Letramento profissional do professor: uma análise de práticas desenvolvidas no atendimento educacional hospitalar e domiciliar

Abstract

Literacy practices are driven by reading and writing and serve different social purposes. In the atmosphere of the hospital class, these practices make up the work of teachers with the aim of contributing to the school demands of children and adolescents in hospital. In this sense, the study of these practices makes it possible to give intelligibility to the constitution of the teacher's professional activities in non-formal educational spaces. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to analyze the professional literacy practices of teachers who work in Hospital and Home Educational Care, specifically, in a public hospital in the city of Natal/RN. Methodologically, the investigation lies within the scope of Applied Linguistics (MOITA LOPES, 2006; KLEIMAN, 2019), takes a qualitative interpretive perspective (MOITA LOPES, 1994; BOGDAN; BIKLEN 1994; MOREIRA; CALEFFE 2006; CHIZZOTTI, 2005), with an ethnographic bias (ANDRÉ, 1995; SILVA; SILVA, 2016).Theoretically, this research is anchored in the Literacy Studies (HEART, 1982; STREET, 1984, BARTON, 2000; BAYNHAM, 1995; KLEIMAN, 1995, 2005; ROJO, 2009), including, in Labor Literacy (PAZ, 2008), in Health and Psychology studies (OLIVEIRA; MAIA, 2012), Hospital Schooling (RODRIGUES, 2012; BEHRENS, 2014; CASTRO, 2014), and in the dialogical conception of language (BAKHTIN/VOLOSHINOV ([1929] 2016; ALVES, 2016; FREIRE, 2016). The investigation was carried out from the categories listed by Hamilton (2000), which comprise: participants, environment/domain, artifacts and activities. The analyzes point to the occurrence of several practices of professional literacy that the teacher working in the Hospital and Home Educational Service performs, among them are consultation of the census, interview with companions, correspondence with the school of origin, reception of the student, assistance in beds, room service, student registration and planning. Its implementation aims to contribute to the literacy of student-patients, especially school literacy, taking into account aspects related to the hospital environment, the pathology of the student, the social context in which he is inserted, the school of origin, among other factors.
