SABERES E IDENTIDADES DE PROFESSORES DE LIBRAS

Abstract

The objective of this research was to identify the training in Libras in the teacher training courses of Federal Institutions in the State of Goiás, for this purpose, this research is an exploratory qualitative approach, since its initial objective is to explore a bibliographic survey. Regarding technical procedures, we initially performed a critical analysis of bibliographic references in order to develop a theoretical-methodological reflection showing the implications and consequences of the problem of this project. The research has the theme Knowledge and Identities of Libras teachers in elementary school, where we set out to identify what knowledge is necessary for teaching in the constitution of the identity of the Libras teacher with regard to initial teacher training courses. After the investigation procedure of the bibliographic review, it is concluded that education for the deaf was achieved with a lot of struggle on the part of the deaf community, especially with regard to prejudice. It stands out as the first school for the deaf, founded in Brazil, the “Imperial Institute of the Deaf-Mute”, currently, “National Institute for the Education of the Deaf” - INES. In addition to this achievement, the creation of Law No. 10,436, of April 24, 2002, which establishes the recognition of LIBRAS as the official language used by Deaf communities, also stands out as a milestone for deaf education. Thus, teacher training in Libras is essential to achieve the objective of the law. However, it is still necessary to improve the teaching of teachers in pounds.
