Este estudo constituiu-se em uma alternativa às formas com as quais a literatura, na maioria das instituições escolares, vem sendo ensinada. O cunho historicista ao qual a disciplina se vinculou tem agregado poucos resultados ao desenvolvimento da competência de leitura dos estudantes (testes como PISA e SAEB confirmam esse dado), não favorecendo a ampliação de seu universo pela experiência estética, atingido via experimentação da literatura clássica. Acredita-se que, dentre outros fatores, a falta de leituras complexas e do hábito de pensar são elementos que interferem diretamente na formação do estudante. Assim, o objetivo dessa investigação, inserida na linha de pesquisa Educação, Linguagens e Tecnologia, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade de Caxias do Sul, traduz-se na oferta de subsídios metodológicos para a abordagem da leitura da linguagem literária no Ensino Médio, a partir de uma proposta de leitura de contos de Anton P. Tchekhov, sistematizada via aplicação de uma oficina. Essa oficina foi planejada sob os pressupostos metodológicos do Método Recepcional (BORDINI e AGUIAR, 1993) e dos Roteiros de Leitura (SARAIVA e MÜGGE, 2006), que concebem o texto literário como uma obra artística e situam o leitor como o foco do processo compreensivo/interpretativo, considerando suas concepções, expectativas e vivências, e visando a alteração de seu horizonte de percepções a partir da leitura literária. Para sua execução, foram planejadas atividades pré, durante e pós-leitura com quatro contos de Tchekhov (cuja obra é parte integrante do acervo do PNBE/2009), com vistas a examinar a alteração no campo de percepções dos estudantes anterior e posteriormente à mediação realizada na oficina de leitura. Os resultados da pesquisa, coletados a partir de tarefas escritas referentes aos contos e da técnica de observação direta, confirmaram o cenário atual da literatura na escola e evidenciaram o refinamento de algumas habilidades de leitura dos estudantes, propiciadas pela experiência da leitura clássica. Os 4 sujeitos-participantes, alunos do terceiro ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola da rede privada de Veranópolis, evidenciaram a compreensão/interpretação dos contos lidos e foram capazes de ler o "não-dito", traço característico da literatura clássica, criando significações a partir da mediação do professor-pesquisador, essencial para que os estudantes não fizessem uma leitura superficial das narrativas. Dessa forma, parece que direcionar a obra à vida do estudante e fazê-lo perceber a riqueza do clássico como algo que diz muito da condição humana foi uma orientação relevante e talvez um passo inicial para a reconstrução de princípios metodológicos ao ensino de literatura na escola, bem como para a revisão das concepções educacionais vigentes nesses ambientes, já que a educação literária forma o sujeito numa perspectiva amplamente civilizatória. As estratégias desenvolvidas nessa oficina, baseadas, principalmente, no levantamento e confirmação de hipóteses e na discussão aberta das questões polissêmicas dos contos, podem, certamente, ser adaptadas às aulas de literatura no Ensino Médio, sendo elas uma oferta de ensino que privilegia a leitura do texto na sala de aula ao invés do estudo de teoria literária. Cabe ressaltar que a mediação do professor, traduzida na elaboração das estratégias de leitura dos contos e do questionamento constante da leitura feita pelos sujeitos, teve o papel de evidenciar minúcias e vazios do texto que, talvez, pudessem passar despercebidos aos olhos dos estudantes, numa proposta que entende o estudante como receptor do texto e produtor ativo de significações. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-06-03T16:47:58Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Athany Gutierres.pdf: 8849440 bytes, checksum: 33ff64596e619683a5bb64be48a4611f (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-06-03T16:47:58Z (GMT).

The historicist view the discipline took has added little results to the development of reading competence of students (tests such as PISA and SAEB confirm these data), not favoring the expansion of their universe through aesthetic experience, which can be reached by classical literature. It is believed that, among other factors, the lack of complex readings and the habit of thinking are elements which directly interfere in the student´s development. Therefore, the objective of this investigation, inserted in the research line Education, Languages and Technology, at the Graduate Program in Education at Universidade de Caxias do Sul, lies on the offer of methodological contributions to the approach of literary language reading in secondary schools, based on a reading proposal with short-stories by Anton P. Tchekhov, via reading workshops. These workshops were planned under the methodological assumptions of Método Recepcional (BORDINI e AGUIAR, 1993) and the Roteiros de Leitura (SARAIVA e MÜGGE, 2006), which conceive the literary text as a work of art and place the reader as the focus of the comprehension process, taking his assumptions, expectations and experiences into consideration and aiming at the alteration of his horizons from the literary reading. To be carried out, pre, during and post reading activities were planned based on four Tchekhov short-stories (whose work is part of PNBE/2009), in order to examine the alteration of students´ perceptions before and after the mediation done in the workshops. The research results, collected from the written tasks designed for the short-stories and through the direct observation technique, have confirmed the scenario of literature in schools nowadays and have showed the improvement of some of the students´ reading abilities, provided by the experience with classical reading. The four individuals, students from the third grade of a private secondary school in Veranópolis, have demonstrated the comprehension of the short-stories and were also able to read the "unrevealed", trait of the classical literature, creating meanings based on the mediation of the researcher-teacher, which is essential for students not having done a superficial reading of the narratives. This way, it seems that directing the text to the student´s own life and helping him realize the wealth of classics as something which reveals a lot of the human condition has been a relevant orientation and maybe a starting point to rebuild methodological principals to teach literature in schools, as well as to revise the current educational concepts in this environment, since literary education develops the individual in an widely civilizing perspective. The strategies developed in this workshop, mainly based on the survey and confirmation of hypothesis and the open discussion on the polysemic issues of the texts, can certainly be adapted to literature classes in secondary schools, considering they are a teaching offer which privileges reading texts in the classroom instead of studying literary theory. It is also relevant to mention that the teacher s mediation, seen as the elaboration of the reading strategies and the permanent questioning on the readings been done, had the role of evidence details and gaps of the text, which, maybe, could not be noticed by the students, inserted in a proposal which understands the individual as the receptor of the text and as an active producer of meanings.

