    O que pensam as crianças ouvintes a respeito da inclusão de crianças surdas no ensino regular: um estudo comparativo com crianças brasileiras de uma escola pública e uma escola privada
    (2010) DORNELES,Beatriz Vargas
    The present study investigates how hearing children describe the insertion of a deaf child in a classroom. The influence of social class in relation to the acceptance of deaf children by hearing children is analyzed. 144 children from 3rd to 5th grades participated in the study, distributed as follows: 76 from a private school and 68 from a public school, both belonging to the city of Porto Alegre, RS. The public school primarily serves social classes of low socioeconomic status, and the private school serves students from predominantly middle and high social classes. Everyone was given the same task: completing a story that described the reaction of hearing children to the insertion of a new deaf classmate into the class. The study demonstrates that students intend to carry out some form of communication with the deaf child and to promote moments of integration inside and outside the classroom environment, although they demonstrate a somewhat protective discourse in relation to this subject. who consider not fit but still able to communicate. Understanding how hearing children could relate to and include a deaf child in the classroom raises possibilities for new ways of thinking about the preparation of such children for possible inclusion processes. Recognizing children's ideas, feelings and forms of communication helps educational institutions to invest in inclusion policies.
