Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the difficulties that are present in the relation between teaching and learning of a deaf student and his interpreter in a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics. Firstly, we identify the main learning difficulties of the deaf student, we highlight some difficulties of interpretation experienced by two interpreters of Libras and we conclude by analyzing in what terms the Libras facilitates the teaching of mathematics for this student. In order to reach the proposed objectives, we conducted interviews with the deaf student and his interpreters of Libras, we observed both the professional practice of the interpreter and the difficulties of the student-deaf and interpreter relationship for a period of 30 days in two subjects of this student's curriculum. Through the analysis of the data obtained in the interviews and the observations made, we verified the difficulties and the challenges that the deaf student and these professionals face daily and we comment the contributions of the Libras exemplifying situations in which their correct use facilitates in the process of teaching / learning of the deaf student .
