A Escolarização da literatura no ensino médio em Xinguara-Pará: mediações docentes e dos recursos didáticos

Abstract

This study seeks to understand how happens the process of literature schooling in the state secondary schools in the municipality of Xinguara, state of Pará. Thus, we sought to describe the guidelines for literature teaching in the national official documents; to catch the forms of teaching mediation in schools surveyed; identify the role of the textbook and of the school library in the process of the literature schooling. As it was opted methodologically by the case study and this forsees that the methodological tools used include a variety of techniques and procedures, typical of qualitative studies, they were used during the survey: questionnaires and open structured interviews applied to the teachers, coordinators and principals related to the schools investigated; production of diary and field notes about the visits and informal conversations with the studied subjects; document analysis (textbook, records of meetings, PPP, official documents and educational material produced by teachers-subjects) and visits to the libraries of the participating schools. The municipality of Xinguara has two schools and an annex belonging to the state network that offer high school. Thus, it was selected to be interviewed during the research six teachers from the effective team, three pedagogic coordinators and two principals. From the analysis of the data generated in this survy, both the bibliographic and the one of field and it was found that most of the individuals surveyed are unaware of most of the guidance contained in official documents, which can be attributed mainly to the lack of offering of continuing education for these professionals. The PPP of the surveyed schools do not contain projects of motivation to the reading and the formation of the literature reader. The literary contents are approached by the historiographical perspective and occupy most of the time destined to the Portuguese language classes. The main influence on the choice of the contents and of the literary readings are the selection processes for the admission in state universities. The recommendation to an interdisciplinary approach that appear in official documents is not favored by the curricular structure itself and for the lack of the complementary hours in order to the teachers be able to prepare the lessons and projects with this purpose, for this reason prevails the interdisciplinary work that happens only inside the discipline. The libraries of the institutions surveyed, in addition to having a small collection, work poorly, being that for the lack of professional placed in these vacanes are always kept closed, the sporadic assistance to the students depends on the professionals working in other areas.
