O Trabalho do Professor em Sala de Aula: ensinando a ler e a escrever

Atualmente, a alfabetização como trabalho escolar encontra-se em situação bastante complexa. O ensino tem sido criticado, com freqüência, a ele são atribuídos os baixos desempenhos dos estudantes em leitura e escrita. A formação dos professores também é questionada por não ser adequada à realidade educacional do país. Na prática, observamos o embate de novas propostas pedagógicas – sobretudo da estruturação curricular em ciclos e do construtivismo - com as práticas que há muito tempo predominam no sistema de ensino. As interpretações das propostas pedagógicas não são uniformes no trabalho docente, variam com nas escolas e nas salas de aula. Muitas vezes, o construtivismo é confundido com antigos métodos. Como o ensino atual é afetado por propostas de mudanças pedagógicas complexas, a compreensão do que ocorre com a alfabetização pode ser facilitada com a distinção entre as práticas vinculadas a diversas concepções teóricas.O estudo da didática da alfabetização pode ajudar ao desenvolvimento desse processo por permitir identificar as transposições das diversas concepções teóricas para o trabalho escolar. Neste artigo, apresentamos uma visão geral das abordagens metodológicas e das práticas didáticas a elas correspondentes. Para isso, revisitamos os métodos de alfabetização, a proposta feita pedagógica elaborada por Paulo Freire para a alfabetização de adultos.

Educandas do PEJA em: conversas sobre a língua inglesa e sua influência no cotidiano

Este trabalho foi desenvolvido a partir de eventos de letramento em língua inglesa a educandos de EJA do projeto de extensão PEJA, UNESP – Rio Claro. Os sujeitos participantes foram mulheres, na faixa etária entre 40 a 70 anos, que não tiveram oportunidade de estudo anteriormente e agora buscam concluir o Ensino Fundamental. Pensamos buscar nas falas dessas educandas, por meio de eventos de letramento, suas reflexões sobre a presença do inglês em nossa sociedade e como lidam com essa língua estrangeira (LE) cotidianamente. Entendemos letramento como uma forma de prática social de leitura e escrita, resultante do processo de ensino/aprendizado de um grupo social ou individual. Os eventos de letramento vêm proporcionar aos indivíduos participantes da pesquisa um aculturamento, um contato inicial e gradual com uma LE. Pretendeu-se otimizar esse contato com a língua inglesa expondo esses indivíduos a situações cotidianas em que o uso dessa LE estivesse presente. Levamos para a sala de aula elementos normalmente encontrados no cotidiano, material que consistiu em fotos de materiais publicitários encontrados nas ruas centrais da cidade e que continham essa LE, na tentativa de fomentar um diálogo e discussão de idéias. Objetivou-se motivar esses alunos de EJA a observarem o quanto a língua Inglesa está presente em nosso dia a dia, estimulando o desenvolvimento de uma leitura crítica e reflexiva. Ao final do trabalho percebemos que a maioria das educandas reconhece a constante presença da LE em questão e que, ainda que não tenham tido ensino formal nessa LE, estabelecem algum tipo de relação com tal LE em diversas esferas de suas vidas. E, muitas vezes, entendem o significado de uma palavra estrangeira devido à preferência dos falantes em utilizá-la em detrimento à língua materna, o que indica um processo de naturalização do inglês no mundo lexical dos brasileiros.

Leituras recomendadas para as Escolas Normais no Brasil e na França (século XIX): transferências culturais e de modelos pedagógicos / Recommended readings for Teacher Training Schools in Brazil and France (19th century): transfers of culture and pedag...

