Abstract

The objective of this research is to reveal the link between Deaf culture and the school curriculum and the importance of working with both unified as one: a Deaf Curriculum. Deaf culture exists, however, it is not recognized socially and academically; and I believe that this condition is essential for the affirmation of the rights of the deaf. The right that we support here is the Deaf Curriculum, constituted by the deaf community and whose mother tongue is sign language, which recognizes and values ​​Deaf culture. The fundamental problem is that education has not been a guaranteed right for Deaf people due to the unacceptance of their culture and identity; and this is due to ignorance about Deaf culture; which prevents their recognition, development in the school curriculum and, above all, the fulfillment of their rights as citizens. The object of research was the deaf communities within the school space, learning spaces that prioritize the use of sign language as the language of instruction, as is the case of current Bilingual Schools. It has been proven that the experiences shared in the Deaf Curriculum allow Deaf people to feel capable and cultural subjects, because they grow in contact with other Deaf people, they are educated to live in a Deaf reality and from this period, until they are adults, They participate in Deaf movements, build their identity and can fully enjoy their citizenship, in the full exercise of their rights.
