Construção de jogos educacionais para o ensino de Libras

Abstract

In the application of a Libras workshop for children of the Service of Coexistence and Strengthening of Bonds in the city of Lidianópolis-PR, the situation was challenging for the instructor. The group was extremely diverse in terms of age, ranging from six-year-olds to fifteen-year-olds. This age disparity has proven to be a considerable obstacle in the process of teaching Libras, requiring different approaches to engage and instruct each age group effectively. The difficulty in teaching Libras was intrinsically linked to the heterogeneity of the ages present in the class. The lack of interest of some students, possibly associated with the immaturity of certain participants for some activities, contributed to the challenge. Dealing with this age range required a flexible and adaptable pedagogical approach, as standardized methods could alienate some while leaving others bored or unable to keep up. The persistence of these difficulties could result in significant impacts on the learning of Libras for students. Lack of engagement and understanding could lead to a low rate of content utilization, difficulties in applying this knowledge in real situations, and more. This could hinder students' ability to utilize sign language effectively, limiting their ability to interact and communicate in inclusive contexts.
