Abstract

This article will elaborate on the analysis of educational materials for learning Mexican Sign Language (MSL) designed during the period 2004-2018. Those materials have the objective of showing the signs to perform the movements faithful to its configuration. Currently, the materials available to students contain graphics that present movements that tend to confuse the shape of their configuration. Thus, our research question was:  What sort of graphic qualities in the images used for didactic materials in MSL can provide the most faithful visual representation for students to acquire?

The general objective for this project was to develop guidelines that show the graphic representation of MSL in teaching resources and dictionaries by studying the visual composition of printed materials. The specific objectives were 4: 1. Familiarize ourselves with the current configuration of the graphic components of teaching material for MSL. 2. Reinterpret the Relational Structure model to analyze the MSL teaching material from the geometric and perceptual levels. 3. Carry out a pilot analysis. 4. Formulate guidelines for the design of teaching material in MSL. It is considered that from the graphic analysis of the most popular books, we will be able to identify the most favorable patterns or codes of graphic representation of MSL. Using qualitative, descriptive, and analytical tools, we organized a total of 65 words from the following five teaching materials in a grid: 1. Spanish-Mexican Sign Language Dictionary (DIELSEME). Introductory study to the lexicon of the LSM, 2. Hands with voice, 3. Manual of Mexican Sign Language (DIF-PUEBLA Municipal System). 4.Mexican Sign Language Dictionary of Mexico City. 5.My hands that speak. Sign language for the Deaf. Therefore, in this article, 5 sign words are presented as graphic compositions according to the Relational Structure model, geometric level: 1. symmetry, 2. proportion of the figure, 3. perspective. The perceptual level: 4. contrast, 5. proximity, 6. similarity, 7, common destiny, 8, continuity.
