This study refers to an empiric research of descriptive qualitative characteristic, which involved the elaboration, conduction and analysis of a Physics teaching proposition for the deaf, centered on visual experience. The teaching proposition combines a Hydrostatics activity sequence, at the introductory level, with the experimentation strategies, learning groups and bilingual communication assisted by an interpreter, in an education perspective that aims at knowledge inclusion. The study aimed to try to comprehend how this proposition is able to assist the deaf in the development of relevant physical concepts, as well as the development of other important subject matters for the integral growth of the human being, having the reference of culture and experience of this community s members. The proposition was elaborated and conducted, centered on visual experience, in a constructivism pedagogical conception of human development, founded on the Vygostky social-historic theory and the meaningful learning theory of Ausubel. Young and adult deaf, who are members of Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Surdos (APAS), of the city of Passo Fundo, RS, have taken part of this research. The participants were assisted at the workshop modality offered by APAS. As data collection instruments, written entries on activity books of the young and adult deaf, the teacher s diary, questionnaires and shootings of the classroom episodes were used. The results analyses were done by using the content analysis method. For the analyses, the young and adult deaf were categorized in groups, namely, Group 1, composed by three students, who attended inclusive classes during their educational journey, without the assistance of an interpreter, and Group 2, composed by two students, who have had a mix of inclusive classes with the assistance of interpreters and classes attended by deaf students only, with teachers who communicated through Brazilian Sign Language. The results of this work indicate that it is possible to include young and adult deaf to knowledge with the use of teaching methods that privilege sight, in which the students demonstrated the possibility of development of conceptual subject matters with the formulation of Hydrostatics introductory concepts, they also demonstrated attitudinal subject matters such as communication, self-esteem, socialization, involvement, interest and curiosity to learn, and proceedings subject matters such as adequate handling of experimental material, measuring executions, observations, regularities examinations, hypothesis confirmation and comparison. As one of the results of this work, a didactical modulus containing the teaching-learning activity sequence used for this study was elaborated and may be used by other teachers as a support to the teaching of the deaf.
