Tecnologias para o ensino da Língua Brasileira de Sinais (LIBRAS): Uma revisão sistemática da literatura

Abstract

In Brazil, more than nine million people have some level of deafness. These people interact with the world through the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS). Oral communication has long been one of the main ways of exchanging messages and transmitting knowledge among people. However, in many environments, deaf people are ignored because they can not establish communication channels with others and do not have ways to facilitate communication. In this sense, several technological tools were proposed with different approaches, with the purpose of promoting the teaching of LIBRAS and facilitating the communication between deaf and hearing. This paper presents a Systematic Review of Literature carried out in fifteen (15) national and international research sources, whose objective is to identify and analyze the computational tools and the methodological approaches on which they are based, to improve teaching and communication of LIBRAS. As a result of the Systematic Review presented in this article, 342 (three hundred and forty-two) works were analyzed, and of this total, 26 (twenty six) were selected for data extraction, among which it was possible to list several technological tools used for the Teaching of LIBRAS; pedagogical aspects used during the construction of these tools; validation methodologies and a series of characteristics that must be considered in the elaboration of a tool for teaching LIBRAS.

A Systematic Mapping of Translation-Enabling Technologies for Sign Languages

“…The search strings were demanding, in the sense that titles were meant to contain the keywords contain the keywords "systematic [mapping/review]" and "sign language", hence excluding beforehand those titles that were only vaguely related to the object of study. In fact, for systematic mappings we obtained no results, while systematic reviews returned four results, three of them dealing with health sciences topics (with no computational focus) and one of them just recently published [1] that has to do with specifics of teaching LIBRAS (Brazilian Portuguese Sign Language). The results of this study show that the pedagogical approaches and theories used in the planning and construction of tools for LIBRAS are perfunctory.…”

Um Mapeamento Sistemático sobre Recursos Educacionais Digitais na Educação Básica

“…Veículos científicos selecionados. Os veículos científicos considerados foram definidos com base nas recomendac ¸ões de [Cabrejos et al 2018], bem como na metodologia aplicada por [Rocha et al 2018]. O Quadro 1 apresenta os veículos científicos selecionados como fontes de pesquisa por estudos primários no contexto do mapeamento sistemático realizado.…”

SignWeaver: Plataforma Digital de Apoio à Disseminação de Glossários Bilíngues Libras-Português

“…Professores e gestores ainda não estão preparados para lidar com essa forma de comunicação, o que dificulta o aprendizado de conteúdos importantes por alunos surdos, inclusive a própria língua. Para solucionar este problema, alguns trabalhos propuseram o desenvolvimento de ferramentas tecnológicas para facilitar a comunicação entre pessoas com diferentes tipos de deficiência, inclusive os surdos (P. S. R. Rocha, Lima, e Queiroz, 2018).…”
