The focus of this paper is to propose an evaluation tool to assess the teaching-learning process of Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) to hearing students in Higher Education. The current Brazilian laws dealing with the accessibility of the deaf and the teaching of Libras will be concisely posited and argued, and after that an overview on linguistic aspects of Libras will be highlighted prior to discussing the teaching of this language as a Second Language (L2). Also, it will be discussed briefly the relevance of using strategies to Libras teaching as L2 and then the proposal to evaluate teaching and learning processes of the language at stake will be finally described. As a conclusion, developing tools as well as presenting proposals for the teaching of sign languages might be ways to highlight and discuss pedagogical issues about the teaching of the sign languages. The paper outcomes are useful for scholars and learners who are researching and implementing tools for Libras teaching as L2.

Abstract The present work analyzes the access of deaf people fluent in Brazilian Sign Language in the National High School Exam, which was created to measure the performance based on the curriculum and on the High School guidelines, which acquired the purpose of providing the access of High school seniors to higher education. The methodological theoretical approach upon which this study is based is the qualitative research of exploratory nature. The sequential mixed method was used for the collection and analysis of qualitative data and, based on these, the quantitative analysis was performed. The results show an increase in the number of deaf participants in the exams and justify the offer of bilingual exams to measure learning.

Resumo: A ampliação do acesso de estudantes surdos à Educação Superior torna necessário um aprofundamento na reflexão sobre como as práticas pedagógicas dirigidas a estes sujeitos influenciam no seu processo de permanência nesse nível de ensino. Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir acerca das estratégias de mediação pedagógica para a permanência de acadêmicos surdos no ensino superior. A partir desse objetivo o texto tece algumas abordagens filosóficas da educação de surdos e desconstruindo “velhos” paradigmas, a partir do advento da Lei da Libras como reconhecimento linguístico. Nesse contexto defende-se a compreensão do sujeito surdo como produtor de conhecimento, portanto, um sujeito social, cultural, cognoscente e político. O procedimento metodológico utilizado para discussão desta temática configurou-se em uma pesquisa bibliográfica, Revisão de Literatura Exploratória, que partiu de uma análise estrita de fontes de estudos já elaborados como livros, artigos e periódicos que tratam sobre os aspectos das estratégias pedagógicas, letramento, cultura e das interações em relação à aprendizagem. Para discussão das estratégias de medição pedagógica voltadas para a permanência de estudantes surdos na Educação Superior autores como COULON (2008); PERLIN (2002); PIMENTEL (2006, 2007, 2012); QUADROS e SCHMIEDT (2006); e VYGOTSKY (1998) dentre outros são utilizados, e apontam como resultados a consolidação de um ensaio teórico e pedagógico que permite a compreensão da temática em questão com vistas a fomentar aprendizagens significativas a fim de favorecer o processo de permanência destes sujeitos.Palavras-chave: Mediação pedagógica, permanência na Educação Superior, estudantes surdos,LibrasAbstract: The expansion of the access of deaf students to Higher Education makes it necessary to deepen the reflection on how the pedagogical practices directed to these subjects influence in their process of permanence in this level of education. This article aims to discuss pedagogical mediation strategies for deaf academics in higher education. From this objective, the text weaves some philosophical approaches to the education of the deaf and deconstructs "old" paradigms, from the advent of the Brazilian Sign Language (known as “LIBRAS”) as a linguistic recognition. In this context it is defended the understanding of the deaf subject as producer of knowledge, therefore, a social, cultural, cognoscent and political subject. The methodological procedure used to discuss this theme was set out in a bibliographic research, Review of Exploratory Literature, which started from a strict analysis of sources of studies already elaborated as books, articles and periodicals that deal with aspects of pedagogical strategies, literacy, Culture and interactions in relation to learning. For discussion of pedagogical measurement strategies aimed at the permanence of deaf students in Higher Education, authors such as COULON (2008); PERLIN (2002); PIMENTEL (2006, 2007, 2012); QUADROS and SCHMIEDT (2006); and VYGOTSKY (1998), among others are used, and point out as results the consolidation of a theoretical and pedagogical essay that allows the understanding of the subject in question with a view to fomenting significant learning in order to favor the permanence process of these subjects.Keywords: Pedagogical mediation, permanence in Higher Education, deaf students, Brazilian Sign Language ( Libras ).

Resumo: Este artigo é fruto de pesquisa em andamento no Departamento de Ensino Superior do INES (DESU-INES) oriunda da experiência de elaboração de monografias em Libras com alunos de graduação do curso de Pedagogia Bilíngue. O objetivo foi construir esquemas visuais e descritivos que mostrem as características de cenários e dos padrões de linguagens nos fenômenos de interação durante a consecução de monografias em Libras. São feitas considerações a respeito das tensões entre a Libras e a língua portuguesa no processo de construção discursiva do aluno surdo e não-surdo bilíngue, junto ao professor orientador e o tradutor-intérprete, quando esta equipe se vê na tarefa de construir argumentos científicos formais em língua de sinais com registros em vídeo. Procuramos clarear as etapas desse processo, a fim de dar suporte a futuras orientações que envolvam a produção de vídeo acadêmico em Libras. Entre elas estão: o uso de glosas e glossinais, a busca ou criação de novos sinais para conceitos acadêmicos, o trabalho de roteirização, a filmagem-rascunho, a gravação em estúdio profissional e a edição final do material. Algumas regras de produção visual são apresentadas como exemplos de particularidades encontradas pelos pesquisadores. Ao final, desdobramos comportamentos encontrados em campo que envolvem idealizações na produção de monografias em Libras, indicando questões a serem ponderadas por este conjunto de atores: alunos, professores orientadores e banca examinadora.Palavras-chave: Graduando surdo; Educação bilíngue; Língua Brasileira de Sinais; Monografia; Ensino Superior. Monographing in libras: looking for writing standards in academic video-recordsAbstract: This article is the result of ongoing research in the Department of Higher Education of INES (DESU-INES). Emerges from the experience of elaborating monographs in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) with undergraduate students of the Bilingual Pedagogy course. The objective was to construct visual and descriptive schemas that show the characteristics of scenarios and the patterns of languages in the interaction phenomena during the making of monographs in Libras. Considerations are made about the tensions between Libras and the Portuguese language in the process of discursive construction of the deaf and non-deaf bilingual student, together with the guiding teacher and the translator-interpreter, when this team finds itself in the task of constructing formal scientific arguments in sign language with video records. We seek to clarify the stages of this process in order to support future orientations that involve the production of academic video in Libras. Among them are: the use of glosses and glossinals, the search for or creation of new signs for academic concepts, the writing work, the filming, the professional studio recording and the final editing of the material. Some rules of visual production are presented as examples of particularities encountered by the researchers. In the end, we present behaviors found in the research field that involve idealizations in the production of monographs in Libras, indicating questions to be pondered by this group of actors: students, guiding teachers and teacher examiners' bank.Keywords: Deaf graduating; Bilingual education; Brazilian Sign Language; Monography; Higher education.

The use of LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language) during the classes helps in the learning of deaf students. By creating an illustrative Handbook we seek to facilitate the learning of the deaf student and advise teachers in the area of Biological Sciences. After the preparation of this material we verify how essential it is that other students have access to it, seeking to disseminate it.
