A progressão dos gêneros da ordem do argumentar no livro didático de língua portuguesa

Abstract

The present work is a study about the progression of argumentative genres located in the most used primary and secondary school Portuguese textbook collections in the municipality of Garanhuns-PE (one from elementary school, final years, another fom high school), starting from the idea that the textbook is a tool of importance in teaching and learning. We use, as a theoretical contribution, the concepts of grouping and progression of genres proposed by Dolz & Schnewuly (2004); and the concept of textual genrer proposed by Marcuschi (2001) and the considerations on the teaching of argumentation proposed by Ribeiro (2009). To do so, the project consisted in a documentary research, whose objectives are to identify the argumentative genres in the collections, to point out the articulated axes in the course of the work with these genres, to verify the progression between the levels of education of these genres and to indicate the possible effects of these collections on developing the students' ability to reason. Our methodology is based on a documentary research (LÜDKE & ANDRÉ, 2012), since we perform a general mapping of the genres present in both collections, trying to identify the grouping and observe the progression of the argumentative genres. The results found here showed, about to progression, that the genre opinion article and the genre of school writing are the genres that remain frequent in all volumes of the collections, the first in the Elementary School collection and the last in the High School collection.
