ABOUT  SEARCH:

• The  conclusions  presented  come  from  an  ethnographic  research,  performed  during  a  doctoral  research  in  a  federal  insPtuPon  of  higher  educaPon  in  Brazil,  which  was  defended  in  2011.    

• The  main  objec9ve  of  the  study  linked  to  socio-­‐anthropological  perspecPve  of  deafness  was  idenPfied  in  pedagogical  prac9ce,  evidences  to  jusPfy  the  finding  that  the  deaf  in  their  majority  are  taken  to  the  funcPonal  illiterate  condiPon  aWer  years  on  the  school  benches.

The  universe  studied  in  this  deaf  school:

• The  research  context  chosen  was  a  Brazilian  school  for  the  deaf,  which  idenPfies  itself  as  an  insPtuPon  with  a  bilingual  educaPonal  philosophy.    

•  fourteen  (14)  deaf  students  in  seventh  series,  in  addiPon  to  the  teachers  that  ministered  Libras  and  Portuguese  Language.  

•   The  fieldwork  was  done  through  the  observaPon  of  disciplines  classes  Libras  e  Portuguese  Language  during  the  school  year  of  2010.

In  Portuguese  Language  classes  as  in  Libras  what  prevailed  was:  

• Oralist  educaPon      

 

• Bimodal  communicaPon

In  Portuguese  Language  classes:  absence  of  the  deaf  subject:

• A  school  for  the  deaf  what  prevails  is  the  listener  culture.  

• The  spoken  language  is  presented  as  the  only  means  of  communicaPon.  

• The  Sign  Language  is  not  considered  a  form  of  communicaPon.

For  deaf  adolescents  teacher  should  use  materials  that  match  the  age  of  the  students.  Example:

Protest   at   Gallaudet  University, 1988

Journal of the deaf texts on  The history of deaf people  

Movement  deaf  for  recogniPon  the  Brazilian  Sign  Language  and  the  bilingual  school

What  prevailed  in  the  classroom,  in  the  discipline  of  learning  Portuguese  was  the  emphasis  on  mechanical  copying  of  content.

 •  Text  translaPon  into  English:  Structuring  blocks  SUBJECT  Read  and  observe:  PRAYER  The  clown  gave  somersaults.  Who  gave  somersaults?          →  clown  ↓  

                                                                                                                       subject  

• In  the  classroom  student  only  copies  and  responds  by  model.  

• There  is  no  comparison  between  the  Portuguese  Language  and  Libras.  

• It  is  not  made  use  of  bilingual  material.

In  class  Portuguese  Language  should  be  prioriQzed  materials  produced  by  deaf  authors  as:

In  Libras,  the  teacher  reduced  their  use  of  sign  language  to  a  mere  translaQon  of  Portuguese  lexical  items.

In  Libras  classes  students  should  study:

•   The  Sign  Language  grammar  • Read  in  Sign  Language:  poetry  deaf,    literature  deaf,  newspaper  deaf,    ...  

• Produce  texts  in  sign  language:  filmed  and  evaluated  by  the  teacher  and  classmates.  

•  Tests  should  be  in  sign  language.  Important:  • Deaf  teacher  is  a  model  needs  to  show  that  is  proud  to  be  deaf  and  sign  language.

Conclusion  of  the  research:

•   Do  not  just  take  the  bilingual  school  name  of  deaf,    need  to  have  a    bilingual  pracPce.              

 •   We  need  the  radical  transformaPon  of  regular  teaching  pracPces  and  qualified  teachers,  aware  of  the    deaf  students’  learning  process  in  order  to  organize  a  curriculum  from  the  visuo-­‐spaPal  perspecPve,  that  meets  the  deaf  culture,  deconstrucPng  the  point  of    view  in  which  the  deaf  are  regarded  as  incapable  of  learning.

My  opinion:

• We  deaf  have  the  same  right  to  quality  educaPon  than  the  listeners.  

• We  are  not  deficient,  defecPve.  We  are  deaf  !  

• Deaf  teacher  needs  to  show  that  shame  is  to  have  prejudice  and  we  can  not  accept  discriminaPon.  

• We  need  to  teach  the  deaf  to  love  yourself!
