Abstract

This research has the purpose to do an investigation about the Deaf Industry Workers schooling in industries considered large entities in the city of Pelotas. The research was outlined in a quantitative and qualitative study. It was intended to examine the documents of institutions such as SESI, SENAI, National Confederation of Industries and SESI School. It was also aimed to know the history of the Education of Youth and Adult within the Brazilian industries, besides mapping the industries affiliated to the Federation of Industries of Rio Grande do Sul and identifying the number of deaf workers in the industries of Pelotas. Semi-structured interviews were made in order to recognize the reasons that led the deaf workers to stop studying. The semistructured interview consists of a script with main questions. During this kind of interview information may emerge more freely and the answers are not conditioned to a standardization of alternatives. The script was used to collect the basic information, as a means for the researcher to organize the process of interaction with the interviewee. The reasons that led the deaf workers to stop studying range from the lack of an interpreter in the school where they studied to their hard work routines, which was a big obstacle for them to study in a regular school. However, an education product was created a guide for the production of materials of the SESI School for the deaf workers of the Pelotas industries
