FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES PARA SURDOS NO CONTEXTO SOCIOPOLÍTICO ATUAL: UM ESTUDO DE CASO EM GOIÁS

Abstract

This dissertation is associated with the research line "State, Educational Policies and Institutions", from the Post-Graduation Program in Education of the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás, and with the Research Group "Educational Policies and School Management". The research problem was the training of teachers for the deaf in an educational institution with the state of Goiás. The research aims, mainly, at investigating the dichotomy established between the Country and the state of Goiás public policies and at analyzing teacher training in the institutional context of a special school in this same federative unit. The specific objectives are the evaluation of the institution documents, the analysis of teachers’ educational profile, the investigation of these teachers’ mechanisms of inclusion in the education of the deaf, the work environment and these teachers’ level of satisfaction with the education of the deaf individuals. The investigative construction was based on a bibliographical study, having Borges (2013), Brzezinski (1987), and Mazzotta (2011) as reference among others of equal relevance. The research consisted of a qualitative case study which made use of instruments such as semi-structured interviews and questionnaires addressed to the teachers of the researched educational institution. The methodological course was supported by several authors who approach the theme, such as André (2013), Chizzotti (2014), and Galvão (2010). Data subsequent analysis indicated that, although considerable changes have occurred in the last decades, mainly after Law No. 10,436, of April 24, 2002, and Decree No. 5,626, dated December 22, 2005, there is still much to be done so that teacher training truly follows the established legal precepts. In the final considerations, we discuss the need to align teacher training for the deaf with current legislation so that the state of Goiás can provide "equality of access and permanence in the school" for all (BRAZIL, 1988).
