Professoras dialogam com o texto literário Dialogues between teachers and literary texts
Abstract
O objetivo deste artigo é discutir as concepções de linguagem e as maneiras pelas quais professores organizam sua sala de aula para o trabalho com a leitura e a escrita. Foram realizados, entre 1997 e 1998, seminários em que professoras de escolas públicas da cidade de São Paulo tiveram oportunidade de falar de sua prática pedagógica, partilhando, no grupo, suas dúvidas, acertos e propostas de trabalho. A leitura de textos literários e teóricos foi enriquecida com anotações feitas no caderno de escrita, com imagens do cinema e música. Com humor, tentou-se desconstruir palavras e rótulos que dissimulam preconceitos e limitam as interações em sala de aula. Estabeleceu-se correspondência com os alunos dos professores, tornando mais efetivos os projetos didáticos conduzidos pelos docentes em suas classes. As cartas, desenhos e postais trocados com as crianças estimularam a atividade intelectual e reavivaram o trabalho pedagógico.The aim of this paper is to discuss teachers' conceptions of language and ways through which they organize their classroom in order to provide reading and writing. Workshops were held with teachers from public schools of São Paulo City, Brazil. In these meetings, the attendants were free to speak about their practices and to share doubts, improvements and proposals with colleagues. The reading of literary and theoretical texts during the seminars were enriched by the teachers' own writings, movies and musical rhythms. With humor, it was tried to disconstruct words and labels which convey prejudices, restricting interactios and learning among students and their teachers in the classrooms. In addiction, letters were exchanged with students, giving birth to didatic projects that made classrooms' practices more effectives. These letters, drawings and postcards exchanged with children incentivated intelectual activities and pedagogical work.
