DÉPLOIEMENTS DE LA POLITIQUE DE L’ENSEIGNEMENT SUPÉRIEUR POUR LA FORMATION DES ENSEIGNANTS DE LANGUE DES SIGNES

EVOLUCIÓN DE LA POLÍTICA DE EDUCACIÓN SUPERIOR PARA LA FORMACIÓN DEL DOCENTE DE LIBRAS

Abstract

The aim of this article is to identify and analyze the deployment of the higher education policies directed at the training of Brazilian Sign Language teachers in the upcoming decade, under decree 5.626 from 2005. Documentary research, based on content analysis, allowed the outlining of a panorama of the courses offered at federal higher education institutions in Bilingual Pedagogy and a Degree in Libras, from 2006 to 2015. The results revealed that the distance learning modality was the main one linked to the expansion of the number of vacancies. However, in a general estimate, there is still a small number of vacancies and higher education courses for these professionals, especially in the segment that includes early childhood education and the first years of elementary school. This shows the lack of graduates from these courses, in the national scenario.
