Abstract
Purpose: to investigate the teachers’ knowledge on educational speech-language-hearing pathology and the importance of auditory and linguistic skills to learning, comparing the answers of public-school teachers with those of private ones.
Methods: an exploratory study with a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach, conducted with 25 teachers working in kindergarten and elementary school. Data were collected with a questionnaire comprising 19 closed-ended questions (which dealt with the relationship between language, hearing, and learning) and one open-ended question (which approached their knowledge on educational speech-language-hearing pathology. The quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, and the qualitative ones, with theme modality content analysis.
Results: in general, the teachers recognize the importance of hearing and language to learning, although they do not feel prepared to deal with it at school, neither do they have more specific knowledge of auditory processing. The results obtained in the open-ended question revealed an also limited knowledge on educational speech-language-hearing pathology. In this sense, their greatest source of information was some teachers’ previous experience with the work of a speech-language-hearing pathologist within the educational setting. No important differences were observed between the answers given by public school teachers and those by private ones.
Conclusion: the teachers’ knowledge on educational speech-language-hearing pathology and the importance of hearing and language to learning is still limited, which requires more investment in the training in this field.

Resumo
Objetivo: investigar o conhecimento de professores sobre a Fonoaudiologia Educacional e sobre a importância das habilidades auditivas e linguísticas para aprendizagem, comparando as respostas dos docentes entre escola pública e privada.
Métodos: estudo exploratório de abordagem mista, quantitativa e qualitativa, realizado com 25 professores que lecionam na Educação Infantil e Ensino Fundamental I. A coleta de dados foi realizada mediante um questionário composto por 19 perguntas fechadas, que exploraram a relação entre linguagem, audição e aprendizagem e 01 pergunta aberta, que abordou o conhecimento sobre a Fonoaudiologia Educacional. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados por meio de análises estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais e os qualitativos por meio de análise de conteúdo na modalidade temática.
Resultados: os professores reconhecem, de modo geral, a importância da audição e linguagem para a aprendizagem, embora não se sintam preparados para lidar com isso na escola e não possuam conhecimentos mais específicos sobre o processamento auditivo. Os resultados obtidos na pergunta aberta também revelaram um conhecimento limitado sobre a Fonoaudiologia Educacional e a principal fonte de conhecimento foi a experiência prévia de alguns professores com trabalho do fonoaudiólogo inserido no contexto educacional. Não foram observadas diferenças importantes entre as repostas dos docentes de escolas pública e privada.
Conclusão: os conhecimentos dos professores acerca da Fonoaudiologia Educacional e da importância da audição e linguagem para a aprendizagem ainda são limitados, sendo necessários maiores investimentos em formações nesta área.
