Acessibilidade em vídeos na área de biologia para alunos surdos: uma investigação da produção dos Institutos Federais do nordeste

Abstract

Certainly, digital technologies can contribute as educational resources in the education of deaf students. Meaningful learning through videos is an ongoing challenge, but good applied practice opens up possibilities to improve the efficiency of the art of teaching, both for deaf students and students who do not have disabilities. The present work aims to analyze how accessibility resources for the deaf are present in the Biology videos made available by IFs in the Northeast region. In addition to cataloging videos from IFs in the Northeast in the area of Biology with accessibility resources; identify the main accessibility features used in videos found on the YouTube platform and identify the main adjustments necessary for the accessibility of videos. Some authors such as Moraes and Torres (2004), Krasilchik (2008) and Rangel and Stumpf (2015) played a fundamental role in providing the essential theoretical basis to support this article. From searches on the YouTube platform seeking to cover the 11 Federal Institutes of the Northeast, between 2020 and 2022. According to the data found on the YouTube platform, it is clear that there is a precarious supply of Biology videos with accessibility for deaf students on some IF channels. Furthermore, most of the videos are from the Univerciência program and are accessible with an interpreter and offering good illustrations and images in the videos.
