CAMINHOS DE ACESSIBILIDADE PARA UM ESTUDANTE SURDOCEGO NO CURSO DE PEDAGOGIA

Abstract

The access to quality Education in Brazil, both in Basic and Higher Education, has been a constant challenge in recent years. This reality is no different with the People with Disabilities. It´s also happen with Deafblind people, someone that is still little visible in the elementary levels of education and especially at higher levels of studying. At this way, this search try to show the path of a deafblind student in the Pedagogy course of an institution specialized in the deaf people education based in the perspective of the institution's Course Coordination. For this, we used the methodological tool of case study through interviews with semi-structured questions, which allow flexibility in the script and the possibility of new questions throughout the process. Accordingly Gil (2002) as an assumption, which emphasizes that such methodological characteristics configure an exploratory research of a qualitative nature that most often involves a bibliographical survey, interviews and analysis that foster a better understanding of the studied object. We also started with data from Higher Education Censuses made available by qualified institutions, as well as surveys that addressed discussions around Higher Education and the access and permanence of People with Disabilities in these training spaces. The results revealed that even an institution experienced in assisting deaf people mishaps and difficulties were perceived in the training process of the student in question. They also point to the need for a specific pedagogical practice, a careful and technical look, as well as sensitivity to understand the limitations and needs of the student.
