Tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação no ensino superior para surdos: uma revisão da literatura

Abstract

This literature review investigates the role of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) as assistive tools in the educational inclusion of deaf students in higher education. Through the analysis of twelve relevant articles, the research reveals that DICT plays a crucial role in promoting accessible and interactive learning environments, facilitating the overcoming of communication barriers and encouraging the active participation of deaf students. Effective pedagogical mediation and adequate teacher training are emphasized as key factors for maximizing the use of these technologies. However, significant challenges remain, such as the need for institutional adaptations and the implementation of inclusive pedagogical practices that consider the specificities of the deaf community. The findings suggest an urgent need for a collaborative commitment among educators, administrators, and the deaf community to ensure inclusive and high-quality higher education. This study also highlights the necessity for future investigations to explore the effectiveness of different pedagogical approaches and inclusive policies to promote equity in higher education.