Com o objetivo de contribuir para a democratização da memória escolar no Brasil, em especial, da história da formação de professores primários nas décadas finais do século XIX brasileiro (caso paulista) e francês, apresentam-se, resultados de pesquisas de doutorado, desenvolvidas mediante abordagem histórica centrada na análise da configuração textual de três documentos: 1. lista de livros da caixa nº 1 adquirida por Paulo Bourroul, Diretor da Escola Normal de São Paulo (1882-1884), quando de sua viagem à Paris em 1883; 2. lista de livros contidos no relatório de José Estacio Corrêa de Sá e Benevides, Diretor interino da Escola Normal de São Paulo em 1884; 3. Catalogue des bibliothèques des Écoles Normales (1887), publicados pelo Ministro da Instrução Pública e de Belas Artes da França, Jules Ferry. Constatou-se importantes aspectos da cultura escolar relativos ao “ensinar normalistas a ensinar” leitura e escrita decorrentes das transferências culturais e de modelos pedagógicos na relação/representação Brasil-França.

Accuracy in dictation after improvement of reading and copying skills in a student with learning difficulties

The aim of this study was to use systematic teaching in a clinical setting using software to teach reading and writing in one boy with learning difficulties and obtain accurate performance in dictation. In the pre-test, the student showed good performance in matching-to-sample tasks (96% in matching printed words to dictated words; 88% in matching pictures to dictated words), although he obtained a low percentage of correct answers in the dictation of constructed responses (52%) and manuscripts (24%). The teaching strengthened the selection of printed words matched to dictated words and copying words. The student obtained 100% correct answers in the teaching tasks. In post-tests of dictation, he obtained 100% correct answers in constructed response and 96% correct answers in manuscripts. The results indicate that carefully teaching copying may promote accuracy in the performance of responding to minimal units in dictation tasks.

Cultura da Wikipédia como Política de capacitação compartilhada em meio digital de socialização do conhecimento

Presents a developing laboratory within History of Culture, subject taught in the Library and Archive Studies at UNESP (Marilia). The project is based upon the foundations of research line Information and Technology: students from the second under graduation year participate in the improving of 27 entries in Portuguese language Wikipedia. The aim is to capacitate for scientific reading and writing in digital media, habilitate for the information identification and recuperation and for the interpretation and understanding of formal and contents aspects and its reorganization. It includes activities of search, selection, remix and republishing of texts, images, audio and videos in the convergence of diverse hypertext information sources, supported by tutors with strategic abilities in digital environments. In this sense it was adhered to the international Wikipedia Foundation University Campus Ambassadors project. It’s also aimed to induce sharing and collaboration behaviors with the purpose of creating necessary habits for the informational empowerment in Brazil. As methodology is to optimize the work of individuals already trained in wiki culture and to create in within the subject information sharing programs with a more specialized bias, giving greater credibility to the digital environment. The environment syntaxes helps in the learning of the complementary skills of reading and writing and offers itself as an open repository from which information can be reused. It is, thus, an empowerment strategy in the search of autonomy and self reliance considering intersemiotic knowledge in the edition, visualization and understanding of information in the social web. A second step of a verifying research on the environment’s credibility after the consolidation and dissemination of the entries improvement work is proposed.

O livro de Alzira

Aiming it contribute to discussions on teaching and learning of reading and writing, is presented, in the form of critical review, the analysis of textual configuration of the book Será que fui eu?, by Alzira Silveria. This analysis was developed based on the assumption that reading and producing written texts are specifically human activities whose function and importance beyond the boundaries of the school and change ways of thinking, feeling, will and act, promoting qualitative changes in process of human development and providing active participation in the public world of written culture, and therefore in society and history. This is the main “life lesson” that the author of the book teaches all interested in the subject, especially to school teachers responsible for teaching reading and writing, which can only be successful if and when they understand themselves as historical and social people who, also experience reading and producing written texts, not only as necessary acturties for their teaching performance, but rather as essential activities for human development, of people who are author of their own speech frow and about their life and history.

