Pareceres descritivos de alunos surdos: revelações sobre seu desempenho em língua portuguesa no ensino fundamental

Abstract

This dissertation aims to reflect on how it is constituted the descriptive feedback of Portuguese Language classes regarding the performance of deaf students of a municipal elementary school from the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre and, from that, to verify the conceptions of learning the written Portuguese Language indicated by voices that permeate this document. To do so, besides contacting the student's teachers, observing classes, with the support of the directive staff, descriptive feedbacks of 15 deaf students from the cycles I, II and III, elaborated semiannually in the year 2010 were taken to be analyzed. The reflection on such data is based on studies that are turned to the journey of the education of the deaf and to the education and to the learning of languages, more specifically Portuguese Language and Libras (Brazilian Sign Language), bringing assumptions of Vygotsky as regards the intellectual development and learning, bakhtinian conceptions about language, complemented by inquiries about the descriptive feedback genre. Between the verifications of this work, it is highlighted that the descriptive feedback constitutes itself as precept about the deaf subject, whom has his record centered in the search by the adaptation, normalization of that subject from knowledges already built. These documents, therefore do not register the level of linguistic knowledge of the students, prioritizing behavioral aspects. In the dialog enabled by the data that were being generated all along the study with the researches that consolidated the arguments, it is reinforced the need of more reflections on the evaluation of the deaf students and about all the setting of the education and of learning process in which the education of the deaf is configured and, in that case, the access to their language and to the language of the listening community.
