Esse trabalho foi organizado em capítulos que assumem o formato de artigos, o que permite discorremos detidamente sobre cada um deles acerca das temáticas a seguir apresentadas. No primeiro capítulo, intitulado ―Sobre silêncios: notas esparsas sobre surdez e educação‖, é possível transitar por diferentes cenários que compõem os conceitos de normalidade e anormalidade que paulatinamente são constituintes do que hoje representamos sobre a deficiência. Irrompemos com a perspectiva culturalista da surdez, não mais apresentando-a sobre a cristalização da normativa clínica, mas sim permitindo uma leitura menos positivista e mais subjetiva sobre esse fenômeno, entendido por nós como marca identitária da comunidade surda. O segundo capítulo, ―Discursos docentes sobre o oficio do professor: com a bola, a Educação Física‖, traz as primeiras análises e discussões sobre a representação dos docentes sobre o oficio de ser professor, bem como suas implicações práticas quanto ao trato pedagógico referido aos alunos em suas aulas. O terceiro capítulo, ―Discurso docente sobre a surdez‖, detém suas discussões nas nuances das falas dos professores, de forma a evidenciar as representações que esses trazem da surdez e do aluno surdo. O quarto capítulo, ―O corpo no silêncio - experiências corporais de alunos surdos em aulas de Educação Física‖, ancorado nos relatos de experiências informados pelos intérpretes, e observados nas aulas de Educação Física assistidas por nós, evidencia os dizeres do corpo, que mesmo sem o uso da ordem fonética, fala, grita, se coloca no universo ouvinte. Por fim, o capítulo seguinte encerra nossa investida apresentando algumas considerações finais, resultantes dos questionamentos atribuídos ao nosso objeto de pesquisa, e propõe alguns desdobramentos emanados das reflexões apresentadas nesse trabalho. / This study is a master thesis titled "Silence in the body: it‘s a teachings representations about the faculty body experience of deafness and deaf students in physical education classes." This study was organized in chapters that has been taken the form of articles which allows discus in each of them about the topics listed below. In the first chapter, entitled "About silences: sparse notes about deafness and education", It‘s possible to move through different scenarios that make the concepts of normality and abnormality that gradually are constituents of which today represent about disability. Burst forth with the culturalist perspective of deafness, no longer presenting it on the crystallization of clinical rules, but allowing a positivist reading less subjective and more on this phenomenon, understood by us as a brand identity of the deaf community. The second chapter, "Discourses about the teachers craft of the teacher, with the ball, Physical Education," presents the first analysis and discussions about the representation of teachers on the craft of being a teacher, as well as its practical implications regarding the pedagogic treatment that students in their classes. The third chapter, ―teachers‘ discourses about deafness," holds its discussions on the nuances of the teachers‘ speech in order to show that these representations bring on deafness and deaf students. The fourth chapter, "the body in silence - bodily experiences of deaf students in physical education classes," anchored in the accounts of experiences informed by interpreters, and observed in physical education classes attended by us, shows the motifs of the body, that even order without the use of phonetics, speech, shouts, arises in the universe listener. Lastly, the next chapter concludes our invested presenting some final considerations resulting from the questions assigned to the object of our research, and proposes some developments emanating from our presented reflections in this work.

