abstract: Historically, music and the experiences of deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals have been intertwined in one manner or another. However, music has never ignited as much hope for the “improvement” of the Deaf experience as during the American oralist movement (ca. 1880-1960) which prioritized lip-reading and speaking over the use of sign language. While it is acknowledged that the oralist movement failed to provide the best possible education to many American DHH students and devastated many within the Deaf community, music scholars have continued to cite publications by oralist educators as rationales for the continued development of music programs for DHH students. This document is an attempt to reframe the role of music during the American oralist movement with a historical account of ways music was recruited as a tool for teaching vocal articulation at schools for the deaf from 1900 to 1960. During this time period, music was recruited simply as a utility to overcome disability and as an aid for assimilating into the hearing world rather than as the rich experiential phenomenon it could have been for the DHH community. My goal is to add this important caveat to the received history of early institutional music education for DHH students. Primary sources include articles published between 1900 and 1956 in The Volta Review, a journal founded by the oralist leader Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922). / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Music 2017

Esta pesquisa analisa os primeiros marcadores de aquisição de língua de sinais em uma criança surda, filha de pais ouvintes em um ambiente onde a língua foi propiciada por meio de interlocutores Surdos e ouvintes, usuários da Libras. Ao considerarmos que, a criança surda tem seu desenvolvimento de linguagem construído prioritariamente na escola especial, discutiremos o papel dos interlocutores envolvidos nessa relação e procuraremos compreender o efeito do ambiente na construção da língua de sinais em crianças surdas, filhas de pais ouvintes. O trabalho se fundamenta na teoria histórico-social de Vygotsky e seus seguidores, pressupondo a linguagem como constitutiva do conhecimento e construtora de sentidos. A pesquisa foi realizada, na Escola para Crianças Surdas Rio Branco da Fundação de Rotarianos de São Paulo onde foi criado no ano de 2001 o Programa de Estimulação do Desenvolvimento. A fonoaudióloga e atual pesquisadora, junto com um instrutor surdo nesse programa que tem por objetivos principais a aquisição da língua de sinais das crianças inscritas e o aprendizado da língua pelos pais. A pesquisa se desenvolveu nesse espaço e o material colhido durante a realização do Programa teve quatro episódios recortados, que aqui serão apresentados e discutidos. O material foi analisado em uma perspectiva microgenética buscando, o efeito de do ambiente e evidenciando as marca do desenvolvimento da língua de sinais e seus efeitos na relação e na aquisição da língua. Desse material analisado, concluímos que o pressuposto de linguagem a partir do qual concebemos a criança Surda é determina os serviços que oferecemos a ela, assim ao concebermos a linguagem como constitutiva do sujeito. Modificando o modo de significar esses sujeitos e podemos nos organizar socialmente de modo que a criança Surda possa nascer culturalmente. Esses pressupostos devem ser colocados em trabalhos que se destinem a bebês Surdos, pois somente o trabalho com bebês Surdos que contemple a interlocução com um outro significativo Surdo possibilitará o pleno desenvolvimento lingüístico, social e cultural desse bebê como alguém que pertencerá a uma comunidade de iguais na sua diferença, mas que compartilham a mesma língua e a mesma visão de mundo. / This research analyses the first markers of Sign Language acquisition in a deaf child from hearing parents in an environment where the language was present by Deaf and hearing partners who use Libras. Considering that the deaf child has the development of language built mainly at the special school, we will discuss the role of the interlocutors involved in this relationship and we will try to understand the effect of the environment on the construction of Sign Language in Deaf children from hearing parents. This work is derived from Vigotsky social-historical theory and his followers. We understand that language constitutes the foundation of knowledge and is responsible for the construction of meanings. The research took place at the Escola para Crianças Surdas Rio Branco da Fundação de Rotarianos de São Paulo where the Development Stimulation Program was created in 2001. The language therapist, who is also the researcher, worked together with a Deaf instructor in this Program and they had, as main objective, the acquisition of Sign language by the children enrolled in the Program and the learning of sign language by the parents. The research was developed at the school and the material that will be presented and discussed is based on four sessions that were selected from the Program. The data was analyzed in a micro genetic perspective searching the effect of the environment and evidencing the development marks of the Sign Language and its effects in the language relation and acquisition. From the material analyzed we concluded that the projected way we consider language and how we perceive the Deaf child is what establishes the services that are offered to him/her. So, when we conceive language as a tool for the constitution of the human being, we modify the way we represent the Deaf child and we can organize ourselves in a social way that allows the child to be born culturally. These assumptions must be used in works that are intended to Deaf babies because only the work with Deaf babies contemplates the interrelation with one Deaf significant that will allow the baby cultural, social and linguistic entire development as someone that will belong to a community of equals in their difference but that share the same language and the same world comprehension.

