Ensino de ciências para estudantes surdos: uma experiência com modelos moleculares e iônico

Abstract

Exploring the visual character of models made with recycled materials can help to overcome the barriers of communication difficulties between teachers and deaf students in science teaching. In this sense, the objective of this work is to reflect on the contribution of molecular and ionic models to the teaching of Chemistry with deaf students. For that, the classes were given by the teacher using the models made with rollon balls. Participant observation and questionnaire with closed and open questions were used in data collection. The results showed that the visual and manipulative character of the models used as didactic resources, overcome the difficulties of communication with a deaf student and helped positively in the teaching-learning process of the content of chemical bonds.