O caso estudado constitui-se em análise acerca do ensino oferecido a surdos de uma escola da rede estadual de Manaus, denominada Escola Estadual Augusto Carneiro dos Santos (EEACS), que tem como documentos norteadores o Projeto Político Pedagógico, o Regimento e a proposta curricular bilíngue. Tal proposta tem como base legal o Decreto Federal 5626, de 22 de dezembro de 2005, o qual assegura que os alunos surdos tenham uma educação bilíngue, ou seja, uma educação pautada no ensino da língua de sinais como língua de instrução para a aquisição da língua portuguesa na modalidade escrita. O objetivo definido para este estudo foi compreender de que forma as práticas de ensino desta escola são efetivas no sentido de valorização do indivíduo surdo quanto às suas peculiaridades e especificidades, em respeito às suas diferenças linguística, identitária e cultural. Para tanto, foi feita uma contextualização histórica e política da educação no Brasil, além da descrição da rede estadual de educação de Manaus e da EEACS. Visando ao desenvolvimento de um trabalho pautado no papel da gestão escolar, optamos por uma pesquisa qualitativa, um estudo descritivo e uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre a educação para surdos. Esta pesquisa utiliza observação do cotidiano escolar e entrevista como instrumentos para coleta de dados. Diante da observação e análise dos dados, percebemos que, por falta de capacitação de alguns professores em língua de sinais e inexistência de um sistema de avaliação adaptado ao surdo, a concepção de educação bilíngue, por parte dos atores envolvidos no processo educacional, se mostrou superficial, distanciando-se do que é apresentado nos documentos que embasam o trabalho da escola. Frente a isso, a pesquisa pretendeu desenvolver um Plano de Ação Educacional (PAE) voltado para uma educação com base em uma perspectiva bilíngue. Para isso, utilizaremos autores que abordam a temática, como Perlin (1998), Skliar (1998), Guarinello (2007), Stürmer (2009), Gesser (2009), Sá (2011), Silvério (2014), dentre outros, além dos fundamentos legais. / The present study was developed in the extension of the Mestrado em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação of the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora. The case studied is an analysis about the education offered to the deaf students of a school of the state network of Manaus, called Escola Estadual Augusto Carneiro dos Santos (EEACS), which has as guiding documents the Pedagogical Political Project, the Regiment and the bilingual curriculum proposal. This proposal has as its legal basis the Federal Decree 5626, of December 22, 2005, which ensures that deaf students have a bilingual education, in other words, an education based on the teaching of sign language as a language of instruction for the acquisition of the Portuguese language in written form. The objective defined for this study was to understand how the teaching practices of this school are effective in the sense of valuing the deaf individual as to their peculiarities and specificities, in respect to their linguistic, identity and cultural differences. For that, was made a historical and political contextualization of education in Brazil, besides the description of the state education network of Manaus and of the EEACS. Aiming at the development of a work based on the role of school management, we chose a qualitative research, a descriptive study and a bibliographical research on education for the deaf. This research uses observation of everyday school life and interviews as instruments for data collection. Before the observation and data analysis we realize that, for lack of training of some teachers in sign language and absence of an evaluation system tailored to the deaf, the conception of bilingual education, by the actors involved in the educational process, has showed itself as superficial, distancing itself from what is presented in the documents that underpin the work of the school. Against this, the research intends to develop an Educational Action Plan (Plano de Ação Educacional - PAE) facing an education based on a bilingual perspective. For that, we will use authors who approach the subject, as Perlin (1998), Skliar (1998), Guarinello (2007), Stürmer (2009), Gesser (2009), Sá (2011), Silvério (2014), amongst others, besides the legal grounds.

