Education of Deaf Children in the Early Years of Elementary School in a Bilingual Context and in School Inclusion: a Bibliographic and Documentary Review
Bilingualism. Deaf Education. Inclusion. Early Years.
The ongoing research entitled Education of Deaf Children in the Early Years of Elementary School in a Bilingual Context and in School Inclusion aims to investigate the education of deaf children in the early years of elementary school in a bilingual context and in school inclusion in the state of Santa Catarina . The methodological path of this research will be descriptive (GIL, 2002; GIL, 2008), bibliographical and documentary (MARCONI; LAKATOS, 2003; SEVERINO, 2007; GIL, 2008) with a qualitative approach (SEVERINO, 2007; GIL, 2008; SILVEIRA; CÓRDOVA , 2009). In the teaching philosophy of Oralism, the literature points to a real failure in the school trajectory and an abyss in the history of deaf education during this period. From Oralism to Total Communication/Bimodalism we do not perceive significant changes (CICCONE, 1990; GOLDFELD, 1997; SOARES, 2005; STROBEL, 2009; PIETZAK; 2017). Bilingualism, however, advances significantly, as it is from it that Sign Language is accepted as the mother tongue, First Language (L1), and therefore it is understood that this should be the language of instruction in deaf education. (LACERDA, 2009; QUADROS 1997, 2005, 2006, 2008; SOARES, 2005; QUADROS E STUMPF, 2009; QUADROS E PERLIN, 2007; FERNANDES, 2005, 2015). However, despite Bilingualism showing itself to be the best proposal in deaf education, the impasse is then in the way it presents itself in the contexts discussed. The State of the Art demonstrated that discussions on this theme lack the scientific and methodological rigor of research in the context of postgraduate research.
