A utilização do aplicativo Hand Talk para alunos surdos como ferramenta para o Ensino de Matemática

Abstract

This work presents as a theme the use of the Hand Talk application for deaf students as a tool for teaching mathematics. The objective is to enable the inclusion of deaf students, using this assistive technology tool to improve communication in mathematics classes between deaf and hearing students, as well as with the teacher, thus seeking to achieve the objectives of this work, which is to investigate potentialities regarding the inclusion of deaf and hearing students through the use of the Hand Talk application in Mathematics classes. It is important to highlight the availability of assistive technologies, which contribute to the independence and autonomy of the subjects. Having said that, deaf students will be able to use the Hand Talk application in math classes as an aid for teaching and learning. The results of this work indicate that the use of the Hand Talk application enhanced communication between deaf people and hearing persons, and in learning mathematics with students from the 7th grade of Elementary School.