There are several materials available in LIBRAS, but my focus is only on digital books. For this, we selected six stories in digital format, signalized in LIBRAS (among them translations, adaptations and productions) and presented for six deaf teachers from different regions of Rio Grande do Sul State. These selected teachers have training in education, they were students of LIBRAS Language, and act as LIBRAS teachers in different educational levels. These Educators watched the videos and they signaled their impressions based on questions that explored the technical part of the video, signaling brands present in deaf history and its importance when used for deaf children Education. To conduct this research, I relied on Cultural Studies and Deaf Studies, realizing the Deaf Literature as part of Deaf Culture and indispensable for the acquisition of a deaf identity. From the interviews, various opinions which point to a new moment in the lives of deaf and also some major changes when they think of producing new stories in LIBRAS, contributing to improve the Deaf Literature available in our country / Esta pesquisa pretende analisar o que professores surdos sinalizam sobre livros digitais em Língua Brasileira de Sinais LIBRAS. Existem vários materiais disponíveis em Libras, porém meu enfoque é apenas para os livros digitais. Para tal, foram selecionadas seis histórias no formato digital, sinalizadas em Libras (dentre elas traduções, adaptações e produções) e apresentadas para seis professores surdos de diferentes regiões do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Estes professores selecionados possuem formação na área de educação, foram acadêmicos do curso de Letras/Libras, e atuam como professores de Libras em diferentes níveis educacionais. Os educadores assistiram aos vídeos e sinalizaram suas impressões baseadas em perguntas que exploravam a parte técnica do vídeo, a sinalização, as marcas surdas presentes na história e a sua importância quando utilizada para a educação de crianças surdas. Para realizar esta pesquisa, baseei-me nos Estudos Culturais e nos Estudos Surdos, percebendo a Literatura Surda como parte da Cultura Surda e imprescindível para a aquisição de uma identidade surda. Da análise das entrevistas, surgiram diversas opiniões que apontam para um novo momento na vida dos surdos e também algumas modificações importantes quando se pensa em produzir novas histórias em Libras, contribuindo para melhoria da Literatura Surda disponível em nosso país

Guidelines for teachers working with learners with a hearing-impairment

Xitlhabana, Salani George 22 August 2012 (has links)
M.Ed. / The advances in the education of the learners with hearing-impairment in our schools is inhibited by several factors, for example, lack of trained and dedicated teachers, the lack of full time parent commitment and participation. Communication creates another problem due to the lack of Sign language, books and training manuals, and related teaching aids in the classroom. The major problem experienced in schools for learners with hearing-impairment is that teachers are not trained or skilled in teaching learners suffering from hearingimpairment. Reflecting on the lack of trained teachers Storbeck (1997:3) states that teachers of learners with hearing-impairment in South Africa, are not required to have undergone specialised teacher training to thus qualify for teaching learners with hearing-impairment. In the first instance as a result of involvement and participation in the instruction of hearing-impaired learners, also as principal of a school dealing with hearingimpaired and partially hearing-impaired learners, the researcher has come to realise that these learners experience specific problems. Furthermore, the researcher has also gained further appreciation of the teaching practices and teaching cultures that are in existence at schools for the hearing-impaired learners. In the second instance, lack of qualified teachers seems to be an important aspect of the problem. This distinct lack of qualified teachers in this field of learning and instruction has again placed emphasis on the fact that research in this context is essential and absolutely vital. In the third instance, the Government has appealed for improvement of teaching standards and commitment in general, and in this context it is also applicable to the hearing-impaired learners and the schools serving these learners specifically. As educators, we have to create and initiate some form of action to address the problems of the hearing-impaired learner, thus creating a scenario and opportunity for them to develop and become citizens contributing to future progress and achievements. The problem is that the hearing-impaired learner does not succeed at school. The research questions are: (a) "What kind of problems do hearing-impaired learners encounter at school? and (b) what are the guidelines for teachers to adapt when teaching in the classroom of the hearing-impaired learners?" The aims of the study are: to identify the learning problems encountered by the grade 8 and 9 hearingimpaired learners in the classroom; to provide guidelines to teachers to adapt their teaching in the classroom of the hearing impaired learners.

Professor surdo no ensino superior: representações da prática docente / Deaf teacher in the higher education: representations of the educational practice