Como escutar os gritos de quem não consegue ler e escrever: percursos de um projeto de extensão desenvolvido pela UNESP

Data presented here is the result of an extension project developed by UNESP which aims to support children who complain about learning disabilities. These students with reading and writing problems were part on intervention sessions, individually and/or in small groups, in which different games and non-usual activities were implemented. These intervention sessions seek an improvement in the non-learning situation and, above all, a change in the relationship that the children have established with these school subjects. So far, the main results indicate a development in the mentioned areas and a significant improvement in the entire student learning condition, which were verified during the intervention sessions and by the teachers’ and parents’ reports, as well. We also present here reflections on the process of assessment and intervention and about the way these subjects are dealt at school, and the meaning of not learning how to read and how to write for a child.

A alfabetização sob o olhar da Teoria Histórico Cultural: sobre a necessidade e a atividade de estudo

Studies on activity and learning in the cultural-historical approach involves, most cases, the discussions on the higher psychological functions and areas of proximal and real development. Having said that our objective in this paper is to make a discussion about the activity of study and the concepts that involve the teaching of the mother language from the Historic-Cultural theory. We point this way, the importance of this approach in studies on literacy and knowledge of the activity of study as central to the creation of humanizing need of reading and writing, starting from the principle that the creation of needs requires the production of discourses, which have their materiality in the text.

Guia para a transcrição fonética do dialeto paulista

Designed to allow reading, the writing system is a form of representation of speech. However, it does not represent phonetic sounds exactly. This task is realized by phonetic alphabets, with specific phonetic transcriptions. The International Phonetic Association Alphabet (IPA) is most currently used. This alphabet is based on the articulatory possibilities of man. The aim of the present work is to write a phonetic guide to transcribe the Paulista dialect. A phonetic transcription is important in the creation of dictionaries and in the production of speech technologies. It has been established rules to guide the transcriptions. These rules have been defined taking into consideration a standard variety of Paulista dialect. The phonetic rules were set up to facilitate reading in relation to the spelling of Portuguese

Educandas do PEJA em conversas sobre a língua inglesa e sua influência no cotidiano

This paper was developed through literacy events (Barton, 2000) about English language, understood as a social practice of writing and reading. The subjects involved in this research were women, between forty and seventy years old, students of a Young and Adult Education Project (PEJA) that occurs at UNESP/Rio Claro, whose are looking forward to conclude basic school. We intended to see in their speeches reflections about the English language presence in our society and how they deal with this foreign language. Thus, we optimize this contact exposing those women to daily situations where English language was present. To foment dialog and ideas discussions, we brought to the classes common elements, materials such as street advertisements photos with words in English. We noticed that most students recognize the constant English presence and, even they never had formal English education, they were able to establish relations between the uses of English words in everyday Portuguese at most different spheres of life. And, at many times, foreign word comprehension is related to English words use instead of a native one leading to an English naturalization process in the Brazilians speeches world.

Contação de histórias e educação crítica: uma proposta didática

This proposal offers a possibility of approximation of mathematical knowledge at the prospect of Critical Education defended by researchers such as Ole Skovsmose and Paulo Freire. Using storytelling as a methodological resource is intended to develop an activity that allows students to think critically about real-life situations that have democratic questions as ground. The research is part of the branch of mathematics concerned with the education goals of teaching mathematics in basic education. We discuss the relevance of an educational process that enables the development of a democratic competence in the first years of primary education by showing students that their classroom can and should be seen as a community, where everyone has rights and duties. The interpretation and understanding of real situations can be something very complex and uninteresting for students of that age, looking for an attractive feature such as storytelling, which is based on the tendency of Reading and Writing in Mathematics, proposed by Nacarato and Lopes; Cardoso and Fonseca. Adopting a phenomenological attitude in the research seeks to understand if the storytelling can contribute to the formation of the critical student. Assuming this perspective has developed a didactic sequence from the story 'o que os olhos não vêem' from writer Ruth Rocha. The student's writing, favored by the proposed sequence, subsidizes the understanding of their thinking and acting on the democratic situations
