Acordando leitores adormecidos: uma experiência no fundamental I

Abstract

This research sought to investigate the reception of literary texts students of a third grade elementary school class in a public section of the municipality of Massaranduba – PB. Since the class contained readers in the process of literary, this study aimed to if students – especially those with age / grade distortion- would participate in the proposed activities; as well as to identify that the presented activities would be significantly meaningful. Moreover, to understand how literary texts would be able to touch them as readers. And more importantly, to make them develop reading and writing skills in part of what the schools expects them to do. Starting from the hypothesis defined by Barthes (2007) that is possible from the literary text to promote the conjunction between different subjects of the school. Since based on the literature, it is possible to mobilize different knowledge, this study shows how a systematic work from literary texts can be a possible alternative for teachers who teach in the classes whose students have distortion of age and grade for which the school seems to be avoid of positive meaning. From a qualitative nature, this research is anchored in studies on literacy, especially literary literacy, and with the focus on the description and reflection of a set of activities that were developed during the intervention that we carried out in the mentioned class from a didactic sequence on the work “Amanhecer Esmeralda”, by Ferrez. This didactic sequence, whose viability of application we reflect in a specific chapter which was the final product of our research. We took the following theoretical methodological orientations as a beacon for our research: Candido (2002, 2011), Eco (2011), Cosson (2012), Soares (1998) Paulino (2009), Evangelista (1999), Souza (2009). Therefore; this study is about the role of ethnographic research, since it tries to describe and analyze the live and experienced in the field of research in order to promote changes in the investigated reality. To do so, as an instrument of data collection, we use a semi-constructed interview, recordings, field record, participant observation and questionnaire application. We reiterate the relevance of the research carried out, pointing out that the scarcity of studies that focus on the study of reality described initially. This reality in fact is the classrooms in which students are not literate and consequently present age / grade distortion as well as considerable retention rates in the same series and low level of literacy. As a result, our study is relevant not because it identified difficulties in the formation of readers in the first year of elementary school, but because it presents a methodology that is created and tested in the classroom, that can be returned to the classroom of others/teachers concerned with the re-signification of the pedagogical practice itself.
