Tecnologias assistivas na educação com ênfase no auditivo: um mapeamento sistemático da literatura

Abstract

The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) reports that more than 1.5 billion people face some level of hearing impairment. In light of this, the educational inclusion of individuals with varying degrees of hearing impairment or deafness is a challenge that requires the implementation of appropriate strategies and resources. In this context, Assistive Technologies (AT) play a fundamental role as tools to support deaf or hearing-impaired students in educational environments. This work provides an updated overview of the use of assistive technologies in supporting the teaching and learning activities of deaf individuals or those with some level of hearing impairment. To achieve this, a systematic literature mapping was conducted using well-established guidelines in the academic community. The results obtained indicate the presence of solutions aimed at supporting and qualifying teachers, as well as aiding in the learning process of students. The latter showed predominantly in this mapping. There was also an observed concentration of aid and learning solutions geared towards children in early childhood education stages. It is believed that the results obtained in this study are complementary to the knowledge already established in the literature, and they may serve as a basis for conducting further research, providing valuable information about technologies and key strategies related to auditory use in education.
