Literatura infantojuvenil e sua relevância para o desenvolvimento do aluno

Abstract

This academic paper aims to demonstrate some aspects of the literary importance to the human, cognitive, and psychological development of students. To demonstrate it, we focus on some specific forms of teaching according to which literature is worked in Spanish classes, such as: tales, theater, movies, songs, poetry, comic books, toy library. These devices and elements provide inclusion, and motivate language usage, imagination, and reality perception. This is a research with a bibliographical and qualitative basis that takes into consideration contributions from the studies of Freire (2022); Cândido (2011); Vygotsky (1998) and Cervera (1989), as well as formal documents that govern the Brazilian education. As a result, we learn about the pedagogical issues integrated into the teaching of literature in the acquisition process of instructional thinking of a good moral character and distance of prejudices. We try to explain how important is background knowledge to the teacher, the playful expertise, the social interaction in class, the critical, cultural, and ethical thinking regarding the students, and the self-knowledge of emoticons. We outline the importance of a teacher in class as the one who provides the proper conditions to students think about themselves, their family, and their role in society. From this perspective, we reassure that teachers are essential agents who are there to develop and stimulate students to writing and get enthusiasm and like when reading.