That deafness is more than an organic handicap requiring training and education in special schools has been increasingly recognized in recent years. Modern approaches to care for the young deaf child stress the importance of (a) early diagnosis and (b) of pre-school auditory and speech training. It is also recognized (c) that the most influential forces in the emotional and social development of the child are his experiences in his own home during the first five or six years of his life. For these reasons, in newly-developed audiology centres and speech and hearing clinics throughout Britain, the United States, and Canada, social workers take part in a multi-professional team approach to meet the differential needs of individual children and parents. The present study is developed from the operations of the Speech and Hearing Clinic of the Health Centre for Children at the Vancouver General Hospital. The case records selected for study relate to all hearing handicapped pre-school children known to the Clinic and born in 1954 or 1955. Two separate rating scales were developed to make an assessment of (a) the child's emotional and social adjustment and (b) of parental and family strengths. These are compared at the time of (1) initial evaluation, and (2) after a period of two years making it possible to examine the influences which may promote or inhibit the healthy development of the young deaf child and have a bearing on his response to treatment. This is a first exploratory study of the areas significant for the social work contributions to the treatment process. Nevertheless there are sharp evidences of correlation between social environment, especially parent-child relationships and the emotional, social, and intellectual adjustment of the hearing-handicapped child. Effectiveness of treatment seems to depend to a considerable degree on parental attitudes and feelings toward the handicapped child. Parent education and guidance, and, if necessary the modification of parental attitudes is therefore an essential component in the overall treatment process. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

Little is known about the deaf as a group. Most of the studies that have been done concerning their problem have been about the medical, educational and psychological aspects of their disability with very little emphasis on their vocational and social problems and needs. The study began from two basic hypotheses: first, that there is a correlation between deafness and unemployment status, with a disproportionate number of the deaf being found in low status, low paying jobs, and secondly, that the deaf in British Columbia at the present time, are receiving a limited amount of services. The particular focus of the study was the problems and experience of a sample of young deaf adolescents and adults in training for, finding and holding jobs. The sample group chosen was the total group of graduates and school leavers from the Jericho Hill School for the Deaf, Vancouver, British Columbia, a residential School which takes pupils from all socio-economic levels, including day pupils, for the period July 1956-July 1965. A schedule of research questions was devised which included investigation of the following areas: (1) what vocational assessment, counselling and placement services were available to and utilized by the sample group (2) what jobs they obtained and how they obtained them (3) what their attitudes were to their jobs and fellow workers (4) what job aspirations they had and whether they attained them (5) what opinions they had about the kinds of help they needed (6) what their intelligence quotients were, as a crude index of their capabilities to cope with further training and education. A research design of a diagnostic descriptive type was next devised, which comprised a number of steps, including (1) the interviewing of experts in the field (2) the devising of a questionnaire to be sent to the school graduates (3) the interviewing of a sample of respondents willing to be interviewed (4) the relation of the insights and information obtained, to the determining of what services should be recommended in order to provide more adequate services for the deaf. Of the total group of 78 school leavers, 38 responded to the questionnaire of whom 14 were interviewed. Twenty-two of the 38 respondents were employed. The major findings of the study were that; the employed deaf in the sample group who have received no further education or training are working in low paid, low status jobs, regardless of the level of their intelligence or desires for further training. This is one-half of the total sample