PIECZKOWSKI, Tania Mara Zancanaro. Deaf college students: Discourse and teaching practices. Educ. Puc. [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.3, pp.251-263. ISSN 1519-3993.  https://doi.org/10.0000/edpuc.2015.203.251.

This article addresses the pedagogical practices involving deaf college students. The article was inspired by an excerpt from the author's doctoral thesis that conceptualized the inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education and its effects on university teaching. The empirical data, collected by narrative interviews with professors of students with disabilities enrolled in different undergraduate courses, were examined from the perspective of discourse analysis, based on Foucault's work. The encounter with the students with disabilities allows the professor to reflect on discourses often reproduced mechanically as if they were natural, inevitable and necessary. Teaching "different" students enables the professional in higher education from different areas of knowledge to realize that teaching is a different profession; it is the encounter with new and unpredictable experiences and knowledge of higher education concepts is imperative for inclusion.

Keywords : University Teaching; Deaf Students; Inclusion in Higher Education; Pedagogical Practices.
