A utilização do AVA Moodle e TDIC na aprendizagem de libras na modalidade semipresencial

Abstract

Under Federal Decree No. 5,626 of 2005, health and education professionals must have knowledge of Libras to obtain communication and care for the deaf (BRASIL, 2005b). This fact increases the curriculum and demanded more knowledge from these professionals. In this context, what is the best way to introduce the teaching of Libras in the curriculum of these professionals without leaving them overwhelmed? Could the technologies through EAD help in this process? Throughout the research will be analyzed how the technologies through the EAD can help in this process, and if they can be configured as an alternative approach to the learning of Libras. In this article we analyze the use of the blended learning methodology for learning Libras in a university extension course, verifying how AVA Moodle and TDIC have helped in the learning process of this language. For this, the methodological design used is predominantly qualitative, using the case study and, as instruments and data collection techniques, the direct documentation with participant intensive direct observation described by Andrade (2010) in which the researcher participates in the situations observed with the aid of the electronic questionnaire semistructured with mixed questions to analyze a class of the extension course in blended learning of Libras. The results of this work helped to reflect how substantial is the potential that the EAD and the TDIC have in helping the teaching of Libras, besides the possibility of serving as a support framework for new research, projects and even courses.
