Pra que(m) eu escrevo?” a escrita em eventos de letramento com gêneros autobiográficos na educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

In an increasingly heterogeneous school context, it is fundamental to rethink the way students use reading and writing, from the appropriation of the genres explored in the classroom. The present work aims to report and analyze the implementation of literacy events that involve the writing of autobiographical genres, in the Education of Young and Adults. The analysis focuses on both the strategies of engagement in the proposed activities and the appropriation of the autobiography genre which was taken up through some activities developed in a sequential way with the aim of developing and analyzing, through the production of autobiographies, the way students have appropriated the genre cited. For this, the theoretical reference is based on the assumptions about writing in the classroom (MATÊNCIO, 1994; ANTUNES, 2003, GERALDI, 2006);on studies on literacy practices (STREET, 2014; KLEIMAN, 1995; ROJO, 2009) which give preponderance to the social and cultural aspects of language use; in the appropriation of the autobiographical genre (ALVARES, 2010, SIMÕES, 2012, SOBRAL, 2009); and finally, in the legal and pedagogical aspects related to Youth and Adult Education (FREIRE, 2011; MOLLICA & LEAL, 2009; BENVENUTTI, 2011). The methodology consists of an action research (Dionne, 2007; Thiollent, 2011; Zeichner, 2011) as a way of planning, developing and rethinking the literacy events that were part of the didactic proposal. The planning involved the elaboration of a pedagogical product that was developed in the classroom, in which systematic recordings were made in video, audio and a reflective diary. Based on the data generated and the students' production, it was possible to conclude, in relation to the engagement, that all pedagogical practices that start from well-defined and interactive strategies make it possible to involve students in the activities listed, and, in relation to the appropriation, that the contact and the analysis of the genre are fundamental for a production that demarcates the appropriation of the exploited genre and mainly, that the students feel authors of their productions and that the writing is not seen only as mere school activity.
