Sentidos subjetivos relacionados à motivação de alunos surdos para participarem do clube do pesquisador mirim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi

Abstract

Inspired by González Rey’s Theory of Subjectivity, in this study I searched to investigate the motivation of two deaf to participate in a class of Club Researcher Mirim (CPM) of the Goeldi Museum (MPEG). In this theoretical perspective, the motivation is conceived as a subjective production. Subjectivity, simultaneously social and individual, is studied from a qualitative approach, that values the individual cases, the dialogical and constructiveinterpretative character of the information construction. I conducted research in a context of child scientific initiation, with a class of 12 children and two deaf, in a space of non-formal education where everybody learned Libras. During the academic year 2012, I observed and recorded the 31 meetings of the class. At the end of the year, I conducted interviews with those responsible for the children and with junior researchers listeners, using an audio recorder. I conducted interviews with deaf students in sign language also. These were recorded and later transcribed and analyzed. For the construction of the indicators of deaf motivation I considered the perspectives of family, colleagues and deaf people. From these indicators, I conclude that deaf students are motivated to participate in the CPM. Both showed similar Indicators of interest. They do not want to miss or be late for meetings; want to learn / teach Libras, make friends, learn and continue the CPM while they can; enjoy the activities and physical space. But their subjective senses configurations are different in relation to Libras and sciences learning, their relationships with colleagues and plans for future. Participate in the inclusive class of CPM contributes to the formation of friendships and also for the learning of the deaf, in a different way from what happens in school.