group. Of those who obtained vocational training including on-the-job training, it would be true to say that this did improve their economic status. However there is a tendency for this group to be frozen in bottom level positions with few prospects of advancements. Of the small group proceeding to advanced education at Gallaudet College, it is as yet too soon to say what their vocational prospects will be. An additional finding was that most job placement was done by families, friends and Jericho Hill School, with very little by community agencies. A lack of spacific services indispensable to the deaf, was found, particularly in relation to use of interpreters. A further finding was the "orality" of deaf people in the sample interviewed as defined by ability to use speech in everyday living at a level intelligible to strangers, was far below this standard, with one exception. An additional finding was that the inability to achieve a satisfactory level of orality appears to be related to feelings of failure and inferiority in the deaf and to interfere to some extent with the deaf person's concentration on the acquisition of written skills. There was considerable evidence that social and recreational activities play a specially important role in the lives of deaf people, and may even determine the location of the jobs they seek. As many are unable to enjoy an outlet for their frustrations and tensions by communicating orally with their fellow workers, it is important to them to be with other deaf people for some of their recreation, because with such a group they are released from the constant strain of lip reading or writing everything down. In contrast to the findings of two American studies, there was little, if any correlation found between such factors as type of job obtained and lip reading ability and preferred methods of communication used at work. Nor was there any correlation between these factors and income obtained, job stability and attitudes to the job and to fellow workers. Total or partial deafness, day or residential status did not appear to affect any of the factors mentioned either positively or negatively. This may have been due to the size of the sample group and two other factors, first, that almost all the group became deaf before the age when speech patterns are normally acquired, or were born deaf. Secondly, the sample contained no respondents in the managerial, technical or professional classes, and few in the craftsman class. A number of specific recommendations were made. Some of these pertained to the establishment of the necessary services, especially those of assessment, counselling, placement and follow-up services. Some pertained to an expansion of the roles of government and private agencies, and some pertained to educational practices in the field of education for the deaf. Special emphasis was placed on the improving of ways of determining much earlier in the education of the deaf child than is currently the practice the level of orality he is likely to reach, so that vocational and educational plans for him can be adapted to his needs. A further recommendation was that it is important to include in the educational programmes for parents of deaf children, opportunities to meet with the adult deaf. In the area of prevention, routine use of hearing tests for the newborn was emphasized. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

This work assumptions that there is a Deaf culture; however, this is still not socially or academically, recognized; this condition, is essential to affirmation of Deaf rights. The main claim sustained here is a Deaf Curriculum, made up by Deaf community which the natural language applied is LIBRAS; because is a right to the deaf subject an education that recognizes and values its own difference, characteristic and peculiarities: a Deaf Culture. Current education is not able to guarantee the rights to a Deaf subject mainly because of incapacity and/or unaccepting of their own culture and identity and it’s happening because of the knowledge lack around Deaf culture. Also impacts directly on their development and specially does not supports their rights as citizens as well. To investigate this issue this doctoral dissertation presents an study from the main experts in Deaf Culture; analysis of some studies regarding Deaf Culture; theories of identity, and also of Deaf Identities and also the epistemology of Brazilian Sign Language – LIBRAS. Also it’s going to present a research in curriculum, raising the critical points regarding of pre-training, bringing issues about political rights of Deaf community, we propose the curriculum that is