Min studie och mitt syfte riktar sig mot pedagogers användning av barnboken i den dagliga verksamheten på förskolan. Utifrån användandet av barnboken så har jag valt att rikta mitt fokus mot ett genusperspektiv. Mitt syfte är därför att också titta närmare på om/hur pedagoger använder sig av barnboken i sitt genusarbete i förskolan. Mina frågeställningar är: Hur använder pedagoger, enligt dem själva, barnboken i den dagliga verksamheten? Och hur förhåller sig pedagoger till användningen av barnboken som ett pedagogiskt verktyg när det kommer till arbetet kring genus i förskolan? Jag valde att använda mig av metoden intervjuer i min studie för att kunna få pedagogers svar utifrån mina frågor. Jag har gjort en undersökande studie där jag har valt att intervjua två pedagoger från en kommunal förskola och två pedagoger från en fristående förskola. Jag har sammanställt förskolorna och sedan tittat på och jämfört svaren utifrån mina valda teoretiska perspektiv. Det färdiga resultatet visar på att barnboken används dagligen på de bägge förskolorna och att genus är något som pedagogerna alltid är medvetna om. / My study and my purpose is focused on teachers' use of children's literature in the daily activities in preschool. Based on the use of the children's book, I have chosen to aim my focus towards a gender perspective. My purpose is also to look into whether/how teachers use children's literature as a means to problematize gender. My questions are: How, according to themselves, do educators use children's literature during daily activities in preschool? And what are the attitudes of these educators to the use of children's literature as an educational tool when it comes to problematizing gender in preschool? I chose to work with interviews in my study to get teachers answers based on my questions. I have made an investigative study where I have chosen to interview two teachers from a public preschool and two teachers from an independent preschool. I have compiled the preschools and then looked at and compared the answers from my chosen theoretical perspective. The final result shows that children's literature is used daily in both of the preschools and that gender is something that educators always keep at the back of their minds.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi elaborar e verificar a eficácia de um programa de intervenção pedagógica baseado nos recursos da Literatura Infantil e contação de histórias para crianças com dificuldades de aprendizagem e indicados para participar da Sala de Apoio Pedagógico (Reforço). Tal Programa demonstrou a importância de práticas pedagógicas em sala de aula, que aliem literatura e alfabetização para o aprimoramento da leitura, linguagem oral e escrita dos escolares. Foi delineado um programa de intervenção utilizando a Literatura Infantil e a contação de histórias, aplicado em 20 crianças de 07 a 10 anos de idade, de ambos os sexos, divididas em G1 (10 crianças) e G2 (10 crianças) pareados por sexo. Ambos os grupos apresentavam dificuldades de aprendizagem relatadas pelos professores das salas de aula regular e frequentavam a sala de Apoio Pedagógico (Reforço) de uma Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental no interior de São Paulo. As crianças do G1 foram expostas a princípio à intervenção pedagógica. As crianças do G2 não foram expostas a princípio à intervenção, mas por questões éticas, foram submetidos à mesma após o término do Programa. O referido programa constituiu-se de 14 sessões de frequência semanal, com duração aproximada de 60 minutos em cada sessão a ser realizada na sala de Apoio Pedagógico (Reforço) com a presença e participação ativa dos professores desta sala. Antes e após a aplicação do Programa, foram realizados testes para se avaliar o nível de escrita, linguagem e leitura dos escolares, assim como avaliação do desempenho de cada um deles pelo próprio professor da sala de aula regular que os mesmos frequentavam, para verificar se houve melhoria na aprendizagem dos mesmos. Portanto, este estudo implementou um Programa de Intervenção Pedagógica e demonstrou sua aplicabilidade e eficácia verificando-se que os escolares com problemas de aprendizagem apresentaram melhoria acadêmica na leitura, linguagem oral e principalmente na linguagem escrita. / The