Science Teaching; Deafness; Hearing Impairment; Narratives; Inclusion; Life Story.Given the visible advances in the educational field, school inclusion has gained visibility in recent decades and although the presence of students with disabilities is real and growing in schools, it is clear that in practice inclusion has not yet taken effect. These students do not always actively participate in educational processes, many spend more time in school corridors and courtyards than in the classroom. It is believed that there has already been great progress, but there is still a lack of structure, adequate resources, knowledge, training, training and multidisciplinary support professionals in Brazilian educational institutions. To achieve the objectives, we sought to problematize: What pedagogical strategies are used by teachers who work with deaf and/or hard of hearing students and teachers who work in Specialized Educational Assistance (AEE), with regard to the teaching process of the component curricular Natural Sciences, in the initial years of Elementary Education in public schools in Vilhena (RO)?”. Based on this context, this project presents a qualitative research proposal for life history analysis with a focus on Deafness and Hearing Impairment (DA), in two (2) municipal schools in the city of Vilhena/RO, and thus, in lines general, the objective is to analyze, through the life stories of teachers who work with deaf and/or hard of hearing students, as well as life stories of teachers who work in Specialized Educational Services (AEE), which are the pedagogical strategies used by these educators to serve this audience, with regard to the teaching process of the Natural Sciences curricular component, in the initial years of Elementary School at two public schools in Vilhena/RO. Specifically, the investigation also intends to: Develop a systematic mapping of national production in the period from 2017 to 2022, highlighting discussions about Science teaching and the inclusion of students with deafness and hearing impairment from a life history perspective; Know the life stories of regular classroom teachers teaching Natural Sciences, as well as AEE teachers, relating these stories to the mapped documentary production; Verify how Elementary School I teachers develop natural science teaching for deaf and hard of hearing students in the initial years of two public schools in Vilhena/RO; Find out how educational action is presented from the perspective of inclusion in natural sciences in two regular public schools in Vilhena/RO; To analyze how the school experience of regular classroom teachers and teachers from the Specialized Educational Assistance (AEE) resource room occurs in relation to the inclusion of deaf and hearing-impaired students in regular classes. For the development of this project, we sought to guide methodological paths through research based on the theoretical framework, bringing connections between the authors: Silva (2007), Burguer and Vituri (2013), Rosana and Antunes (2020), and Glat and Pletsch ( 2009) approaching Life History as a research method.
