The research entitled "Initial Teacher Training: contribution of the Libras discipline to the
future teachers of basic education" highlights a actual theme in the context of inclusive
education for deaf education in primary education, after the recognition of the Brazilian Sign
Language as the second official language in Brazil. With the introduction of Libras in the
curricula of undergraduate courses, we see the need for this discipline to provide the academic
(future teacher) with elements that qualify him for his performance in the classroom. The
challenges that this professional will encounter in the exercise of teaching with a deaf student
may be: communication barrier, understanding of the deaf culture, teaching methodologies
that met the educational needs of these students, etc. In view of this context, which is to train
teachers to work in educational diversity, we ask: How is the offering of the Libras discipline
contributing to the formation of the teacher of Basic Education for the teaching of deaf
students? We propose to identify how the Libras discipline and the resources contained
therein are contributing to the initial formation of teachers to work with deaf students in the
basic education network in three public HEIs in the city of Manaus, as well as: Institutions
and courses selected disciplines that address issues involving special and / or inclusive
education and Libras; To analyze the Pedagogical Projects of Courses (PPCs) and the menus
of the Disciplines Special Education and Libras in three courses of degrees offered by the
public HEIs and VERIFY the perception of academics and teachers as to the level of
relevance of the Libras discipline as well as its impact on the initial training of future teachers
in the selected institutions; Presentation of a proposal to revise the menu of the Libras
discipline for Higher Education Institutions that offer undergraduate courses. For the
development of this research we use the methodology exploratory beyond the bibliographical
research. As an instrument of data collection, questionnaires, both for the training teachers
who teach the Discipline Libras and for academics who attended said discipline. The results
indicate absence of practical work in two Higher Education Institutions or even the challenge
of emulating the students to make reflection / action / reflection, also, we understand that it is
urgent to align theory with practice, favoring the emergence of Contributions that may help in
the pedagogical work, whose research needs to be put into practice with theories, according to
the existing educational reality and suggest improvements, actions, methods and materials
that can positively impact the learning of those students in need of a differentiated approach .
To finalize this study, we elaborated a didactic and functional proposal, which resulted in a
Product titled: Revised Proposal of the Ples Discipline Menu for undergraduate courses, duly
expanded and revised, with significant alteration of content and workload, both theoretical
and practical , Unfolding it in two complementary disciplines and, of course, the first one
presents itself as a prerequisite of the second, for its complementarity, with the intention of
contributing to the improvement of the initial formation of the future teacher.
