The purpose of this text is to discuss how childhood, children, deafness and visual experience have been configured as research themes in Education, focusing on an analysis of the gaze of deaf children and how their visual experience produces and is produced by the gaze. A bibliographic review was carried out in the Theses and Dissertations Database of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and in the approved papers for the national meetings of the National Association of Research and Graduate Studies on Education (ANPEd) –Special Education Work Group), having as a decisive vector research that had childhood and/or deaf child as central themes. In the analysis of the 23 studies founded, three recurrences were verified: deaf child or childhood as general concepts, not assumed in their singularities; the visual experience of the deaf child assumed to be secondary to the acquisition, whether of other languages (such as writing), or the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS), therefore, as a supplementary experience; the concept of learning for the deaf child linked to image as a didactic resource. Based on that, research and work that break with these recurrences have been investigated and thus indicate ways for the construction of a research agenda on children and deaf childhood.

Keywords : Deaf childhood; Deaf child; Visual experience; Deafness.