Müller, Cristiane Ramos 24 August 2009 (has links)
This work has as objective problematizes e cultural representations produced on the deaf teachers inserted in the Higher education. This study brings as theoretical scaffolds the productions of Cultural Studies and Deaf Studies in Education, to think the production of the deaf teachers' identities as a strategy of the inclusion politics. To articulate the subjects that involve the identity of the Deaf Teachers and the Higher education as study problem has his/her emergency in the current politics returned for the inclusive education. Among the main actions of these politics they stand out: the creation of laws, courses of specific degrees for teachers' formation in the area Pounds (Letras/Libras), recruiting of Interpreters of Sign Language for the attendance of those educational ones in formation or professionals in the spaces of performance. Before this scenery, different representations have been produced concerning the deaf teacher's presence in the higher education. Those representations are constituted in a materiality narrated starting from the speeches of the listener students, of the listener teachers and of the own deaf teachers. In the perspective in study, the representations are understood as discursive effect produced by the language, in other words, the language simultaneously can be a representation process, as well as of constitution of the subjects. In that sense, he/she become important to notice that "things" start to have significance when they are attributed them certain meanings. Therefore, the representations produced on and for the deaf teachers they designate the spaces that they occupy in the speech of the inclusion politics and, in the specific case, in the higher education institutions. Finally, this work search to do the analysis about power of the speeches in the constitution in ways of thinking of the modernity that you/they institute the reality concerning the deaf teachers in the Higher education. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo problematizar as representações culturais produzidas sobre os professores surdos inseridos no Ensino Superior. O estudo traz como andaimes teóricos as produções dos Estudos Culturais e Estudos Surdos em Educação, para pensar a produção das identidades dos professores surdos como uma estratégia das políticas de inclusão. Articular as questões que envolvem a identidade dos Professores Surdos e o Ensino Superior como problemática de estudo tem sua emergência nas atuais políticas voltadas para a educação inclusiva. Entre as principais ações destas políticas, destacam-se: a criação de leis, cursos de licenciaturas específicas para formação de professores na área Libras (Letras/Libras), contratação de Intérpretes de Língua de Sinais para o acompanhamento desses docentes em formação ou profissionais nos espaços de atuação. Diante deste cenário, diferentes representações vem sendo produzidas acerca da presença do professor surdo no ensino superior. Essas representações se constituem em uma materialidade narradas a partir dos discursos dos alunos ouvintes, dos professores ouvintes e dos próprios professores surdos. Na perspectiva em estudo, as representações são entendidas como efeito discursivo produzido pela linguagem, ou seja, a língua pode simultaneamente ser um processo de representação, como também de constituição dos sujeitos. Nesse sentido, tornase importante perceber que as coisas passam a ter uma significação quando lhes são atribuídos determinados significados. Portanto, as representações produzidas sobre e pelos professores surdos designam os espaços que eles ocupam no discurso das políticas de inclusão e, no caso específico, nas instituições de ensino superior. Em fim, este trabalho procura fazer a análise sobre o poder dos discursos na constituição das formas de pensar da modernidade que instituem a realidade acerca dos professores surdos no Ensino Superior.

Les contributions de l'apprentissage du théâtre à l'acquisition de la langue des signes française et à la construction de l'identité sourde / Contributions of Theater-education to French Sign Language acquisition and Deaf identity construction

