Full-Text Paper (PDF): LIBRAS: Uma Abordagem Pedagógica para a Comunidade Ouvinte. (LIBRAS: A Pedagogical Approach for the Hearing Community.)
This PDF presentation is for teacher use as a lesson plan for higher education students or special schools for the deaf. The author sought to gather contents aimed at the understanding of the needs of the deaf communities in Brazil by the hearing community. It is recommended to use the material associated with the reader's own knowledge, since many of the topics covered were not explained literally in the slides, but are orally reproduced for the students to which this presentation was intended. Knowledge should always have been free and widely accessible to all. The main purpose in making knowledge as a public object and free access is the promotion of human life. It is understood that knowledge exists to make social and productive life more solidary and permeated by the culture of peace. The current model of using knowledge for reproduction and profit is a model that can not be sustained in times of crisis of humanity. Thus, the main goal in making this material public as an Open Presentation Courseware is to disseminate knowledge in a broad, free, and unrestricted way. It is understood that knowledge sharing so that other professionals can improve performance is a path that humanity strongly needs, when one thinks of how knowledge can solve small and large problems in the daily routine of many Brazilians and promote the improvement of society as a whole. Free access to professional enhancement through self-taught practices is, according to the Open Education Consortium and MIT Open Learning, a worldwide trend to be adopted so that inequalities and individual freedom of human life can reach their maximum degree of completeness. This Open Presentation Courseware is a biannual lesson plan that addresses traditional themes of the Brazilian Sign Language as required by the Brazilian Ministry of Education. However, other approaches on deaf / deaf subjects are explored and taught to undergraduates and other baccalaureate students who have a low frequency of inclusion of the LIBRAS discipline in their curriculum (such as administration, engineering, medicine, etc.). ). It is suggested that this presentation be used as a source of resources for new and experienced teachers, either in higher education or other modalities in which the deaf person is inserted.
