O uso de espaços virtuais no ensino-aprendizagem da literatura afro-brasileira

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect on the contribution of the use of virtual spaces for the teaching and learning of black literature in elementary school in order to know how these spaces can motivate students to read literary texts and at the same time to reflect on the ethnic and cultural diversity of the Brazilian people. It consists of an interpretative analysis of the kind action research, developed in a largely qualitative approach. For over a decade, official documents determine the teaching of African history and culture and african-Brazilian in basic education, but the applicability of this teaching is still not a reality in everyday school life, especially with regard to the teaching of literature. At the same time we experience this problem in basic education, another phenomenon calls into question: the use of new technologies in school teaching and learning. Digital technologies have proliferated in a fast way in our daily lives, which requires new teacher perceptions of learning and teaching, to include in their teaching practice the use of these technologies in order to promote student learning. It is from these contexts, we think in carrying out this study of black literature and the use of virtual spaces. The survey was conducted in a class of 9th grade of elementary school of EEEFM Teacher Raul Cordula, the city of Campina Grande-PB. It is based on a didactic sequence, involving work with reading black literature on websites and blogs of african-Brazilian authors and the production of a website and a blog to disseminate this literature. Data were obtained from a questionnaire administered to study subjects and speeches made in the discussions in the classroom and in virtual spaces throughout the development of the sequence. Implementation of the work in the classroom and beyond the school walls allowed a plurality of activities in which students, away from behave as information from passive recipients, actively acted in the search, exchange of information, collaborating with the teacher to an end: study black literature which certainly contributed to the creation of a positive imagery of the black. The theoretical references were sought, especially in Duarte works (2008), Cuti (2010), Fonseca (2006), Birth (2004), Souza (2005), Munanga (1999), Bezerra (2014), Oliveira (2014) Kenski (2007 and 2008), Moran (2009), Marcuschi (2010), Levy (1999), JJ (2010 and 2013), as well as consultations with blogs of writers / the african-Brazilian / as, and specific sites on the literatures african-Brazilian and African, with scientific articles and literary texts, as Literafro and Quilombhoje.
