EU, NÓS, ELES: a formação profissional de um estudante surdo

Abstract

In this study with a qualitative approach, an investigation of a case study is carried out involving a deaf student enrolled in the Technical Course in Agriculture Integrated to High School at the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo, specifically at the Centro-Serrano campus - IFES-CS, located in the region of Santa Maria from Jetiba. The central focus recalls the particularities of this student's linguistic characteristics, which were triggered within the scope of the intra-institutional educational process. Through the adoption of an external sociological perspective for social interactions, the underlying purpose of this study resides in the analysis of the process of educational inclusion of a deaf student in the context of professional training provided by the Ifes-CS. This analysis is based on the conceptual framework of webs of interdependence developed by Norbert Elias (1994). The proposed theoretical approach proposed an analytical framework to investigate the various factors that shaped the educational trajectory of this deaf student in the context of professional education. To support the analysis in question, three figurational categories that emerged during the course of the research were discerned. First, the category "I figuration" explores the internal perspective of the deaf student, allowing an intrinsic understanding of his experience. Secondly, the category "figuration of US" encompasses the implications and challenges that arose as a result of the integration of deaf students in the context of professional education. Finally, the category "figuration with THEM" outlines the initiatives undertaken by the Ifes-CS, notably through the Center for Assistance to People with Specific Needs (Napne), overcoming the educational demands of this deaf student and examining how this influenced his educational trajectory. As a final result of this study, the aim is to obtain insights not only on issues related to deafness, but also on the metamorphoses triggered by the social dynamics that involve the interaction between the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo and the deaf student. Additionally, we seek to explore the ramifications arising from this network of interdependence for all the actors involved, with emphasis on the effects and changes that manifested themselves throughout this process.
