PESSANHA, Márlon; COZENDEY, Sabrina  y  ROCHA, Diego Marceli. The sharing of meaning in physics class and the work of the interlocutor of Brazilian Sign Language. Ciência educ. [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.2, pp.435-456. ISSN 1516-7313.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320150020011.

The inclusion of students with hearing impairment and students with deafness in Brazilian schools calls for research, for example, involving linguistic diversity in bilingual educational environments. We present a study in which we seek to verify the sharing of meanings between the Portuguese Language and the Brazilian Sign Language for explanation of two fundamental concepts in physics teaching: velocity and acceleration. The explanations were presented by an interlocutor of Libras who worked in physics classes. Using some ideas of Bakhtin, we check the significance assumed by the main signs presented by the interlocutor. We verified that the signals presented by interlocutor may assume various meanings, in some cases, different from the scientific meaning. We note that the interlocutor needs to recognize the most appropriate signs, but such recognition needs a correct understanding of the content of physics, which requires joint preparation with the teacher.

Palabras clave : School inclusion; Hearing impairment; Deafness; Brazilian Sign Language; Physics education.