This thesis reports on research into micro-interactions within the reading literacy event Reading on the Mat in three Grade One classrooms. This event is the core of literacy learning in Foundation Phase classrooms in formerly ‘white’, government-funded primary schools in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, and takes place daily for every child. It is literacy practice resembling Group Guided Reading. The research focused on teachers’ identity-forming decisions, actions and discourses as a way of examining micro-interactions within the literacy event. Hymes’s work on the ethnography of communication provided categories for the investigation. Using an ethnographic approach, I entered the sites of the study as a participant observer. There I focused on the central literacy event, in which a group of children and the teacher sit in close proximity. I made field notes, video recordings and audio recordings in three sets of visits spanning the full school year. These were supplemented by teacher interviews, consideration of reports and assessments, and an analysis of the text types used on the Mat, for example, graded readers, flash cards and phonics primers. Beginning with Hymes’ S.P.E.A.K.I.N.G. mnemonic, cycles of analysis using multiple instruments foregrounded the data. The central finding of this research is that in Reading on the Mat children are offered identities through strong normative work and embedded practices. Teachers promote positive identities for children as successful readers and create positive affect for reading activities. This positive positioning work is however undercut by three factors: first, the fact that activities on the Mat focus on decoding text fragments rather than interrogating whole texts. The resultant identity offered to children is one of code breakers alone. A finding subsidiary to this, but important for pedagogic practice, is that teachers’ choice of text types is the most powerful determinant of children’s code breaker identity. A second factor that undercuts children’s identity as successful readers is that, although they are active, they have little agency. This derives from the strong assessment focus of teachers on the Mat and their questioning practices. A third factor which undercuts the positive identity children are offered in this literacy event is that, by focusing primarily on decoding fragmented text and on assessment opportunities, teachers avoid engaging with issues of differentiation and disregard cultural and linguistic differences. Teachers’ choices, therefore, while creating a positive climate in the classroom and developing emergent readers who are effective decoders, construct children as limited literate subjects. The same choices enable teachers to ignore learner diversity. / Adobe Acrobat 9.54 Paper Capture Plug-in

The purpose of the project was to develop a comprehensive literature unit that integrates essential meteorology study within the relevant chapters of the book. Since the development of such a unit needed to encompass much more than merely the reading of the book and the study of applicable meteorological material, a multi-faceted literature experience was designed.

In this project an educational DVD about the life and writing styles of John Steinbeck was developed for use in high school freshman classrooms at Yucaipa High School. Additional activities to stimulate students' writing and composition in the style of Steinbeck were created to match educational theory and state standards.

A rural Rio Grande Valley school has continuously performed below the state average on the reading portion of the State Assessment of Academic Readiness. One of the concerns expressed amongst teachers and staff is the student’s lack of desire to read for pleasure or for academic purposes. This study examines the attitudes of students and staff in towards reading by focusing on the school’s reading culture. A mixed methods approach consisting of interviews, participant observation, a focus group, and a survey was employed in this study. The study found that the teachers and students maintained two polarizing perceptions of their reading culture. Based on these findings the following recommendations were made: create a literature-centered curriculum, increase and vary the selection of school library books, and align teachers’ perception with the students’ perception to create a unified reading culture.

The colonial history of South Africa and its legacy of cultural and linguistic domination have resulted in a situation where the. literatures of the majority of South Africans were relegated to the margins of institutional, social and cultural life. Exclusion (of local writings) was the principal mode by which power was exercised within university English departments. It is within this context that this study posits lacunae and challenges for the reconstruction of the South African literature curriculum. Although various approaches have been used by English departments during this decade to include South African literature in the curriculum (pluralism, inter-disciplinary studies, alternate canon formation, canon rejection, eclecticism, elective programmes, etc.), the curriculum continues to repeat the established norms and values of colonial/apartheid society, it avoids confronting the ideological construction of traditional English literature and is a revamping or upgrading of the programmes offered during the colonial/apartheid era. The genealogical study uncovers the production, regulation, distribution, circulation and operation of statements, decentres discourse, and reveals how discourse is secondary to systems of power. Chapter Four explores both theoretical and methodological underpinnings for the reconstruction of the South African literature curriculum deriving from the critical educational approaches of Freire, Giroux and Apple, the discursive approach of Foucault and the post colonial reading strategies of Zavarzadeh and Morton. The teaching of South African literature would best be served by working within a critical paradigm, having as its objective the goals of critical educational studies. Chapter Four also includes a review of the curriculum in local practice through a curriculum impact study using empirical research based on the 1996 English literature syllabi of South African universities as well as the findings of the surveys conducted by Malan and Bosman in 1986 and Lindfors in 1992. Chapter Five posits recommendations for curriculum reconstruction with the main focus on the intervention of radical strategies that would lead to a new conflictual reading list. The objective is to put the canon under erasure by problematising the concept of literariness. Such an approach also reveals the power/ knowledge relations of culture, ideologies that dominate the discipline and the institutional arrangements of knowledge. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D.Ed.