presented by the Deaf, the Curriculum in LIBRAS. To sustain the whole theory, looked for discuss the practice of all these ideas and reflections as well. The Deaf communities was the subject of this research and were analyzed and observed directly under the school space, choosing spaces that is prioritizing the use of LIBRAS to teaching, as the case of current Bilingual Schools (it’s offered in few places in Brazil, since it is not an offer guaranteed, schools where is being using the native language of the Deaf). It has been proven that experiences shared within of deaf community allow the Deaf to feel able and lives an own culture The deaf that grown up in contact with other Deaf, are raised to live in a Deaf reality, since that period, up to adults, participating in the Deaf movements, building up their own identity and enable to enjoy fully their citizenship, in full exercise of their rights / O objetivo central desta tese é desvelar o elo entre a cultura Surda e o currículo escolar e a importância de se trabalhar com ambos unificados como um só: um Currículo Surdo. Trazemos neste trabalho o pressuposto de que existe cultura Surda, no entanto, isto ainda não está, socialmente e academicamente, reconhecido; condição esta que é indispensável para a afirmação dos direitos dos Surdos. O direito que sustentamos aqui é de um Currículo Surdo, constituído pela comunidade Surda e cuja língua natural é Libras; pois é de direito ao sujeito Surdo uma educação que reconheça e valorize sua sua diferença e suas especificidades, suas particularidades: a Cultura Surda. O problema fundamental, então, é que a educação não tem sido um direito assegurado aos Surdos devido a seu impedimento e à inaceitação de sua cultura e identidade; e isso se dá pelo desconhecimento da cultura Surda; desconhecimento tal que impede o reconhecimento da mesma, o seu desenvolvimento no currículo escolar dos Surdos e, sobretudo, o cumprimento de seus direitos como cidadãos. Para investigar este problema, apresentamos, no decorrer desta tese, um estudo a partir dos principais e precursores estudiosos da Cultura Surda; análise de alguns estudos consolidados da Cultura Surda; teorias da Identidade, das Identidades Surdas, do Ser Surdo e da Epistemologia da Língua de Sinais. Após localizar também a pesquisa em currículo, levantar críticas à semi-formação, trazer questões do desempoderamento e direitos políticos dos Surdos, propomos o currículo que é apresentado pelo Surdo, o Currículo em Libras. Para sustentar toda a teoria, buscou-se discutir também a prática de todas estas concepções e reflexões. O objeto de pesquisa foram as comunidades surdas, analisadas sob observação participativa dentro do espaço escolar, escolhendo espaços de aprendizagem que priorizassem o uso da Libras, como é o caso das atuais Escolas Bilíngues (oferecidas em poucos lugares do Brasil, já que não é uma oferta garantida, escolas onde a língua de instrução é a língua materna dos Surdos). Comprovou-se que as experiências compartilhadas dentro da comunidade surda permitem aos Surdos se sentirem capazes e sujeitos culturais. Surdos que crescem em contato com outros Surdos são criados para viver em uma realidade Surda e desde esse período, até quando já adultos, participando dos movimentos Surdos, constroem sua identidade e se habilitam a usufruir inteiramente de sua cidadania, no pleno exercício dos seus direitos

Thesis (MEd)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Internationally, the right of people with disabilities to participate as full members of society presently receives high priority and inclusive education is one way of facilitating participation. With South Africa firmly committed to a rights culture, it is a matter of time before inclusive education is implemented as policy. Since the education of the deaf presents its own challenges, questions abound around the inclusion of learners who are deaf in mainstream classes. This study seeks to explore the implications of the education of a learner who is deaf in a mainstream class and to explore the factors that facilitate learning in such a setting. An eco-systemic approach underpins the study. Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors in reciprocal interaction influence the learning of the deaf in mainstream classes. Several of these factors are explored in the international literature. Against this background, this study sets out to examine some of the factors mentioned in the literature as well as additional factors within the context of a rural South African school. A single learner who is deaf within the context of the family and education system was chosen as the focus of a qualitative, case study. