified the assimilation of sound characteristics and how it was relevant to focus efforts on alternative methodologies. It was concluded that the success of the activity turned to the diversity of the didactic means and that the cognitive of the deaf is efficient before classes directed to their specificities. It is intended to plan in a later moment novelties on the modes of transmission of knowledge and elaboration of activities that reinforce the fixation of other contents of the physics.
