O desafio do ensino remoto para alunos surdos durante a pandemia do Covid-19 no Centro de Estudos Superiores de Parintins UEA

Abstract

People with Special Educational Needs (SEN), such as the deaf, are supported for teaching, by public policies such as Decree nº 5.626, of December 22, 2005. However, the deaf student still faces communication barriers, in several teaching levels. In higher education, it is no different, making it a great challenge to stay on to complete the course. The Covid-19 pandemic has accentuated many differences, including these students. This work aims to understand what were the biggest challenges that deaf students had in learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic at the Centro de Estudos Superiores de Parintins - CESP/UEA, focusing on classes taught remotely. To carry out this work, five deaf students enrolled in higher education courses at CESP participated in this research, answering a questionnaire involving the research theme. The results obtained showed that several difficulties that deaf students faced during the pandemic, such as the lack of interpreters, little communication with teachers and the difficulties of family support, due to the lack of understanding of the Brazilian sign language, in addition to the lack of communication between the teacher and the deaf student.
