Uso da Tecnologia da Informação na sala de aula: percepções de alunos surdos sobre os contributos às aprendizagens

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the results of a case study type quantitative and qualitative research carried out with deaf students from a state school in the city of Maceió, with the general objective of discussing how information and communication technologies used in the classroom by the teacher can contribute to the learning of these students. The subjects of the investigation are students who are in high school and have some degree of hearing impairment. The investigation was based on the theoretical contributions of authors such as Kenski (2007), Moran (2013), Carneiro (2007), Sá (2002) and Skliar (2016). The results show that the use of Information and Communication Technology makes the learning of students with deafness more dynamic, considering that they are much more visual when it comes to assimilation of content in the classroom. The investigation reaffirms the need for teacher training more focused on the use of technologies in the classroom as well as more specific methodologies for school inclusion of students with special educational needs.
