Aplicativo educacional para auxiliar a alfabetização da língua brasileira de sinais

Abstract

The education of deaf people has always been a challenge for everyone involved. In order for this challenge to be overcome, much effort and dedication from family members, teachers and the deaf himself is necessary. The use of technologies, as well as educational resources, aimed at students with deafness, can minimize the difficulties and consequently improve the teaching-learning of the deaf. In this way, the present work intends to present an educational application, developed in Scratch that helps in the literacy of the deaf student and even listeners who want or need to learn the Brazilian Language of Signs - Pounds. The Scratch environment is a tool that allows the creation of the educational application, providing an interactive layout and very simple to use, as it can be executed online, on any computer or device that is connected to the internet. The application is aimed at learning signals, specifically the vowels A, E, I, O, U. It provides the user with a study and then a learning test. Although the Scratch environment has restrictions, it can be noted that it is possible to create several applications aimed at the education of deaf students, not only in literacy, but also in the literacy and learning of the Portuguese language, which is its second official language.
