Abstract

Concerns have always been raised about the difficulties and limitation found in deaf education, mainly when it comes to including these students in academic space. The lack of knowledge about the differences between deaf and hearing people is still a taboo for those who do not take part in their culture and way of communicating. Taking into consideration the interactions among them, this research aimed to analyze the deaf students’ conditions and needs in theoretical and practical classes in the Biological Sciences Course in UFU – FACIP. Seventy-five students, ten professors and four technicians from the Biological Sciences Course in UFU – FACIP and associated courses took part in this research. The results of this research bring up some important aspects about the students, professors and technicians’ unawareness about the Deaf, characterizing this sort of interaction as something new in the University. For that reason, they face considerable difficulties in describing the impact of this interaction with deaf students in the classroom.
