Educação e literatura: a relação texto-vida na sala de aula

Abstract

The study investigates the impact of the relationship text-life in the literature reading activity in elementary school learners in pedagogic mediation situation. The learners are students of the 4th grade of elementary school in a public school in Natal / RN -Brazil. The methodological approach is qualitative, involving exploratory research and intervention protocols. In the exploratory stage we performed reflective interview with the class teacher and application of an adapted questionnaire with the learners. In the intervention phase we conducted eight mediation sessions with the book The Yellow Bag (BOJUNGA, 2005) and the tale Bye (BOJUNGA, 2008) planned and implemented according to the scaffolding reading experience: pre-reading, reading and post-reading (GRAVES; GRAVES, 1995). Among the activities proposed in the post-reading we resorted to the discussion activity and to the reading blog. In the data analysis, we based ourselves in the studies of aesthetics of reception theory (JAUSS, 1994, 2013; ISER, 1999; 2013); reading and literature (JOUVE, 2002; SMITH, 1989; PETIT, 2009; AMARILHA, 20; RABBIT, 2000) and imagination, fiction and reality (HELD, 1980; SARTRE, 1996; VIGOTSKI, 2014; ECO, 1994). The results show that the mediation of the relationship text-life favors the formation of an active reader who thinks about what they read, invokes their life experiences, establishes links with the written text and updates them as they select and combine new information, thereby building new meanings giving meaning to the written word. By using the relationship text-life, we put in evidence the life of the learner and their way of reading literature and reading life, of positioning themselves as the thinking subject, who expresses their own opinions, having a turn and a voice in school.