objective of this research was to elaborate and verify the effectiveness of a pedagogical intervention program based on the resources of Children\'s Literature and storytelling for children with learning difficulties and indicated to participate in the Pedagogical Support Room (Reinforcement). This Program has demonstrated the importance of pedagogical practices in the classroom, which combine literature and literacy to improve reading, oral and written language of schoolchildren. An intervention program using Children\'s Literature and storytelling, was applied in 20 children from 7 to 10 years old, of both genders, divided into G1 (10 children) and G2 (10 children) paired by sex. Both groups had learning difficulties reported by teachers in regular classrooms and attended the Pedagogical Support Room (Reinforcement) of a Municipal School of Elementary Education in the interior of São Paulo. The children of the G1 were exposed in principle to the pedagogical intervention. The children of G2 were not exposed to the intervention principle, but due to ethical reasons, they were submitted to it after the end of the Program. This program consists of 14 sessions of weekly attendance, lasting approximately 60 minutes in each session to be held in the Pedagogic Support Room (Reinforcement) with the presence and active participation of teachers in this room. Before and after the application of the Program, tests were carried out to evaluate the level of writing, language and reading of the students, as well as evaluation of the performance of each of them by the regular classroom teacher that they attended, to verify There was an improvement in their learning. Therefore, this study implemented a Pedagogical Intervention Program and demonstrated its applicability and effectiveness by verifying that students with learning problems presented academic improvement in reading, oral language and mainly in written language.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how pre-school values makes visible in children´s literature. Thereby the study adds more knowledge of which norms and values the children meet through children´s literature. To achieve the purpose, I have chosen to analyse four picture books written 2012 and 2016. The publishing years are chosen so that the books in an accurate way can describe the norms and values we see today. The results show that we in children´s literature can see the basic democratic values on which the preschool´s values rests. The characters in the picture books shows good examples of values such as care, respect, solidarity, participation, equality and human dignity. However, values such as discipline and integrity are usually portrayed by the fact that the characters first make mistakes and then correct them to desired behaviours around these values. The most obvious norm in the analysed picture books were the norm of gender. In particular, we see how this norm is challenged and questioned by the fact that several of the girls are portrayed with male characteristics and that the boys discuss what is considered typically male and female. / Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur förskolans värdegrund synliggörs i barnlitteratur. Därigenom bidrar studien med kunskap om vilka normer och värden barnen möter i barnlitteratur. För att uppnå syftet har jag valt att analysera fyra bilderböcker från åren 2012 och 2016. Utgivningsåren är valda för att de normer och värden som förekommer ska vara aktuella för vår tid och troligen skildra normer och värden som omger oss i vår samtid. Resultatet visar att de grundläggande demokratiska värderingar som förskolans värdegrund vilar på är tydliga i barnlitteratur. Karaktärerna i bilderböckerna visar på goda exempel och skildras som förebilder gällande värden som omsorg, respekt, solidaritet, delaktighet, jämställdhet och människovärdet. Däremot skildras värden som disciplin och integritet oftast genom att karaktärerna först gör fel för att sedan korrigeras till önskade beteenden kring dessa värden. Den tydligaste normen i de analyserade bilderböckerna var genusnormen. Framför allt ser vi hur denna norm utmanas och ifrågasätts genom att flera av flickorna skildras med manliga egenskaper samt att pojkarna diskuterar vad som anses vara typiskt manligt och kvinnligt.

