Propuesta de actividades lúdicas que incentiven a la comunidad educativa de la Fundación Oasis en el Desierto al conocimiento de la lengua de señas.

Abstract

The present proposal focuses on motivating and raising awareness among members of the Oasis in the Desert Foundation toward learning new communicative skills through sign language. This initiative would positively impact the linguistic, emotional, and social development of users with hearing disabilities and strengthen the social and community fabric of the foundation. The proposal is based on a qualitative research process utilizing data collection methods such as open interviews and observation sheets, involving the administrative and educational staff of the foundation. The theoretical foundations draw on theories related to playful activities and their contribution to learning, detailing the characteristics of these activities and the different types of hearing disabilities. Sign language is defined as a visual communication system that utilizes movement. The proposal includes five playful activities, each with specific objectives, necessary resources, preparation, and execution plans designed to motivate the foundation's staff to learn sign language. A rubric is provided to evaluate and monitor progress, facilitating feedback that helps improve the learning process.
