O que os surdos contam sobre a matemática nas suas trajetórias escolares: a produção de fontes orais em Libras a partir da História Oral

Abstract

This research aimed to produce oral sources, from interviews with three deaf, former school students, about their experiences in the mathematics lessons. The production of the sources occurred based on the theoretical-methodological aspects of Oral History and took as a starting point to search for studies based on this theoretical and methodological proposal. In addition, prior to conducting the interviews, properly so called, a pilot project was developed to experience the complexity of carrying out a practice of Oral History with deaf, aiming to point out a considerable number of technical and ethical care for the development of these productions in Brazilian Sign Language. The technical and ethical care are not restricted to the time of the interviews, but also previous and later steps as, for example: the choice of the interviewees, the production of materials to be sent to the deaf (the invitation and the Free and Informed Consent Form), the cameras organization for the interview moment, the translation-transcription of the signs made in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) to Portuguese Language and the return of the texts so that the interviewees could access their lines translated to the Portuguese Language, in the written form. In addition to the aspects connected with the production of oral sources in Libras in this paper there is a brief presentation of the deaf interviewees, elaborated from the situation as told by them, during their interviews, in order to highlight the potential of the oral sources for the interested in reflections about the Mathematics Education for the deaf.
