“DIVERSITILS”: sequência didática de um componente curricular de extensão universitária de tradutores e intérpretes de Libras - Língua Portuguesa a partir da abordagem dos Estudos Culturais

Abstract

This study aims to develop a curricular component, structured through a didactic sequence, to enhance the training of Brazilian Sign Language-Portuguese Translators and Interpreters (TILSP) within university extension courses. The proposal is justified by the scarcity of specific training in the cultural field regarding diverse audiences, as identified in bibliographic and documentary surveys. The research addresses the following question: what content and activities can constitute an extensionist didactic sequence for TILSP training capable of fostering competencies and promoting knowledge that considers the plurality and cultural diversity of deaf identities and their respective intersections? Grounded in the Cultural Studies approach, this work is characterized as applied and exploratory research with a qualitative focus. The locus of investigation was the Extension Program for the Training of Libras-Portuguese Translators and Interpreters (ProformTILS) at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA). The target audience included specialists, practicing TILSPs, and students from the aforementioned program. The educational product, titled “Diversitils”, was developed using the Design Thinking methodology and employs the Didactic Sequence as a pedagogical framework for the teaching-learning process, presented in PDF format and designed via the Canva platform. Validation was conducted through the Delphi technique and the Likert Scale using semi-structured questionnaires. The results indicate a high rate of agreement among evaluators (between 92.3% and 100%), confirming the material's originality, practical feasibility, and social relevance. It is concluded that “Diversitils” fills a gap in TILSP training by integrating Cultural Studies theory with professional practice, demonstrating potential for replicability and expansion into specialization courses and further doctoral-level investigations.
