SUMMARY:

Language is fundamental to the human being: it contributes to several fundamental issues of the subject's development, such as cognitive and social aspects. Children's language development is dependent on social relationships built with their families and in formal and non-formal school contexts. However, for the deaf child, whose mother tongue is the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), this process is not simple. For the deaf child to have a full language development, he needs to be exposed to a visually accessible language, sign language. For communication and learning of the deaf it is important to make use of multiple representations in a visual medium, in addition to communication in Libras, such as the use of images and texts in written Portuguese, thinking of the school context in which most deaf students are literate in the language majority, as it assists in the acquisition and development of skills such as reading and writing. In the school environment and in this conjuncture that brings bilingualism as an important philosophical approach to the teaching and learning process of deaf subjects, technologies, within the scope of Educational Informatics, bring the great potential of digital tools to make this possible, and can be an important ally. Due to the possibility of bringing multimedia and interactive artifacts, several forms of information representation can be made possible. However, considering educational software that meets the needs of the deaf student, with regard to language acquisition, there is still a very small number of software. In view of the social circumstances that do not favor the development of language by deaf children and in view of the technological advancement that we experience, the central question of this research is: What are the characteristics for an educational software that may come to support the process of acquiring bilingual literacy by the child? deaf? To this end, it was defined as a general objective, to develop a prototype of an educational software that helps in the process of bilingual literacy by the deaf child. To achieve this goal, the following specific objectives were outlined: i) to investigate the essential characteristics to develop the basic structure of an educational software for the deaf; ii) analyze the stages of conception, elaboration and finalization of the educational prototype-software ALFALIBRAS; iii) evaluate the use of the educational prototype-software ALFALIBRAS in its applicability and usability by deaf users. Based on the ideas of Wieringa (2009), the conduct of this research will take place through the epistemological-methodological approach of Design Science Research (DSR), with the regulatory cycle as stages of the research. Thus, the five stages of the regulatory cycle will be: investigation of the problem - process of language acquisition by the deaf child, how can educational technologies help in this process ?; solution design - conception of an educational software prototype (ALFALIBRAS) to support the process of acquiring bilingual literacy by deaf children based on the investigation of the essential characteristics to develop the basic structure of educational software for the deaf; project validation - analyze the stages of conception, elaboration and finalization of the educational prototype-software ALFALIBRAS; implementation - use of the ALFALIBRAS educational prototype-software by deaf users; evaluation of implementation - application of a questionnaire so that they can be answered by deaf users who will use ALFALIBRAS, projecting as a result that the software will be validated by the deaf community and that it will contribute with teachers for the language development of this student.
