Encontros literários: leitura, literatura e educação básica

Abstract

The present study investigates an experience of teaching accomplished in basic education, developed in the classes of Integrated High School of the Federal Institute of Education Science and Technology of Tocantins, Campus Paraíso. Through this experience, we tried to approach literature teaching aiming the development of the students' reading skills. Initially, the study involves a bibliographical research with the perspective of understanding education from its foundation until its implantation as a legal right, observing, whenever it is possible, the reading and literature practices applied in this course. Afterward, the research approach becomes documentary, aiming to show how the teaching of literature is proposed in the basic education official documents, confronting at times with the practice developed in schools and, in other moments, with the contradictions between the concepts and guidelines presented in the official documents. Finally, the study brings the analysis of the use of active methodologies (BERBEL, 2011). The results show that the official documents present literature as an element of great importance for the humanization and creative imagination of the students, which are activated by literary reading; on the other hand, also points that literature is obsolete, when they present the guidelines for the effectiveness of this teaching funded in historical and aesthetic knowledge. Besides, the results points that the project developed at Campus Paraíso do Tocantins has reached the student reading formation through the interdisciplinary alignment with the various artistic forms. As theoretical bases, were used the studies of the following authors: Yunes (2002, 2009), Compagnon (2009), Cambi (1999), Saviani (2013) and the official documents of basic education, PCN (2002), OCNEM (2006) and BNCC 2018).
