METAVISUALIZATION IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE WITH DEAF STUDENTS FROM INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES
Scientific knowledge contributes to the understanding of Science, as well as the transformations that occur in nature, promoting the formation of critical and participatory citizens through socio-scientific challenges. In the case of deaf students, it is essential to consider their linguistic specificity, Libras, as the first language in the educational process. In this sense, the objective of this work is to analyze the construction of scientific knowledge based on an investigative activity, using a metavisual strategy with a group of deaf students in the 7th year of Elementary School. This is a qualitative approach, with an activity carried out in three stages: i) prior survey of students, problematization and raising hypotheses; ii) metavisual activity and elaboration of explanatory models; iii) systematization and discussion. For data collection, drawings created by students, speeches in Libras, recording of the activity, interviews and logbooks will be considered. It is expected to understand the contributions of metavisualization in the construction of scientific knowledge based on an investigative activity with deaf students from a bilingual perspective, considering Libras as the first language.
