O ensino de língua portuguesa ministrado por pedagogos: um estudo com alunos dos anos iniciais de uma escola pública em São Luis-MA

Abstract

This monograph focuses on analyzing the pedagogical practice of teaching how to read and write, during the early years of students, in a public school of São luís, state of Maranhão, Brazil, considering the “teaching-learning” process and its implications to the formation of young readers. Since there are still many students who have certain difficulties to read and write properly, some factors influence directly in that problem, for example: poor infrastrcuture of schools, lack of school libraries, outdated pedagogical practices, inappropriate books and lack of family support. Therefore, in order to analyze the pedagogical teaching practices of reading and writing, a case study was conducted in a public school in the city of São Luís-MA. The metodology consists on the observation of classes, interviews with two professors that teach in the 3th and 4th years of primary school and the application of questionnaires to the students of the classes to understand their perceptions about the reading and writing practices. Besides, it aims to identify how the teaching of this subject is planned by professors. As results of the research, it was noticed that students show joy for reading, many of them like, mainly, books that have fairy tale characters, but also poems, among other types of literature. Furthermore, the study indicates the necessity of more activities that may increase the interest of reading outside classrooms, for instance in libraries of the city or the school ifself, even with difficulties presented by the professors as heat, small space to behave students and lack of training by the secretary of education.
