Reflexões sobre a permanência de estudante surdo na educação superior

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze, according to the perception of deaf students, the teaching strategies for permanence in Higher Education. The methodological choice, of a qualitative nature, defined the path of the case study with the use of semi-structured interviews as a research instrument, as it allows capturing the perceptions of deaf students about the efficiency of pedagogical strategies for their process of permanence in the academic environment. The basis that supported the analysis of the data collected was based on Brazilian legal and institutional regulations of UFRB, and on authors such as: Quadros (2004), Ribeiro (2017), Lima (2023), Cenatti (2012), Matos (2015), Marins (2019), among others. The results indicated that UFRB has developed actions to guarantee the permanence of these students, with monitoring by NUPI guiding teachers, monitoring by interpreters in training activities, assistance from student supporters, and technological and financial resources. Most teachers demonstrated concern in providing more inclusive classes using visual resources in classes, activities and adapted assessments.
