Estudos de leitura e letramento : reflexões e práticas escolares

Abstract

This research aims to investigate and discuss the practices and the conceptions of teachers of a municipal public school of Cuiabá-MT. In order to this, we resorted to the theoretical assumptions of Bakhtin and the Circle (1929; 1952-53; 1970-1971/1979; 1974/1979) whose approach the language as a socio-historical-culture process, associated with the learning and human development theory of Vygotsky (1930; 1934). In addition to these authors, also compound the theoretical framework of this study the discussions about Critical Literacy whose has as theoretical basis Freire (1987), The New London Group (1996, 2012), Cassany (2005), Pereira (2010 e 2012) and Paes de Barros (2012, 2014), among others. We searched, then, to know the conceptions of teachers with respect to reading and literacy and provide by means of the interactions between the subjects teachers/researchers of the study group, subsidies for reflections on their practice. For this, we conducted reflexive-critical meetings with the teachers, subjects of the research. In this circumstance, we collected the data of this work by means of audio recording and video. The interaction provided moments of learning among the participating pairs. The reflections on pedagogical practices, reading and literacy and considerations on teaching and learning in the context of the School, offered moments of deep perceptions about the social responsibility of teachers. In this sense, our research participates in an important process, the critical reflection. The data also show the importance of rethinking on the teacher training courses, once the change pass by a significant process of reflection, critical intervention and transformation/emancipation of the subject.