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, field notes and a review of personal records. Interviews were held with educators, the principal, a support educator, the learner and the learner's mother. The data were analysed using aspects of content analysis and five patterns emerged. These were child related factors, family factors, school factors, support and factors pertaining to the education department. The findings indicated that the parameters of deafness which facilitated the leamer's success in the mainstream were a mixed hearing loss which benefited from hearing aids to the extent that the learner was able to access the curriculum by means of verbal communication with some compensatory behaviours and learning support. A positive attitude on the part of the school and a willingness to support him as well as good social integration were school-related factors that facilitated inclusion. Achievement enhancing factors despite poor socio-economic conditions were family-related factors that facilitated learning. Intensive early intervention formed a good foundation and continued to be of benefit. Several factors which could be improved were identified and recommendations were made. Since the impact of deafness differs from learner to leamer, each learner's needs has to be considered individually and placement decisions in one of a range of supportive settings be matched against this need. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dowe onderrig bied eie uitdagings. Internasionaal ontvang die reg van persone met gestremdhede om as volwaardige lede in die gemeenskap opgeneem te word, hoë prioriteit. Inklusiewe onderwys is een manier waarop insluiting en deelname in die gemeenskap vergemaklik kan word. Met die beoogde implementering van 'n beleid van inklusiewe onderwys in Suid-Afrika ontstaan daar vrae rondom die insluiting van leerders wat doof is in hoofstroom klasse. Hierdie studie poog om die implikasies wat onderrig van 'n leerder wat doof is in 'n hoofstroom klas inhou, te ondersoek. Die faktore wat leer in so 'n omgewing vergemaklik, is ook ondersoek. 'n Eko-sistemiese benadering is in die studie gebruik. 'n Enkele leerder wat doof is, is binne die konteks van sy familie en die onderwyssisteem gekies as onderwerp van 'n kwalitatiewe gevallestudie. Beide intrinsieke en ekstrinsieke faktore in wedersydse kommunikasie, beïnvloed die leer van dowe persone. In internasionale literatuur het faktore soos die aard van die doofheid, persoonlikheid, intellektuele funksionering, sosiale integrasie en skool- en familie verwante faktore aandag geniet en daar is bevind dat dit 'n impak op die leerder se sukses binne 'n inklusiewe leeromgewing het. Teen hierdie agtergrond is hierdie studie geloods om bogenoemde faktore en faktore uniek aan die situasie binne die konteks van 'n landelike Suid-Afrikaanse skool te ondersoek. Semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude IS gevoer met opvoeders, die skoolhoof, 'n leerondersteuningsopvoeder, die leerder en sy ouers. Veldnotas en In oorsig van persoonlike verslae is ook gebruik om inligting oor die leerder en die onderrig en leerproses te bekom. Die data is geanaliseer deur gebruik te maak van aspekte van inhoud analisering. Vyf patrone het na vore gekom, naamlik intrinsieke kindverwante faktore, familiefaktore, skoolverwante faktore, faktore rakende ondersteuning en faktore rakende die onderwysdepartement. Die bevindinge dui daarop dat Inleerder met 'n gehoorverlies wat deur 'n gehoorapparaat in staat gestel word om verbale kommunikasie te volg binne 'n leeromgewing waar daar die nodige ondersteuning is, groter sukses behaal. 'n Positiewe houding teenoor die leerder, 'n bereidwilligheid van opvoeders om die leerder te ondersteun en goeie sosiale integrasie is skoolverwante faktore wat insluiting vergemaklik. Familieverwante faktore wat leer aanmoeding lei tot verhoogde prestasies ten spyte van lae sosioekonomiese omstandighede. Intensiewe vroeë intervensies lê In goeie grondslag en lei tot langtermyn positiewe gevolge. Verskeie faktore waar daar ruimte VIT verbeteringe is, is geïdentifiseer en aanbevelings is gemaak. Terwyl sekere faktore in hierdie ondersoek geïdentifiseer is as kritiek in die fasilitering van leer in 'n inklusiewe omgewing, moet daarmee rekening gehou word dat die unieke interaksie van 'n ander stel intrinsieke veranderlikes en ekstrinsieke veranderlikes 'n ander stel kritieke faktore kan produseer. Die behoeftes van elke leerder wat doof is, sal dus op 'n individuele basis in ag geneem moet word sodat plasing binne die ondersteunende omgewing wat die beste in sy behoeftes voorsien, gedoen kan word.

