Ensino da matemática para alunos surdos

Abstract

This work presents the main challenges and difficulties that deaf students and teachers face in Mathematics Teaching. A chronology is presented regarding the education of the deaf in Brazil, also discussing the Brazilian Sign Language, methodologies and materials applied in the school environment, as well as strategies or games in teaching, with the intention of awakening these students' curiosity towards mathematics . The general objective of the work is to investigate the ways classes are taught for deaf students, looking for new ways that help in the teaching-learning process. The methodology used was exploratory bibliographical research, complemented by field research with the intention of collecting data related to teaching practice applied to deaf students, in order to observe whether theory interacts with practice. To collect data, a questionnaire using Google Forms was used with the coordinator and teachers. The results reveal that teaching for deaf students still needs to evolve a lot, and even with their rights achieved, more inclusion of these students is needed. It is concluded that the topic always needs to be studied and discussed, so that everyone becomes aware and knows how to help deaf people at school and at work.
