Desafios do ensino de matemática para alunos surdos: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The present study has the general objective of analyze scientific research that has as its main theme the approach to teaching mathematics to deaf students, from the perspective of the education professional’ s conception, exploring their main challenges in teaching. Readings were accomplished and, consequently, the literature review was carried out with the articles found in searches using the descriptors “mathematical education”, “deaf”, “inclusion” and “regular education”. The databases for the surveys were SciELO.org and Google Scholar. Six surveys were used in the analysis to build this sample.The researches analyzed have as the main context the current parameter of Brazilian schools in the sense of putting in evidence the challenges faced by teachers when encountering deaf and/or hearing impaired students. For the elaboration of this article and data analysis, we bring authors such as Silva (2017), Fronza (2012), Cruz (2007), Lima (2019), Nery and Batista (2004), among others. Two categories were created for a better analysis of the data, with regard to the teaching modalities and pedagogical practices applied by teachers. The results show that teachers do not share the same communication channel of the deaf students, once they do not dominate Libras. They also point out the importance of using visual resources for the teaching of deaf people, in addition, it was found that the presence of the Libras interpreter inside the classroom is not a guarantee for inclusion to actually happen.
