The State of Art about History Teaching in the Education of the Deaf

Abstract

Our objective in this study was to carry out bibliographic research, to map scientific productions on the subject of history teaching for deaf students. The methodology used followed the stages of the State of the Art research modality. Initially, we defined the descriptors: “teaching History”, “deaf”, “assistive technologies”, “teaching deaf”, as well as the databases: the CAPES Thesis and Dissertations Catalog, between the years 2016 to 2018 and, in the same period, the editions of the History Today Magazine and the annals of the State Meetings of ANPUH-PB, in the years 2012, 2016 and 2018. After surveying and refining the information, they revealed that the aforementioned theme is still little researched in the academic, given that we found, in the three platforms mentioned above, 16 types research, which are close to the proposed theme, and of these, only 4 relate to the teaching of history for the deaf. Our considerations indicate the urgency of researching this theme, to promote an inclusive education that guarantees to teach aimed at training in the area of History for this specific audience.
