Percepções do sujeito surdo sobre sua trajetória escolar

Abstract

This research has as study object the deaf people education and the perspective of deaf people about their school trajectory. The research problem was: "How do deaf people narrate their school career”? The development of this research is justified by a reason of personal relevance: as a deaf person, I feel the real concern with the performance of the deaf people in school; why most deaf people, as I, during the school history, suffered a lot of damage due to the lack of access to contents. Unlike the listener, deaf people do not have access to knowledge. There is a delay of deaf people in terms of the acquisition of school knowledge. This is serious. I want to research this topic also to contribute to research in University, help the deaf community, academics, and education professionals. This study aims to present the perceptions of deaf subjects about their respective school trajectories. The research has a basic and qualitative approach, and as for its objectives, it is exploratory research, bibliographic, and field type. The study data will be collected from many and diverse bibliographic sources, such as books, articles, periodicals, and websites. The data collected in the field research were obtained through distance, semi-structured interviews, which were recorded for later transcription. Two deaf people were interviewed, one of the participants who graduated in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras)/Portuguese, and the other subject, a student of Modern Languages. The information collected was recorded and subsequently analyzed. At first, the researcher contacted the participants to invite them to take part in the research. The participants accepted. After accepting explanations about the research purpose, each participant signed the Informed Consent Form.