Da Silveira Schmitz, Mariana 23 November 2016 (has links)
Cette thèse est le résultat d'une recherche doctorale inspirée par l'urgence de mettre en avant le rôle central de la langue des signes française (LSF) dans l'éducation des enfants sourds en France. La législation relative à l'utilisation de la LSF a certainement évolué depuis les années 1970 pourtant, les enfants sourds et leurs familles n'ont toujours pas d'accès à une éducation bilingue. Le statut linguistique et culturel de la communauté sourde française est toujours minoré dans le contexte scolaire et ceci constitue un obstacle au développement des politiques et des pratiques pédagogiques destinées à cette population. À partir de l'examen de ce contexte nous souhaitons élargir le débat à propos de la place occupée par la langue des signes (LS) dans la scolarisation de ces enfants, non seulement comme un moyen de communication mais en tant que source première de l'acquisition de compétences langagières, de la constitution des communautés sourdes et de la construction de l'identité sourde. L'objectif de cette recherche est de montrer comment le théâtre-éducation peut participer à ces processus. À partir d'une approche bio-psycho-social de la surdité, nous nous sommes centrée sur un exemple de pratique en théâtre-éducation pour enfants sourds, en tant que terrain pédagogique supplémentaire pour l'apprentissage de la langue des signes dans les institutions de scolarisation d'enfants sourds. Avec ces principes comme base, nous posons comme première hypothèse que le théâtre-éducation facilite l'acquisition de la LS par l'optimisation de la pratique des processus sémiogénétiques communs à la gestualité théâtrale et à la structure des langues des signes. La deuxième hypothèse porte sur l'application du théâtre-éducation en tant que terrain de socialisation en LS et de création des discours symboliques sur la surdité à partir de la perspective de l'enfant sourd. A fin de vérifier nos hypothèses, nous avons réalisé une étude de cas pour la collecte des données. Le corpus présenté dans la thèse a été composé d'abord grâce à l'observation d'un atelier de théâtre pour deux groupes d'enfants sourds, âgés entre 9 et 11 ans. Nous avons néanmoins utilisé également d'autres outils méthodologiques : participation, entretiens et expérimentation. Cette étude de cas montre alors que l'expérience d'apprentissage du théâtre constitue un terrain potentiel de mise en pratique des niveaux particuliers de l'usage de la LS, contribuant donc à l'acquisition de cette dernière. Plus précisément, nous centrons nos analyses sur les processus sémiogénétiques qui font émerger les structures de grande iconicité (les transferts) des langues des signes : l'iconicisation de l'expérience et la sémantisation du corps. Nous avançons également l'idée que l'apprentissage du théâtre permet aux enfants d'expérimenter l'inversion symbolique des normes concernant la surdité (physiologique et sociale), contribuant donc à la construction de leurs identités sourdes. Le corpus obtenu et l'analyse qualitative nous permettent de postuler donc de quelle façon l’apprentissage du théâtre peut contribuer à l'acquisition de la langue des signes et à la construction de l'identité sourde par la mise en pratique de la créativité artistique qui lui est propre. / This doctoral research is driven by the urgent need to discuss the role of french sign language in the education of deaf children in France today. Legislation on the use of french sign language has developed since the 1970's, however, deaf children and their families are still struggling to access bilingual education. The linguistic and cultural minority status of the french deaf community still battles to be accepted in the school context and this constitutes a clear barrier to the development of policies and learning practices for deaf children education. With this framework in mind we wish to extend the discussion on the essential role played by sign language, not only as a communication tool in deaf education, but as the primary source of language skills acquisition and of the constitution of deaf communities and the Deaf identity. The goal of the present research is to show how theater-education can participate in this construction. From a bio-psycho-social perspective on deafness, we turned to one example of theater-education practice destined to deaf children as a additional pedagogical space and practice for sign language in schools and institutions. With these ideas in focus we established the first hypothesis that theater-education facilitates sign language learning by encouraging the exercise of common semiogenetic processes to gesture in theater and to sign language structure. As a second hypothesis we established that theater-education can be used as an additional space of socialization in sign language for deaf children as well as an experience of discourse creation about deafness and Deafhood from the deaf child's perspective. To investigate this hypothesis we chose the case study as our data-collection protocol. The data presented in this research was obtained first through observation of one theater-education class for two groups of deaf children, ages 9 to 11. However we collected our data using different methodological phases and tools: observation, participation, interviews and experiment. This case study shows that this learning experience constitutes a potential exercise of peculiar levels of sign language learning, and more specifically the essential iconic structures of sign languages. We also advance the idea that learning theater-education enables dead children to explore the symbolic inversion of social rules regarding deafness and Deafhood, contributing to the construction of their Deaf identities. The collected data and qualitative analyses has enable us to determine in which ways theater-education can contribute to the exploration of artistic creative levels in sign language learning and deaf identity construction.

