As percepções dos intérpretes de LIBRAS sobre a influência dos seus conceitos de física na sua prática profissional

Abstract

This work has allowed us to analyse the perceptions of the Libras interpreters about the influence of their Physics concepts in their professional activities, which was made using semi-estructured interviews. These interviews were, afterwards, transcribed and analysed according to Bardin’s content analisys. Also, we identified the knowledge of Physics concepts using questionnaire with Physics’ key concepts, in which they needed to elaborate these concepts and use them to explain some presented phenomena what allowed us to verify the existence of misconceptions in their knowledge. The four participants are Libras interpreters that work in classroom with students in schools menaged by Chapecó-SC’ GEREF. After applying the forementioned instruments, we diagnosed the existence of misconceptions in the Physics’ concepts there presented, which were not clear for them, even after many contacts with these in their professional practice. About the content analysis of the transcribed interviews, the categories that emerged from the participants’ narratives could be organized in: influences to deaf inclusion according to current legislation, aspects that influence your professional practice and the relationship between interpreter and Physics teacher. These categories allowed us to comprehend the subjects view of the educational process in a general way, from the deaf student attitude as a subject of his education, to the employment bond of the interpreter with the schools and GERED’s influence, as well as the attutude of the interpreter with respect to the teacher and vice-versa and the need of preparation before the interpretation.
