TEACHER TRAINING: THEIR READING HISTORY

Abstract This article aims to show an overview about how the elementary schools are working on reading in school environment in the last decades in Mato Grosso do Sul.   To achieve this goal, twenty three students´ reports enrolled in the second year of Languages at a Federal University were analyzed.  The reports were prepared by the students after they have read the Irandé Antunes text "The reading and its functions", this text was used as mainstay of corpus establishment on this study because Antunes discusses about the problems related to reading in school environment. This work is justified because, although several searches related to reading theme developed in many universities in the country, we noticed that old practices prevail in most schools regarding Portuguese lessons. Based on the reports in which students describe their reading histories in the period they were enrolled in the elementary and secondary school, it was possible to describe the problems that arise in school environment related to reading work. We use as theoretical assumptions Irandé Antunes, Sírio Possenti, João Wanderlei Geraldi and Ezequiel Theodoro da Silva´s words. We brought to the fore matters involving the reading and its relation to the family, grammar supremacy in favor of reading, the neglect of reading in school environment, the textbook presence, and last, indications of reading strategies that we consider successful in school where Portuguese lessons happened according to the Languages´ students in the period they studied elementary and secondary school.

THE PIBID AS ITS STUDENTS: CONTRIBUTIONS IN INITIAL TEACHER TRAINING

On this qualitative and interpretative paper, we analyze what contributions of Scholarship Program Initiation to Teaching (PIBID), funded by CAPES, has given to the formation of their fellows in UNIOESTE, considering the enactment of Law 12,796, of 4 April 2013 amending the text of the Guidelines and Framework Law 9394/96 to include the PIBID, now considered in the country a program of Public Policy which aims to encourage the training of professional teachers to act in public basic education. We conducted semistructured interviews with academic students of the subproject Spanish PIBID UNIOESTE to verify the potential of the program and how they evaluate their participation in PIBID regarding your training. We’ve used as the theoretical studies regarding initial teacher training (GATTI (2010, 2012), GATTI; BARRETTO; ANDRÉ (2011)), studies evaluating subprojects PIBID program (MATTHEW; KADRI EL, Silva (2013)) and official documents such as National Curriculum Guidelines for Teacher Education (2002), the National Policy on Education Professionals Teaching of Basic Education (2009) and decrees that provide for the PIBID. The analysis reveals a very positive perception of the contributions PIBID in teacher training.

Graphical interface for reading and writing in teacher education

ABSTRACT From a broader project, this paper presents a synthesis of theoretical reflections and principles of basic practical procedures for teacher training, focusing on teaching and learning of reading and writing in High School in Brazil. We present a brief history of the academic production, after the redemocratization of the years 1980/90 and we comment some topics proposed by the public policies. We emphasize writing specificities as a technological instrument, decisive for reading and producing texts. Finally, we present two reading practices based on methodological procedures for the graphic treatment of texts. The goal is to put the reader in a position to understand the processes of text construction in the position of authorship. Such practices mobilize "game" senses that affect the reader in the relations of language with writing as a graphic interface and analytical instrument.   Keywords: Reading, Writing; High school.
