BEHARES, Luis E.. La enseñanza en el campo de la sordera. Reflexiones desde la teoría del acontecimiento didáctico. ETD [online]. 2006, vol.07, n.02, pp.229-244. ISSN 1676-2592.

In this paper I discuss certain controversial topics regarding didactic failures in the area of deaf education. The approaches in this area have alternated, since the XVIIIth century, between two tendencies: knowledge transmission device and language reconstruction didactics. The XVIIIth century Manualism and the late XXth century Bilingual Education of the Deaf represent the first approach which has not fulfilled expectations. The second approach is found in the equally unsuccessful Oralism, widely used in the XXth century. These tendencies have already been analysed in detail, but little has been written about their shortcomings. In the framework of the Program for the study of didactics as a discursive event and intersubjectivity (EDADI), developed at the Universidad de la República (Montevideo, Uruguay), we investigate some didactic issues underlying the controversies and failures in deaf education.

Keywords : Deafness; Didactics; Language.
