Cartography in Studying the Environment: Bilingual Practice Aiming at the Inclusion of Deaf Pupils

Abstract

When it comes to Special Education, there are countless proposals, debates and disagreements. In Brazil, the fact is that special schools have been extinguished by yielding more place to heterogeneous schools that are full of diversity. Regarding deaf pupils, they must highlight their own language and culture; therefore, they are ultimately required to study and foremost to develop “a desire to integrate”. This research was mainly aimed to identify possible methodologies and activities targeted to the deaf pupils entered into the regular Education. Because it is a qualitative research on a school located in the outskirts of a city in Brazil, the topic of urban environmental problems was chosen to develop the activities of the pupils Assuming that to intervene in the problems of the environment, at first, we must realize the place where we live in, Cartography is an important instrument used in the activities proposed by this project.