A partir da promulgação da Resolução CNE/CEB Nº 2, de fevereiro de 2001, indivíduos surdos obtiveram a oportunidade de ser integrados à escola básica ao receberem acesso aos conteúdos curriculares presentes no Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE). Desde então vem se buscando metodologias que ofereçam uma educação que atenda a esses alunos de forma adequada, alicerçada não somente na linguagem verbal e escrita, mas também na primeira língua do surdo, a Língua Brasileira de Sinais (LIBRAS). Diante do desafio de propiciar o ensino, principalmente em ciências, algumas alternativas foram selecionadas a luz da Pedagogia Visual, que tem como principal alicerce o argumento de que indivíduos surdos apresentam uma capacidade visual muito além daquela possuída pelo indivíduo ouvinte. A primeira alternativa, denominada \"Mapa Conceitual\", se adéqua a Pedagogia Visual por sua estrutura em moldes de diagrama, porém ainda possui uma base muito ligada a linguagem escrita, o que dificulta o aprendizado em alunos que ainda não possuem uma fluência na língua portuguesa, ou seja, ainda não são bilíngues. Outra dificuldade se encontra nos primeiros anos do ensino fundamental, em que alunos surdos ingressantes não apresentam fluência nem mesmo em LIBRAS, mas exibem um sistema particular de sinais apoiados na visão. Esse déficit pode ser contornado pela segunda alternativa, denominada de \"Modelo Qualitativo\" baseado em Raciocínio Qualitativo (RQ). O modelo qualitativo além de apresentar uma base gráfica que atende a pedagogia visual, trabalha com modelos de causalidade, emulando um sistema da forma mais real possível para que o aluno o compreenda. Para a construção do modelo foi usado um simulador denominado de DynaLearn, desenvolvido com o objetivo de integrar o aprendizado do aluno por meio de modelos qualitativos. Para que isso aconteça foram (I) desenvolvidos modelos qualitativos sobre Poluição Humana baseados em RQ, por meio do software DynaLearn, que atendessem aos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN) do 6º Ano do Ensino Fundamental, especificamente em relação ao ensino de ciências. Em seguida (II) o modelo foi aplicado no ensino de Ciências Naturais, em regime de contra turno, para uma turma de alunos surdos proficientes em LIBRAS, porém deficientes em Língua Portuguesa do Ensino Fundamental I, que posteriormente (III) teve seu aprendizado avaliado por meio de questionários e transcrições das aulas. Conclui-se que a aplicação do modelo qualitativo atingiu seus objetivos ao levar os alunos a desenvolverem o raciocínio qualitativo por meio da compreensão das relações causais, da mesma maneira que o software DynaLearn satisfaz os requisitos visualização requeridos pela Pedagogia Visual, destacando alguns pontos que podem melhorar devido ao público-alvo. Também foi observado que a aquisição de conceitos científicos pelos alunos apresenta relação íntima com seus sinais correspondentes. / Since the enactment of Resolution CNE/CEB No. 2, February 2001, deaf individuals had the opportunity to be integrated into the basic school to receive access to curriculum content present in the Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE). Since then has been seeking methodologies that provide an education that attends these students adequately grounded not only in verbal and written language, but also in the first language of the deaf, the Brazilian Sign Language (known as \"Libras\"). Faced with the challenge of providing education, especially in science, some alternatives were selected in view of Visual Education, whose main foundation the argument that deaf people have a visual capacity beyond that possessed by the individual listener. The first alternative, called \"Concept Map\" fits the Visual Pedagogy by your diagram templates structure, however still has a very connected based written language, which hinders learning in students who do not have fluency in Portuguese, that is, they are not bilingual. Another difficulty is in the early years of elementary school, where new deaf students do not have fluency even in \"Libras\", but show a particular system of signs supported in the vision. This deficit can be overcome for the second alternative, called \"Qualitative Model\" based on Qualitative Reasoning (QR). The qualitative model besides presenting a graphical basis that meets the visual pedagogy, works with causal models, emulating a system more real as possible so that the student understands. For the construction of the model was used a simulator called DynaLearn developed with the aim of integrating student learning through qualitative models. To make it happen were (I) developed qualitative models on Human Pollution based in RQ, through the DynaLearn software, which met the National Curriculum Parameters (NCP) of the 6th year of elementary school, specifically in relation to science teaching. Then (II) the model was applied in the teaching of Natural Sciences, in counter-shift system, to a group of proficient deaf students in \"Libras\" but deficient in Portuguese of the elementary school, which later (III) had their learning assessed by through questionnaires and transcripts lessons. It is concluded that the application of qualitative model reached these objectives by bringing students to develop the qualitative reasoning by understanding the causal relationships in the same way that the DynaLearn software meets the requirements of view required by Visual Education, highlighting some points that can improve due to the target audience. It was also noted that the acquisition of scientific concepts by students presents a close relationship with their corresponding signals.

