PRODUÇÃO DE GLOSSÁRIO EM LIBRAS PARA EQUIPAMENTOS DE LABORATÓRIO: OPÇÃO PARA EXPERIMENTAÇÃO QUÍMICA E INCLUSÃO

Abstract

It is observed that one of the difficulties in the teaching of chemistry for deaf students is related to the simulation / language of this science. What is intensified in the experimental classes, since the use of several equipment, whose nomenclature is mentioned during the process of teaching and learning, names that both the deaf students and the interpreters of Libras do not know. In this context, this research had as objective to develop a glossary in LIBRAS for some equipment that are used in Laboratories of Chemistry. This problem arose from the restlessness of a professor of bilingual Chemistry and an interpreter of LIBRAS, in which they realized the lack of signs in the area of Chemistry. Thus, a multidisciplinary team selected 12 commonly used equipment to be created the signals. It is noteworthy that the development of the signs said it is the presence of a deaf person, since a signal cannot be created without the presence, assistance and acceptance of the deaf community. The organization of the material was based on the grammatical parameters of the Brazilian Sign Language, which are: hand configuration, point of articulation, hand orientation, movement and non-manual expression. Finally, it is highlighted that the material aims to contribute to an inclusive education and standardization of specialized chemical language to ensure the efficient communication and development of students' learning.
