A gestão pedagógica de escolas de surdos e possibilidades de relações entre família e escola

Abstract

The general objective of this study was to understand how the pedagogical management of schools for the deaf in Rio Grande do Sul articulate their educational purposes with the students' families. As specific objectives, we sought to recognize how much respect for the cultural diversity of students and their families has been fundamental for the access and permanence in the schoolfor the deaf; to investigate and understand the concepts of management on the learning of Libras by the family of deaf students as well as to investigate the purposes of the actions that the management proposes to guarantee the participation of families in the school. In view of the current pandemic scenario, the research was made through digital tools. An online questionnaire was prepared, which was sent to managers of ten specific schools for the deaf in RS.As a methodology for analyzing these data, we propose the use of Bardin's Content Analysis (2011). The understandings brought by the managers in their answers affirm the importance of the family and the learning of Libras and that, in this way, make them worry and have initiatives that aim to help the learning and inclusion of this student. We also observed that the management of schools offers and is concerned with the acquisition of Libras by families as well as the family-school relationship as a whole, these factors being important and a form of struggle, respect and resistance of their language and culture. At the end of this study, we see that it is essential to have a management that understands theimportance of language acquisition by families and children, and that when developing actions for this, they ensure good communication and relationship between them.
