A pedagogia visual na formação de professores como prática inclusiva para a educação de surdos

Abstract

This research project focuses on the pedagogical practices carried out in classrooms with deaf students undergoing the process of inclusion. Its main objective is to analyze teachers’ instructional strategies concerning the use of visual pedagogy to promote inclusive education for deaf students at Centro de Ensino Odolfo Medeiros in Caxias, Maranhão. The study follows a qualitative approach, incorporating bibliographic, documentary, and field research, with the aim of gathering information on how pedagogical practices are implemented by teachers working with deaf students at the school. For data collection, questionnaires and semi-structured interview guides were used. The sample consists of six teachers who work with deaf students in high school classes. In this context, the educational strategies within teachers’ pedagogical practices were analyzed to understand their effectiveness in supporting the inclusion of deaf students. The goal is to contribute to improved interaction and learning for these students through the development of an educational resource, created in the form of an e-book, designed to foster practical teaching situations that respect the educational particularities of deaf students, based on visual pedagogy, and aligned with the research problem and objectives.
