The diploma thesis The Bible and Its Adaptations for Children addresses the question of the quality of children's Biblical adaptations. It aims to compile a comprehensive set of criteria based on relevant literature which children's adaptations should meet. These criteria should become a practical tool for primary school teachers to make it easier for them to select quality stories for their lessons. The entire first chapter is devoted to the Bible and should serve as a general knowledge base of the book. The second chapter describes children's literature in terms of its specifics and psychological characteristics of young readers. A special place in this chapter belongs to myth (as one of the essential biblical genres) and the Bible itself, and the examination of their place in children's literature.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Emerson Cappelletti.pdf: 1420448 bytes, checksum: 482e6d0ccb1df29b494df32f5fa4cd1f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-05-20 / Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo / The publication of the Portuguese Language National Curricular Parameters (Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais PCN) (BRASIL, 1998) for primary education represented a significant stride in reading education in Brazil. Where the underlying learning methodology had once relied on a compendium of literary excerpts models of good writing and reading today journalistic and daily life narrative genres constitute the primary source for the administration of pedagogical activities. The progress secured through this new approach finds no corresponding equivalent in literary education, given the apparent decline of literature s centrality within the curricular parameters of schools and society. Add to the sparse didactic guidance provided in the official document the scarcity of academic research on literary education and discourse. Therein lies the principal objective of this study aimed at corroborating shared designated reading within the framework of the PCN. To this end, we proposed the full application of a didactic sequence, the development of which is driven by theoretical aspects of the Education, Linguistics, and Pragmatics of literary discourse. The strategy gave rise to undertaking a full reading of the British story Alice in Wonderland, translated into Portuguese by Ana Maria Machado. Two groups of students were formed, one which read the story without supervision and another monitored by the researcher as the story was read out loud. We proceeded to compare the results of the study with a view to demonstrating our hypothesis that those students supervised by the researcher and teacher and guided by the didactic sequence displayed greater progress in respect of the literary work s key textual and intertextual elements. We concluded that our hypothesis holds, insofar as shared reading guided by the didactic sequence emerged as an important tool for literary teaching and learning in schools / A publicação dos PCN de Língua Portuguesa (BRASIL, 1998) para o ensino fundamental marcou um considerável avanço no tocante ao ensino da leitura no país. Se antes esse ensino estava centrado na análise de um compêndio de excertos literários modelos para o bem escrever e ler -, hoje encontra nos gêneros textuais jornalísticos e cotidianos sua principal fonte para a elaboração de intervenções pedagógicas.. Os avanços empreendidos por essa mudança não encontram correspondentes no ensino da leitura literária, já que a literatura parece ter perdido sua importância dentro dos parâmetros curriculares, da escola e da própria sociedade. Some-se, às poucas orientações didáticas encontradas no documento oficial, o fato da existência de uma também escassa pesquisa acadêmica sobre ensino e discurso literário. Daí surge o principal objetivo deste trabalho ligado à corroboração de uma estratégia de leitura denominada compartilhada pelos PCN. Para tanto, propusemos a aplicação integral de uma sequência didática cuja elaboração nos foi guiada pelos aspectos teóricos da Educação, da Linguística e da Pragmática do discurso literário. Essa sequência trouxe a proposta de leitura integral do conto inglês Alice no País das Maravilhas cuja tradução foi realizada por Ana Maria Machado. Dois grupos de alunos foram formados, um que leu a obra proposta autonomamente e o outro que foi acompanhado pelo pesquisador enquanto a leitura integral do conto era realizada em voz alta. Partimos, depois, para a comparação dos resultados com a finalidade de comprovar a nossa hipótese de que os alunos, que tiveram a supervisão do pesquisador e professor e foram guiados pela sequência didática, apresentaram maior aproveitamento dos dados contextuais e intertextuais da obra literária. Concluímos que nossa hipótese é verdadeira, já que a leitura compartilhada orientada pela sequência didática - revelou-se como importante ferramenta de ensino e aprendizagem da leitura literária na escola

The presented dissertation deals with education of drama in literary lessons on the second grade of primary schools. The theoretic part is dedicated to the definition of literary and dramatic education, what their goals in education are in general and how to achieve these goals. Secondly, it describes drama, its elements and history. The second part is practical. We focus on reading-books and how the discussed topic is reflected in them. We present the "By Reading and Writing to Critical Thinking" programme methods which we then use in concrete preparations for lessons. We afterwards evaluate these lessons based on the extent to which the lessons were successful within the education itself.

Digital applications may serve as tools for making the content of literary education more attractive and for developing pupils' competences, creativity and flexible thinking. Therefore, the aim of this mainly practically oriented work is to explore the didactic potential of selected digital applications in literary education and literary communication. In the theoretical part, we first present both the disciplinary background of our work and the existing knowledge on the use of digital technologies in education, including the main opportunities and risks that these technologies can bring to the educational environment. The practical, more extensive part contains a description of selected specific digital applications suitable for use in literary education classes, for which we evaluate both their didactic potential and the demands on the digital competence level of the user-educator. Finally, the creation of our own digital resources with sample methodologies is also included in the thesis.

RESUMÉ The essence of this thesis is to compare selected reading books or workbooks in terms of the accompanying questions and issues. The work is theoretically based on the characteristics of the pubescent reader and also Bloom's taxonomy, classification and results in international tests like PISA etc. The thesis is also examining the readers' literacy. Its definition is changing in time. Literacy is not only focusing on the knowledge, but also plays an important role in integrating into society. It is a complex of several dimensions (relationship to reading, literal understanding, deduction, metacognition, sharing and application). Each of the components is indispensable. Five reading books of the 9th year of elementary school from different publishers (SPN, New School, Fraus, Alter) were analyzed. Two reading books are published by SPN, but each represents a different approach (the older one is based on the school curriculum, newer relates to teaching according to the RVP ZV). It was not a representative analysis of the whole supply of current reading books, but only a selected sample. Analysis of particular reading books is devoted to the general characteristics and context (author, declared associations with RVP ZV, illustrations, general structure of reading book, etc). In addition the reading books...
