Um olhar sobre a inclusão: experiências e vivências de um aluno surdo no ensino superior

Abstract

This research was developed in a university located in the city of Garanhuns-PE. Its objective was to identify the actions developed in the institution aiming at the entrance and permanence of a deaf student in the pedagogy course, comparing their experiences with that of a former deaf student, graduated in this same course. We sought to know the political and pedagogical conceptions that permeate the inclusion of the deaf student in the university spaces. For this, interviews and observations were used as a data collection technique. The research is a case study with qualitative approach, with the participation of eight teachers, two interpreters and two deaf. For a better understanding on the subject, it was decided to make a historical outline of the main social and political events that precede the perspective of inclusion. For such, had as theoretical contribution the studies of Vasconcelos (2006 and 2018), Skliar (2005; 1998 e and 1999) among others. It was realized that an education based on difference and respect for the rights of the deaf person is necessary and urgent, making progress for all possible, since, as in the university, society still lives a confused moment about what to do to that inclusion actually happens, when public policies and current legislation show that it is the right of the deaf to be in the classroom and have the conditions of access and permanence with quality learning. The study also showed the need for greater propagation and use of sign language throughout the academic community, because it is through language and its interaction with the world that the human being is constituted.
