ENSINO DE MATEMÁTICA PARA SURDOS: POTENCIALIDADES DE VÍDEOS COM DIFERENTES GÊNEROS TEXTUAIS

Abstract

This work has the objective of analyzing whether the videos produced within three projects developed at UFPel could contribute to teaching Mathematics to Deaf students when considering different textual genres. These projects are: MathLibras, that discusses and elaborates mathematic video lessons in Libras, Obalibras, that investigates and produces Learning Objects focused on teaching Libras and Spread the Sign, that maps and registers Libras in an International Sign Language Dictionary through the analysis and investigation of the language lexical issues. These projects, considering their research scope, specificities, and objectives, produce videos in Libras which are conveyed as different textual genres. The methodology adopted in this article is a descriptive analysis of these videos, investigating their potentialities to teaching Mathematics. The concepts of Deferred Textuality, Visual Literacy and Textual Genres contribute to the analysis of the videos and are associated to the discussion about teaching Mathematics. As our results we highlight that the projects' videos contribute to teaching Mathematics to Deaf students, both individually and combined, considering the different contexts in which they could be used: inclusive classrooms, bilingual schools, Specialized Educational Assistance classrooms, Libras' classes, among others.

Keywords: Teaching Mathematics; Libras; Videos in Libras; Bilingual Deaf Education; Textual Genres.
