LITERACY: the development of teaching projects through aldravias
Literacy; Teaching Projects; Aldravias.
This research is linked to line III - Language, Teaching, Learning and Technology and aimed at reflecting on the formation of the literary reader in basic education through teaching projects. In its essence, it intended to reflect on the application of a project of reading and production of aldravias entitled Aldravilhando, implemented in a public school in Santa Bárbara-MG. Aldravias are synthetic poems, with only six univocabular verses. They dispense the rhymes, graphic punctuation, and metrics, making use of metonymies and keep the focus on the discourse and on the reader’s construction of meaning. The key question that guided the research was: how can a teaching project focused on the reading and production of aldravias contribute to the formation of literary readers? The hypothesis underlying the research is that pedagogical mediation by means of the aldravias can contribute to the formation of the literary reader. We proposed the construction of a theoretical and methodological frame of reference that allowed us to understand the importance of literature and literacy for the formation of the reader. In order to carry out this study, we first of all conducted a bibliographic review, with the purpose of outlining a panorama of research carried out in the field of literacy and studies on aldravias. Then, we sought to reflect on these themes in the light of authors such as Candido (1995), Barthes (1995, 1996, 2003), Compagnon (2009), Soares (2002, 2004, 2006, 2009), Cosson (2011, 2018, 2019), Leal (2013), and Donadon-Leal (2001, 2002, 2003, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2018). The research methodology used is of a qualitative nature, based on the analysis of the stages and didactic sequences developed during a reading project, in addition to the didactic-pedagogical resources, results, and publications achieved with the project. Research with this approach is justified because little is known yet about the use of aldravias in the reader education environment. Furthermore, the development of literacy through teaching projects, with emphasis on the student's protagonism, pedagogical mediation, and the participation of the school community in the teaching and learning process, is of great importance. The results achieved through the cataloging of data from the Aldravilhando project showed that there were contributions from this pedagogical practice both for the development of literacy and for the humanization process in basic education students of a municipal public school.
