SHIMAZAKI, Neide Mitiyo; TORRES, Patrícia Lupion and KOWALSKI, Raquel Pasternak Glitz. THE PRODUCTION OF OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES (OER) IN LIBRAS IN HIGHER EDUCATION. e-Curriculum [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.2, pp.364-392. ISSN 1809-3876. https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2018v16i2p364-392.
The research presents the production of Open Educational Resource (OER) in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) as part of Research and Responsible Innovation (RRI), proposed by the European Union and executed by the Engage Project, in a large university in Curitiba. It should be noted that Decree 5626/2005 determines the teaching of Libras in Higher Education, as a compulsory subject in undergraduate and elective courses in other undergraduate courses. This unprecedented reality faces the shortage of didactic material in Libras. The purpose of this qualitative-quantitative research was to analyze the contributions of OER to the learning of Libras as a second language for undergraduate students, in view of the school inclusion of the deaf. Three hundred and fifty students integrated this participative research, of thirteen undergraduate courses, that produced a video in Libras on Agrobiodiversity and transgenic foods, formatting the collaborative learning. The following guiding question is asked: What are the contributions of OER to the learning of Libras as a second language for undergraduate students, in view of the school inclusion of the deaf? It is worth mentioning that the students created the sign in Libras of transgenics approved by the deaf community, which was formulated in situations of communicative interactions. Thus, the participants appropriated the concept of continuous and diversified education, in the task of disseminating Libras in the OER format, with conscience and criticism regarding the linguistic right of deaf people.