Another field of study which lacks further research is the translation of contemporary children s literature in Brazil. The present work intends to analyze how the linguistic variations are organized in the translation of a children s book. The corpus is the contemporary book series The Adventures of Captain Underpants (1997) (in Brazil, As aventuras do Capitão Cueca, 2001). The study of this book series targets to understand how linguistic variations take place in the translation process, especially the diastratic variation focusing on child language. The original and the translated books are analyzed and compared so that the coherence of terms and resources can be observed with emphasis on slang and child language , as different books from the series were translated by different translators. The theoretical principles come from Translation Studies, Sociolinguistics and Literacy. / Um campo pouco explorado nas discussões em torno do ato tradutório é o que descreve e analisa a aplicação dos níveis sociolinguísticos na tradução. Outro assunto cujos estudos ainda são escassos no Brasil é o da tradução de obras infanto-juvenis atuais. A presente pesquisa busca verificar de que maneira se organizam as variedades linguísticas em especial a diastrática dentro do processo tradutório de uma obra literária infantil. O corpus é uma obra contemporânea, a série de livros The Adventures of Captain Underpants (1997) de Dav Pilkey (no Brasil, As aventuras do Capitão Cueca, 2001). Por meio desse estudo particular, procura-se compreender como as variações linguísticas, principalmente a variação diastrática no que tange à variedade da criança, ocorrem no processo de tradução. Analisam-se as obras original e a traduzida, contrastando as e observando alguns volumes da série para verificar coerência de recursos e termos -focalizando a gíria e a modalidade infantil utilizadas , uma vez que diferentes números foram trabalhados por diferentes tradutores. O embasamento teórico partirá de fundamentos da tradutologia, da pesquisa sociolinguística e de estudos sobre alfabetização.

Este trabalho pretende discutir a importância da Literatura Juvenil Africana para o processo de formação do leitor literário, tendo em vista a prioridade dada pela educação brasileira à diversidade histórica e cultural que a constitui. A pesquisa, cujos objetivos são apresentar algumas reflexões acerca do ensino de leitura literária e contribuir para a aplicação da Lei 10.639/03, possui caráter empírico. Foram selecionadas duas obras Ynari- a menina das cinco tranças e Uma escuridão bonita, ambas do escritor angolano Ondjaki a fim de desenvolver um projeto de leitura com alunos do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental II, numa escola do município de São Paulo. Essa seleção baseou-se na importância dada ao negro e na valorização de alguns dos aspectos centrais da cultura africana o respeito pelo mais velho, o poder da palavra e importância da tradição oral. A leitura dessas obras buscou ressignificar o olhar das crianças e adolescentes sobre a história e cultura africana, marcadas pelo preconceito e estigmas seculares no Brasil. As reflexões histórico-teóricas sobre a formação do leitor literário pretendem contribuir com a metodologia adotada e oferecer para os docentes um material mais completo. Este trabalho está fundamentado numa perspectiva comparatista, pois estabelece relações entre Literatura Infantil/Juvenil e Sociedade. / This work aims to discuss the importance of African Youth Literature, to the process of training/formation of literary readers, considering the priority given by the Brazilian Education to the historical and cultural diversity that it is consisted in. The research, which objectives are to present some reflexions about the literary reading education and to contribute to the enforcement of law 10.639/03, has empirical character. Two works were selected Ynari a menina das cinco tranças and Uma escuridão bonita, both from the angolan writer Ondjaki in order to develop a reading project with students from 9th grade of elementary school II in the city of São Paulo. This selection was based on the importance given to people of dark skin and appreciation of some of the central aspects of African culture respect for the older, the power of words and the importance of oral tradition. The reading of these works sought to reframe the eyes/concept of children and adolescent about. African history and culture, marked by the prejudice/prejudgment and secular stigma in Brazil. The historical and theoretical consideration/reflections about the methodology adopted and offer the teachers a more complete material. This work based on a comparative perspective, due to it establishes relationships among Children/Youth Literature and society.

Children's literature affects the child's socialisation process, including the shaping the gender roles. But despite this, up to now children have featured less in gender scholarship. Against this backround, this paper seeks to critically interrogate the physical, social, economic and political manifestations of masculinities in selected Kiswahili children\'s books from Kenya. By analysing these works, we hope to demonstrate that power and ideological aspects of masculinites are rooted at childhood. Since special attention will be paid to the ideological and power basis of the masculinities, the analysis of the selected works is done in the encompassing prism of Critical Discourse Analysis revealing hegemonic masculinities.
