GOLIBRAS: uma ferramenta para divulgação dos sinais da UFPA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-08) LIBONATI, Ana Carolina Delgado Quaresma; SEIXAS, Netília Silva dos Anjos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2301685130625189; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9879-9193
This work is about the development of the Online Glossary of Brazilian Sign Language (GOLIBRAS), a glossary of Libras aimed at the deaf community of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), covering, in its prototypical phase, 29 signs referring to places of the university. We sought to answer the following question: how to provide greater access to Libras signs created within the context of UFPA? The product development was based on an applied research, with a qualitative approach, divided into two phases: one focused on theoretical research, with a bibliographic review; the other one focused on the development of the product and it was divided into three subphases: cataloging of signs, elaboration of the website (its characteristics and functionalities) and evaluation. The bibliographic research was initially focused on linguistic studies of Libras and its speakers, highlighting the notion of deaf community, the signal language parameters (the phonetic aspect of these languages), the classifiers and the SignWriting model. After that, accessibility and its importance were investigated, as well as the accessibility initiatives within the scope of UFPA, highlighting the role of the Accessibility Coordination (CoAcess), responsible for the creation and validation of the signals included in the initial version of GOLIBRAS. In the second part of the research, the development of the product, a cataloging sheet was first developed for the cataloging of signs of UFPA’s places and facilitating their insertion into the product. After that, it was possible to develop the site itself, including all the mentioned signs, besides its definition, example of use and information regarding the parameters used in its execution and its writing in SignWriting. Finally, the product was validated by six individuals, all members of the deaf communities of UFPA and the Federal Rural University of Amazonia (UFRA). The product was considered validated, given the positive reception by the evaluators, but it was clear that some modifications would be necessary. Thus, it was concluded that GOLIBRAS has the capacity to achieve the proposed objective and is a tool that has the potential to assist both in the issue of accessibility in UFPA and in the teaching and learning processes that includes deaf students, deaf and listeners professors and sign language intepreters.

Iniciativas inovadoras que promovem acessibilidade
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-05-28) VIEIRA, Mayara de Oliveira; VAZ, Cristina Lúcia Dias; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5829728118120411
This work is the result of an investigation into "Innovative initiatives that promote accessibility" and started from the following question: which innovative processes and/or products promote accessibility for people with disabilities within higher education? It has, as its methodological field, the method of cartography from the perspective of an intervention research in order to make visible subjective processes and monitor both objective and subjective processes. The study sought to investigate processes and/or products with the potential to promote communicational, architectural or instrumental and attitudinal accessibility, either by solving a problem or by a new approach. To this purpose, three research territories were chosen. In the first one, on Communication Accessibility, the "KitAcesso" was researched and produced, consisting of five applications, five info graphics, a workshop and an informative blog. The applications were selected through curatorship, specialized readings, supervised internship guidance and searches on websites supported by selection criteria. Info graphics were elaborated as a form of documentation. For the production of the research data, a workshop was held on the processes developed and, finally, the creation of a blog to disseminate of the kit. The second territory, on Accessibility with Rapid Prototyping, there was also the process of research and production of "KitAccessSol" compounded by the solution of two accessibility problems. The first one on architectural and instrumental accessibility through the design, model and 3D printing of a keyboard adapted for people with low vision. The second one on architectural accessibility through the design and model of a mobile ramp access to the drinking fountain of the postgraduate building in the Instituto de Tecnologia da UFPA. The kit also includes a on the adapted keyboard construction process. These problems were investigated during a curatorship of projects, programs and products on free websites on rapid prototyping and during a survey in the accessibility coordination of UFPA. To the third territory, on Attitudinal Accessibility by Art, the film "The Shape of Water" was chosen to reflect on attitudinal accessibility seeking to understand how film language can reinforce stereotypes, myths and prejudices that were historically and culturally built, as well as in order to contribute to dialogue on inclusion. The cartography from these territories went the long way along both the elaboration of laws that ensure rights of people with disabilities and in the construction of processes and/or products that promote accessibility, particularly in higher education, with an approach that sought to be broad, but considering important particularities. There is a great lack of knowledge about applications that help people with disabilities and it is necessary to promote digital literacy on accessibility at the university. Despite technological advances, the 3D printer is still little used at the university level as a tool to promote accessibility, a few simple and low cost projects in Assistive Technology are implemented and there is a lack of trained professionals in this area. As for attitudinal accessibility, there is a great silence that needs to be broken, we believe that Art is a promising way as it approaches sensitivity to promote encounters, which can mean the changes we have dreamed of and a more inclusive society.

Tutorial do software tuxmath: uma multimídia em libras
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-03-16) CASTRO, Fábio Júnior da Silva; SALES, Elielson Ribeiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5467537517169068; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6242-582X
This present research of qualitative approach originated since experiences lived in the teaching process and observation in relation to lack of accessibility computing resources to the deaf person. We aimed to produce a tutorial in sign language as a multimedia format using TuxMath software, as a didactic and pedagogical tool for teachers and deaf students involved in the teaching and learning process of the four fundamental operations of mathematics. We adopted as theoretical reference authors such as Felipe (2013), Goldfeld (2002), Lacerda (2006), Quadros (2007), Stumpf (2010) Strobel (2007), Almeida (2006), Arroio (2013), Moura Perlin (2008), Skliar (2013), Frizzarini (2014), Borba (1999) and Tikhomirov (1972). Data were taken in the Laboratory of Multimedia Education and Production of Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) through footage of interviews with a deaf mathematics professor, collaborator of this research, who explained the functions of TuxMath software in Brazilian Sign Language, the collected data were edited for the multimedia production of the educational product that composes this dissertation. After the filming and editing of acquired data, a discussion was conducted emphasizing the product, from the software used, the construction process to the final elaboration and validation of the final product, which is presented in the perspective of a proposal of bilingual education, Sign and Portuguese languages, having as relevance the understanding of a deaf person in relation to the software, along with our interferences. We conclude that both the dialogues with authors that grounded the research and the construction of the product and its validation, denote the importance of accessible digital resources to deaf people who live in a listening world, but that their means of communication occurs mainly by the visual space channel. Thus, we understand that there is a lack of methodological resources such as the one we developed in deafness, mathematics and computer areas, that provides to the deaf person a better understanding of different areas of knowledge.
