Concepções de leitura: implicações na ação docente para a formação do sujeito leitor (professor/ aluno)

Abstract

For many years it was believed that the entry of the child into the world of reading is initiated only by developing the skills of decoding words. Although this is a necessary knowledge, reading practice is not limited to developing this skill. However, this way of conceiving the reading is still most present in classrooms. This work has as main, the reflection, comprehension and re-evaluation of teachers on their pedagogic acts in classes that involve reading. The theoretical and methodological framework brings contributions of conceptions of language, reading, the conditions of reading in the classroom, under the theoretical point of view Travaglia (2009), Kato (1985,1987), Geraldi (1984, 1996 and 1997) Kleiman (1995, 2004), Smith (2008), Marcuschi (2008), Leffa (1996), among others. Theoretical framework that seeks to put the research and that work in the field of Applied Linguistics. The analysis has corpus in the reading practice of a teacher in a group of the second year of elementary school, a Public School, located on the east side of the city of Campina Grande-PB. This analysis is qualitative in nature since it seeks to interpret data generated in the development of a reading proposal aimed to the teacher, initially, and in the course of work, for the group of students of that teacher. In this sense, the research that accounts for such data is considered an action-research that provides the inclusion of didactic intervention in the concerned field of study. The analysis results show that teacher’s formation directly involves their teaching practice. We emphasize in this regard that the contribution of intervention work made possible the expansion of the conceptions of reading, a fact that is evident in the way the teacher in question deals with reading, going beyond the decoding of the written code. The data thus show the importance of create opportunities for teachers of the continuing formation (permanently) that meet the real needs and difficulties of teachers, that is, it is necessary to know the history of teachers and their teaching practice.