Este estudo de caso com abordagem qualitativa teve como objetivo refletir e analisar as práticas pedagógicas construídas a partir de uma proposta assumidamente bilíngue para Educação de Surdos, de uma instituição de ensino reconhecida na grande São Paulo. O trabalho foi construído a partir de um panorama legal e político, e seguida dos paradigmas de atendimento aos estudantes surdos contextualizando a proposta bilíngue. A fundamentação teórica histórico-cultural sustenta a análise de dados. A tese apresenta uma análise em profundidade a respeito das interações e da existência da Libras, enquanto língua de ensino e comunicação, ao mesmo tempo em que expressa o espaço no qual isso ocorre. Nesse espaço as relações são consolidadas a partir da Libras, que se configura como protagonista, restando ao português o papel menos expressivo, na composição de um tipo de bilinguismo em que os falantes não detêm o mesmo grau de proficiência nas duas línguas. Os resultados da investigação são apresentados a partir de episódios construídos por meio da triangulação de instrumentos de coleta e de análise microgenética. As categorias são: observação longitudinal, entrevistas semiestruturadas e diário de bordo. Foram construídas as seguintes categorias: 1- uso das línguas - analisando como elas aparecem no ambiente escolar e quais os papéis que exercem enquanto L1 e L2; 2- Relações -refletindo acerca de o que acontece além do espaço da sala de aula, reuniões de pais e atividades culturais fora da escola e o contato com outros ouvintes; 3- Pertencimento - analisando o significado do espaço que a escola exerce na vida dos alunos surdos; 4- Mono ou Bi Espaço das línguas nas atividades ponderando sobre como são realizadas as atividades na L2 leitura e escrita e qual a influência da L1 nesse processo. Constatou-se a preponderância do uso da Libras como língua de comunicação e de instrução, o empoderamento do surdo e de sua identidade, o papel do interlocutor usuário fluente da Libras, para a consolidação da língua por parte da criança surda e adultos surdos desempenhando o papel de modelo possível de ser seguido. As propostas para desenvolvimento e aquisição de conhecimentos e conceitos em Língua Portuguesa, parte do uso dessa língua utilizando imagens ou recursos para compreensão. A sistematização e ensino da norma culta da língua portuguesa na modalidade escrita ainda encontra algumas barreiras a serem superadas. / This case study with a qualitative approach had as objective to consider and to analyze the pedagogical practices constructed from a bilingual proposal for Education of the Deaf, of a recognized teaching institution in the great São Paulo. The work was built from a legal and political perspective, followed by the paradigms of assistance to deaf students contextualizing the bilingual proposal. The theoretical cultural-historical foundation supports the analysis of data. The thesis presents an in-depth analysis regarding the interactions and the existence of Libras, as a language of teaching and communication, while expressing the space in which this occurs. In this space the relations are consolidated from the Libras that is configured as protagonist, remaining to the Portuguese language a less expressive role, in the composition of a type of bilingualism in which the speakers do not hold the same degree of proficiency in the two languages. The results of the investigation are presented from episodes constructed through the triangulation of collection and microgenetic analysis instruments. The categories are: longitudinal observation, semi-structured interviews and logbook. The following categories were constructed: 1- language use - analyzing how they appear in the school environment and what roles they play as L1 and L2; 2- Relationships - considering what happens beyond classroom space, parenting meetings and cultural activities outside of school, and contact with other listeners; 3- Belonging - analyzing the meaning of the space that the school exercises in the lives of deaf students; 4- Mono or Bi - Space of the languages in the activities pondering how the activities in L2 - reading and writing - are carried out and what influence L1 exerts in this process. The predominance of the use of Libras as a language of communication and education, the empowerment of the deaf and his or her identity, the role of the fluent user of Libras, to consolidate the language by deaf children and deaf adults, playing a role model that can be followed. The proposals for development and acquisition of knowledge and concepts in the Portuguese Language, start from the use of this language using images or resources for understanding. The systematization and teaching of the cultured norm of the Portuguese language in written mode still finds some barriers to be overcome.
