Abstract

BORGES, Fábio Alexandre  and  COSTA, Luciano Gonsalves. Um estudo de possíveis correlações entre representações docentes e o ensino de ciências e matemática para surdos. Ciência educ. [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.03, pp.567-583. ISSN 1516-7313.

Throughout this paper, we have investigated some teachers’ representations about issues related to the teaching of the deaf. Teachers who have worked in such educational contexts in the cities of Maringa and Londrina were recorded while different topics were addressed such as: pre-service teaching education, training, Sign Language, interpreters, infrastructure, prejudice, Science teaching, learning assessment, and others. For data analysis, we have used Qualitative Textual Analysis. The expectation is that, through the teachers' representations, we can raise the discussion about this phenomenon: the teaching of mathematics and science to deaf students. Five out ten teachers were categorized for the purposes of this paper. Several issues were raised and all were worthy to be discussed in trying to find a way for a better education in Science and Mathematics for the deaf.

Keywords : Deafness; Science and Mathematics Teaching; Teachers’ Representations.
