A formação continuada e suas implicações no trabalho com os gêneros discursivos: um estudo de caso com docentes dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental.

Abstract

The process of continuing education offered to teachers working in elementary education has been characterized as a tool for improving the quality of teaching, since, in addition to promoting the improvement of teaching practices developed by teachers, is also configured as a form of diffusion the questions presented in the official documents that guide the teaching. Starting for this premise and considering our studies related to language, some relevant questions are: how this process is theoretically and methodologically subsidizing teachers of early years of elementary school, as the theory that currently underlies the teaching of Portuguese language, namely the proposed work to the teaching of mother tongue in a perspective that takes the discursive genres as the object of education? And if this is happening, how the teacher is playing this proposal and articulating it in Portuguese Language classes? Given this concerns, we aim to develop this study, an investigation into the process of continuing education involving teachers in the early years of elementary school, verifying that the theoretical and methodological offered to these teachers in the process, have enable them to recognize discursive genres as an object of teaching and the text as a unit learning, in the development of its practices in the classroom, in Portuguese Language subject. To meet this purpose we used as the theoretical works of AMOP (2007), Bakhtin (2000; 2004), Bazerman (2006; 2011), Bronckart (2003), Costa-Hübes (2008), Dolz, Noverraz e Schneuwly (2004), Duarte (2001; 2010), Koch (1992, 2003), Marx (1992), Rodrigues (2001; 2004; 2005; 2009), Rojo (2005), Saviani (1984, 2003, 2007) and Vygotsky (1991; 2001) among other works about the subject of research, and André (1995), Erickson (1989, 2001), Flick (2009), Gil (2010), Marconi e Lakatos (2010) and Yin (2001) to organize the course methodology. This course is guided in the dialectical method of research and uses a qualitative and interpretativsta approach, requiring, at times, quantitative sources. The inclusion of research in Applied Linguistics is confirmed by the ethnographic case study, conducted in the school environment, with the intention of investigating the role of the teacher-mediated process of continuing education. From this research design, we analyzes the implications of continuing education in the performance of some teachers in the classroom, and found as a result, some gaps in the training process, especially given the lack of continuity in training initiatives and for some difficulties presented by teacher in theoretical and methodological approaches set out in this process.
