Estudantes surdos no ensino superior: reflexões sobre a inclusão

O objetivo deste estudo e compreender a vivencia universitaria de estudantes surdos que frequentaram escolas bilingues e se identificam com a cultura surda. O ponto de partida foi uma pesquisa de campo com cinco jovens - tres mocas e dois rapazes, com idades entre 21 e 27 anos - matriculados em cursos de graduacao por no minimo tres semestres. O trabalho consistiu em entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas, aplicadas por uma bolsista surda e gravadas em video e, depois, traduzidas para a lingua portuguesa e submetidas a analise de conteudo. Os resultados descrevem o desafio da adaptacao dos sujeitos surdos a um universo majoritariamente ouvinte, as dificuldades de transitar entre a lingua de sinais e a lingua portuguesa, a necessidade de manter referenciais identitarios valorizados aos olhos dos ouvintes, alem da importância de reorganizar as estrategias de ensino e de avaliar a participacao do interprete de lingua de sinais.

Sinalizando a adolescência: narrativas de adolescentes surdos

This study aims at understanding the meanings attributed to adolescence and to life experiences in the context of deafness, analyzing deaf adolescents’ narratives. Narrative interviews were made with three deaf adolescents whose parents are hearing, fluent users of Brazilian Sign Language, who have attended an elementary special school for the deaf. The interviews were made in sign language by a deaf mediator in a room with a one-way mirror, with simultaneous translation made by an interpreter. Data were analyzed using Ricoeur’s hermeneutics and discussed with contributions from psychology and psychoanalysis. Results indicate that many conflicts experienced by the deaf adolescents are similar to those experienced by the hearing adolescents. Specificities regarding deafness refer to reevaluations of the decisions made by their parents and to levels of dependence from hearing people. Differences among teenagers and their family contexts could also be noticed regarding communication, emotional development and participation in the deaf community.

Estratégias de pesquisa em contextos de diversidade cultural: entrevistas de listagem livre, entrevistas com informantes-chave e grupos focais

The objective of this article is to present and discuss three research strategies which, when used separately or combined in qualitative or quantiqualitative studies, may facilitate the researchers understanding of the cultural universe of study participants, especially in contexts of cultural diversity. One understands that there is cultural diversity when the life experience, concepts, values and theoretical presuppositions of the researcher are not the same as those of the participants of a study. The three methods that are presented, as well as their possible combinations, are: free-listing interviews, key-informant and focus group interviews. Examples of empirical research in the field of public health and psychology are also presented to demonstrate the applicability of these research strategies.

Blogs de adolescentes surdos: escrita e construção de sentido

The learning and the meaningful appropriation of the written language by the deaf can be promoted by means of the use of widely spread and available communication technologies. This work presents the analysis of the narrative resources used by three deaf adolescents fluent in Libras to organize their lived experience through written productions in weblogs (using the Portuguese language, their second language). It is a qualitative exploratory study. A hermeneutic analysis of the narratives based on Paul Ricoeur was proposed. Although there were mistakes in the written language, the productions could be considered narratives because they express attempts to weave stories. However, the transmission of meaning was not always successful, indicating difficulties in the learning of the written language and in the understanding that it can be a means of communicating with the other. The need of creating strategies that strengthen the notion of the written language as a means of production of meaning is emphasized.

Análise dos processos cognitivos e autopoiéticos em um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem

O suporte multimidia em ambientes de aprendizagem pode ser um elemento facilitador para mudancas de concepcoes epistemologicas por parte de educadores e aprendizes. Este artigo constitui-se em um estudo de caso. O corpus de analise e composto pelos enunciados de um aprendiz que interagiu no ambiente virtual de aprendizagem de uma disciplina obrigatoria de um curso de graduacao em Psicologia. A teoria da Equilibracao de Piaget e a Biologia do Conhecimento de Maturana sao as teorias que sustentam a analise e que dao suporte a construcao dos indicadores cognitivos e autopoieticos. A analise evidencia como o sujeito interage diante de trocas realizadas nos diferentes cenarios do ambiente virtual. Os indicadores autopoieticos e cognitivos evidenciam um processo de aprendizagem sustentado pela interacao com o outro e pela interacao com o proprio objeto de conhecimento. As contribuicoes do sujeito indicam um movimento de autoria e de construcao de conhecimento, assumindo um papel participativo e responsavel nas trocas efetuadas com os demais aprendizes.

A escuta clínica psicanalítica em uma instituição pública: construindo espaços

En los ultimos anos, ha habido una creciente discusion sobre la presencia del psicoanalisis en lugares diferentes (tales como el servicio publico y las instituciones) a los que tradicionalmente se encontraba. Con el objetivo de tejer algunas consideraciones sobre el trabajo en una institucion publica que atiende ninos y adolescentes en contra turno escolar, este articulo trae algunos recortes que presentan posibilidades de intervencion, a partir de la escucha clinico psicoanalitica, en un dialogo entre la teoria y el contexto institucional. A partir de las observaciones y de los trabajos realizados, se cree posible que una institucion, en la actualidad, sea un espacio que permita a los que de ella hacen parte ser reconocidos de diferentes formas sociales y llegar a actuar en cuanto sujetos/ciudadanos. Este analisis espero contribuir a que ninos y adolescentes que traen en su cuerpo y en su psiquis las marcas de la exclusion y de la violencia, al convivir en una institucion, pudieran inscribir otras marcas y reconocerse en cuanto sujetos, a partir de otros significados.

Software Junctus: Joining Sign Language and Alphabetical Writing

The authors’ aim is to describe the workshops developed to test the use of an authorship program that allows the simultaneous use of sign language and alphabetical writing. The workshops were prepared and conducted by a Computer Science undergraduate, with the support of the Program of Students’ Integration and Mediation (Programa de Integracao e Mediacao do Academico – PIMA) at the University of Caxias do Sul. Two sign language interpreters, two deaf students and one hearing student, who also teach at a special school for the deaf, participated in the workshops. The main characteristics of the software and the development of the workshops are presented with examples of educational projects created during their development. Possible improvements are also outlined.
