O software JClic como ferramenta para aprendizagem da língua brasileira de sinais (LIBRAS)

Abstract

Law 13.146 / 15 states that all citizens should have equal rights, and ensures that students with disabilities attend regular school. This law also ensures that such adaptation is also made in relation to communication, in the case of deaf people, through the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). That said, the teacher is faced with challenges, such as teaching hearing students Libras só that they can communicate with students with hearing impairment. To help meet this challenge, the teacher can count on the help of media resources, such as the authoring software under study: Jclic. Thus, this research aimed to understand the importance of Libras as a means of communication for deaf students, to present the Jclic software as an option for teachers to assemble and develop activities aimed at teaching Libras to hearing students, as well as to propose a didactic sequence suggestion. With such a feature.To this end, a bibliographic research was made based on studies by authors on the teaching of Libras for listening students in inclusive classes. The didactic sequence was also applied to a 3rd grade class in order to prove its efficiency. Thus, the present research showed that Jclic is an efficient tool that the teacher has in hand, in order to teach various contents, such as Libras for listening students, because it allows the creation of simple and complex activities, at the discretion of the teacher.
