Abstract

The present work, registered in the research line "Education, Society and Culture", of the Postgraduate Program in Education at PUC Goiás, is the result of the discussions of the research group "Youth and Education" and the research project called "Diversity" Cultural in Educational, National and International Policies and Guidelines ", which enabled us to think about the social issues that involve excluded minorities, of which the deaf belong. For this reason, the subjects of this research are the graduates of the Letras / Libras course at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), considered in order to answer the following guiding question: To what extent did the Letras / Libras course at UFG expand the possibilities of insertion development of deaf graduates in different spheres of society and what are the limits and possibilities of training taking into account the objective reality to which they are inserted? Questioning that is justified considering that the Pedagogical Project of the Letras / Libras Course of the Federal University of Goiás defines the proposal the course for the training of Libras teachers to work in elementary or high school; a training that will be based on a formative conception of the student, in order to enable ¿interaction between deaf and listeners in various social spheres¿ (PPC / LETRAS / LIBRAS, 2008, p. 11). The general objective of the study is to investigate the academic formation and social insertion of the deaf graduate of the undergraduate course of Letters

/ Libras at UFG in the light of the objectives expressed in the PPC of the Course. Pierre Bourdieu's Praxiological Knowledge and Reflective Sociology are taken as a reference, in which social phenomena are treated in the dialectical relationship between the objective and the subjective world. As a methodology, documentary analyzes were carried out of the selection notices and resolutions of the Letras / Libras course at UFG. In addition, for data collection, a sociocultural questionnaire was applied using the statistical package SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) version 26 for data analysis, along with fourteen graduates of the Letras / Libras course, of which seven participated in an interview. in-depth. Bourdieu's contributions (1983, 1989, 2012, 2012a, 2015, 2015a) were considered as guiding references of the research; Cavalcante (2010; 2014); Feres Júnior and Campos (2013); Klein (2001); Moehlecke (2004); Nogueira, Catani (2015); Quadros (2005); Skliar (2012); Strobel (2008, 2009), and others. The results, from the analysis of the data, show that the deaf graduate of Letras / Libras is part of a minority that gained access to higher education, largely due to the quota system. And that, during graduation, through teaching strategies, he managed to integrate into the course, in order to expand the vocabulary and develop reading and writing skills in the Portuguese language. With graduation, most achieved the goal of being a teacher of pounds. However, despite this, we also contact that communication is still the barrier that hinders the inclusion of the deaf. Thus, it is necessary to think of inclusive bilingual schools, of a curriculum aimed at the deaf, with visual pedagogies, which, in fact, contemplate deaf culture
