PERCEPTIONS OF LIBRAS TRANSLATORS/INTERPRETERS ON THE INCLUSION OF DEAF STUDENTS AT THE FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF RONDONIA

Abstract

The objective of this research was to analyze the inclusion of deaf students at the Federal University of Rondonia, from the perspective of Libras translators/interpreters. The research was characterized as observational, qualitative in nature and cross-sectional. 08 Libras translators/interpreters participated. Data were collected through an electronic questionnaire on Google Forms. The results revealed that the lack of preparation/qualification of teachers and public servants to work with this public is identified as an important barrier, with communication being the worst problem. Practical activities are better monitored and theoretical activities prove to be challenging, especially due to the translation/interpretation of certain specific terms in each area.
