Este trabalho consta de relato e reflexões de uma prática de mediação de leitura realizada em uma escola da rede municipal de ensino de Araguaína – TO, em uma turma de 4ª etapa da EJA. Propusemos, inseridos na perspectiva da pesquisa-ação, na abordagem qualitativa (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2008; PRADO E CUNHA, 2007), um trabalho de intervenção com o objetivo de realizar efetivamente a prática de mediação de leitura, contribuindo com o processo de formação leitora do aluno. Observamos, nas práticas escolares de leitura, o desinteresse dos alunos, traduzido na sua dificuldade em compreender textos escritos, sejam eles simples ou complexos. Diante dessa situação e constatação, buscamos uma metodologia que viabilizasse práticas escolares de leituras mais profícuas. Assim, a partir de estudo de referências bibliográficas sobre esse tema (GERALDI, 1997, 2006; KLEIMAN, 2007, 2013; FREIRE 1989; LEFFA 1999; KOCH E ELIAS, 2013), propusemos leituras e mediamos o processo de compreensão realizado pelos alunos, partindo das suas experiências de leitura e discutindo os diversos aspectos que envolvem os gêneros textuais, tendo em vista que nossa proposta de mediação se embasou no trabalho com a diversidade textual, além de discutirmos a importância da leitura proficiente em nossas práticas sociais de uso da escrita. A opção de assumir a postura de mediador de leituras em sala de aula é, antes de tudo, uma decisão que considera em primeiro plano a experiência leitora do aluno, ou, pelo menos, reconhece que esse aluno está inserido em práticas de letramento, e, portanto, já possui o mínimo de conhecimento no uso da escrita. Nesse sentido, a prática do professor mediador é concebida como uma forma de viabilizar o desenvolvimento da habilidade leitora do aluno, estimulando seu interesse, instigando no sujeito aprendiz o gosto pela leitura, e mediando o diálogo entre leitor – texto e leitor-autor. Diante das reflexões e relatos de nossa experiência pudemos observar o quanto aprendemos e compartilhamos com os alunos conhecimentos referentes às leituras realizadas em sala de aula. E ainda tivemos oportunidade de experienciar a prática de mediação de leitura embasada em referenciais teóricos, possibilitando-nos, assim, uma avaliação própria e uma melhor condução das atividades de leitura, o que só acrescentou para nossa prática enquanto profissional da área. A proposta foi pensada numa perspectiva contínua da prática de leitura, incorporada à rotina de sala de aula, pois entendemos que a questão da formação de leitores proficientes é resultado de um longo processo, alicerçado na persistência, regularidade, planejamento e mediação de atividades de leitura. / This work consists of reports and reflections of a practice of reading mediation held in a school of the municipal network of teaching in Araguaína - TO, in a class of 4th stage of EJA. We propose, inserted in the perspective of the action research, the qualitative approach (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2008; PRADO AND CUNHA, 2007), an intervention work in order to effectively carry out the practice of reading mediation, contributing with the process of reading formation of the student. We note, in school reading practices, the lack of interest of the students, translated in its difficulty to understand written texts, whether simple or complex. Before this situation and finding, we sought a methodology that would make possible more fruitful school practices of readings. Thus, from the study of bibliografical references on this subject (GERALDI, 1997, 2006; KLEIMAN, 2007, 2013; FREIRE 1989; LEFFA 1999; KOCH AND ELIAS, 2013), we propose readings and mediate the understanding process carried out by the students, starting from their reading experiences and discussing the various aspects involving the text genres, given that our proposal for mediation is based in the work with the textual diversity, and besides of discussing the importance of the proficient reading in our social practices of writing use. The option to take the readings mediator posture in the classroom is, first of all, a decision that considers foreground the reader experience of the student, or at least to recognize that this student is inserted in literacy practices, and therefore, already has the minimum knowledge in the use of writing. In this sense, the practice of the mediator teacher is conceived as a way to facilitate the development of the student's reading ability, stimulating its interest in instigating in the learner the like for reading, and mediating the dialogue between reader - text and reader-author. Before these reflections and stories from our experience we have seen how we learn and share with students knowledge concerning the readings taken in the classroom. And still we had opportunity to experience the practice of reading mediation based in theoretical frameworks, enabling us, thus, a proper evaluation and a better conduction of reading activities, which only added to our practice as a professional of the area. The proposal was thought in a continuous view of the reading practice, incorporated into the routine of the classroom, because we understand that the issue of the training of proficient readers is the result of a long process, based on persistence, regularity, planning and mediation reading activities.

