نبذة مختصرة : The study performed in this dissertation is focused on the access to Brazilian Higher Education by deaf people through Enem [Brazilian High School National Examination]. It analyzes accessibility as a principle, such as mentioned by Davidov (1987), who provides full mediation of knowledge and the successive and conscious character of school education. Such accessibility concept exceeds the provisions of Brazilian legislation and rise debates on Enem’s offer to deaf people who are fluent in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras – BSL).

In this view, Enem, as a construct developed to check psychological agencies and measure the concepts learned by High School graduate students, is taken by deaf people in limiting conditions. For obtaining this research data, one used the mixed method to analyze documentary sources and extracted microdata including quantitative data of who took Enem in 2010 and 2011. The information sources were documents publicly available on the website of Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais [Brazilian Institute of Studies and Educational Researches] (INEP), such as Enem pedagogical reports, technical summary from Higher Education Census, and handbooks for training developers about the items of the exam. Choosing the two-year period 2010-2011 derived from the difficulty to access the data regarding the target-public of specialized services in Enem, which is included in 2009-2010 reports but in a similar manner, considering the rearrangement of the reference matrixes only for 2010 and 2011. By using statistical analysis ...