Psané texty českých neslyšících / Written Texts of Czech Deaf

Komorná, Marie January 2021 (has links)
The topic of the dissertation is the communication of the deaf in written Czech. The theoretical part presents the studies of written Czech for the deaf which have been carried out in the Czech Republic so far, considers the causes of difficulties the deaf encounter when making Czech written texts, and deals with the position of written Czech in the education of the deaf. The next part is devoted to the Czech sign language, the characteristics of its specifics and its role in the communication and education of deaf pupils, especially in connection with the currently valid legislation. Attention is also focused on the components and construction of narrative texts and on the acquisition of narrative competencies in spoken and sign languages. The research part is focused on the qualitative analysis of narrative texts in Czech, the authors of which are deaf pupils of two primary schools for the hearing impaired aged 14 to 16, and which were created on the basis of a picture story. As part of the analysis of written narratives, attention is focused on the specific features which make the written texts of the deaf different from the texts written by hearing Czechs. The phonic structure of words, vocabulary, the morphological and syntactic level, the ways in which deaf authors construct narrative texts...

Home-based literacy experiences of severely to profoundly deaf pre-schoolers and their hearing parents

Stobbart, Carlin Lillian 17 April 2007 (has links)
The low literacy levels achieved by deaf children are of ongoing concern to educators and researchers alike. The present research considered emergent literacy as one aspect to consider in the acquisition of literacy skills in deaf children. The aim of this research was to describe the home-based literacy experiences of severely to profoundly deaf pre-schoolers as provided by their hearing parents. Parents of twenty-nine pre-school deaf children from schools for the deaf were selected to complete a questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed based on the four identified literacy contexts: the physical and functional context, the language context, the affective context and the educational context. The results obtained indicate that the deaf children in this survey are exposed to literacy-rich home environments where they are able to observe literate adult role models. Limitations in the quantity and quality of text-based interaction between the deaf pre-schoolers, their hearing parents and older siblings were identified. The results also indicated that the parents who participated in this research regarded the development of language and communication as more important than the early acquisition of literacy skills. The parents assigned the greatest responsibility in teaching literacy skills to teachers. This study highlights the sensitive nature of early literacy and language learning in young deaf children. Suggestions for further research are presented. / Dissertation (M(Augmentative and Alternative Communication))--University of Pretoria, 2005. / Centre for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (CAAC) / unrestricted

Det teckenspråkiga klassrummet : en arena för möte mellan elever och lärare / The sign language classroom : an arena for meetings between pupils and teachers

Danielsson, Louise January 2013 (has links)
The aim of this study is to investigate the interaction in sign language in a classroom in the special school for deaf and hard of hearing pupils. Three questions are of particular interest: What characterizes interaction in educational situations where the whole class is present compared to half the class and when the pupils in small groups are solving problems given by the teacher? How are a hearing and a deaf teacher interacting in the classroom? And How are boys and girls interacting in different educational situations? Theoretically the study is based on an educational interaction model. Of particular interest in this model are restrictive and permissive aspects of teaching and factors stimulating pupil participation. Symbolic interactionism has been used in the interpretation of face-to-face interaction in sign language. Video recordings of classroom interaction in natural sciences were documented in a class in the special school comprising 17 pupils and three teachers. A total of seven lessons were recorded consisting of whole class teaching, half class teaching and problem solving in small groups. Of the pupils ten were girls and seven were boys and of the teachers one was hearing and one was deaf. The third teacher was only temporarily in the class and was not included in the analysis. The recorded material was transcribed and analyzed in six steps. The results show that the teachers are most restrictive in whole class teaching while there is more participation from the pupils in half class teaching. In the small group problem solving the teachers seem to be more interested in the group process than in getting an answer to the problem. This gives a lot of room for individual actions and interaction of a relational kind rather than educational. There tend to be some visible differences between the hearing and the deaf teacher. The former uses a more individual approach towards the pupils, I-Gaze, which leaves room for the pupils to be engaged in other activities. The deaf teacher on the other hand keeps all the pupils engaged by using a group approach, G-Gaze. Other differences are the use of literacy tools where the deaf teacher situates the material and keeps the attention of the pupils by telling a narrative. Concerning differences between boys and girls it is evident that the boys are more dominant in whole class and half class interactions while the girls tend to take over the teacher role in small group interaction. These results are discussed in relation to theoretical background and research on classroom interaction in the compulsory school and in schools for deaf pupils.
