Propostas alternativas para a educação inclusiva a surdos: enfoque nos conteúdos de balanceamento de equações químicas e estequiometria para o ensino médio

Abstract

There are few studies that relate the chemistry teaching for pupils with special educational needs. Smaller additionally, the number of studies directed to offer differentiated teaching strategies focusing on learning, especially, the deaf student is very low. In view of this, the greatest desire of this research was to cross these two lines: teaching chemistry and education of deaf students. In the present study, we seek to propose teaching strategies that would meet the specific characteristics of the deaf subject and that would help the teacher's practice for these students. In that direction, teaching and assessment strategies for the chemical reactions balancing content and stoichiometry have been developed with and for the deaf. We defend that all teaching practice focused on work with these students need to be guided by the visual pedagogy and the use of concrete pedagogical materials. In order to provide access to facilitated chemical content for these students, we emphasize that is need to return all possible efforts in the preparation and dissemination of teaching strategies and scientific terminologies in Libras. We realize that it is still necessary more advances in such subject. Further investigations need to be performed in this area and disseminated for professionals that work directly with the educational reality.