Despite an intense focus and considerable financial commitment to remediate nonproficient readers in high school, the large suburban school district that was the target of this study had been unable to consistently improve student achievement in the lowest 25% of students as measured by outcomes on the FCAT Reading. Scholarly literature on high school reading had focused mostly on evaluation of curriculum rather than on teacher practices. A clear understanding of these differences in practice will inform future decisions related to staffing, scheduling, and professional learning. This study sought to identify the underlying professional and instructional differences between the most effective and least effective teachers of tenth grade intensive reading courses through teacher and principal/assistant principal surveys along with teacher evaluation data. This study revealed with regards to a teacher’s preparation to teach reading (research question one), that years of experience in the classroom and years of experience as a high school reading teacher were the only significant factors that influenced a teacher’s effectiveness. For research questions two and three; which had to do with the beliefs and professional practices of the teacher, the educationally relevant belief that the more effective teachers were more confident about their abilities than their less effective peers was noted. Research question four provided the data with regards to the general classroom teaching strategies and the adolescent reading strategies the effective teachers employed. This data revealed that the more effective teachers implemented posting and communicating daily and long term learning goals more frequently than their less effective peers. In addition, the general classroom teaching practices of efficient use of iii learning time, establishing and maintaining classroom routines, and checking for understanding proved to be educationally relevant. Additionally, the adolescent reading strategies of sustained silent reading, paired/partner readings, and students reading oneon-one with teacher, were educationally relevant as well. Finally, in regards to research question five, it was of statistical significance that administrators valued the use of the general classroom teaching strategy of posting and communicating daily and long term learning goals and were able to recognize the use of this strategy when observing and evaluating the teachers.

Este estudo é uma investigação sobre a relação entre as atividades de leitura praticadas durante o processo de alfabetização e a formação do leitor competente, para isso, inicialmente fez-se necessário considerar os aspectos de formação socioeconômica e cultural dos envolvidos, pertencentes a região colonizada por imigrantes italianos no Nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul, mais precisamente no município de Farroupilha. Em seguida, o mesmo objetivo levou-nos a resgatar a evolução dos métodos de alfabetização, para melhor entender as habilidades e competências de leitura desenvolvidas por esses métodos nas Séries Inicias. O corpus da pesquisa é formado por dados coletados através de diferentes instrumentos que permitiu a classificação de acordo com o meio comunitário, escolar e familiar de crianças em fase de alfabetização, para análise (das implicações causadas por esses meios na formação de habilidades e competências de leitura), numa abordagem sociointeracionista, segundo Vygotsky, Bakhtin, Freire e outros. Os resultados, após discutidos e analisados, nos levaram a identificar, apesar dos limites desta pesquisa um quadro preocupante em relação às práticas de leitura aplicadas as crianças em fase de alfabetização, o que tem resultado em dificuldades de compreensão do texto em diferentes níveis de escolaridade, ressaltando a necessidade de repensar ações integradas entre a comunidade, os pais e os educadores, em práticas reais, começando por uma alfabetização que vá além da decodificação, que considere a cultura do lugar e aquilo que realmente é significativo para o aprendiz. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-13T17:59:29Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Janete Fassini Alves.pdf: 992781 bytes, checksum: ca30b32efb2a05ad701ef31d1f2371ee (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-13T17:59:29Z (GMT).

In order to do it, firstly, was necessary to consider the economic and cultural development aspects of the engaged people in this study. They are from a region colonized by Italian immigrants in the northeast of Rio Grande do Sul, precisely in Farroupilha municipal district. After, the same target brought us to see again the evolution of teaching reading and writing approach, to better understand the reading skills and proficiency developed by these approaches in the Elementary Course. The corpus of this research is composed by data that were collected through different instruments, that allowed us to classify the social, familiar and school environment of children in the reading and writing process, to analyze (the implications caused by the environment in forming reading skills and proficiency) in a sociointeracionist approach, by Vygotsky, Bakhtin, Freire and others. The results, after discussed and analyzed, brought us to identify, despite of the this research limits, a worried table related to the reading activities applied to children in the reading and writing process. This had resulted in difficulties of text comprehension in different school grades, sticking out the necessity of thinking again the integrated actions between the community, parents and teachers, in real experiences, started by a reading and writing teaches that goes over of decode the signs, that consider the community culture and that is really significantly to the learners.
