Letramento escolar e letramento social: convergências ou divergências no contexto escolar?

Abstract

The current studies on the Portuguese Language provoked and provoke several discussions about the teaching of this discipline and among them the ones that turn to the thematic one about the literatures stand out. In this theme there is also a discussion about the relationship that must occur between school literacy and social literacy. The conceptualization of school literacy and social literacy derives from the understanding that the actions and functions of reading and writing vary according to the context in which the reading and writing practices occur. Based on this perspective of literacy study, we propose to carry out a study to know if there was a relationship between the school literacy practices and the social literacy practices of a school community, including students, teachers, parents of students and other members of this context. We sought to identify what events and practices of reading and writing were carried out by them, inside and outside the walls of the school and what conceptions they had about the social function of the school. The theoretical basis was constituted by readings made in: SOARES (2004,2008), ROJO (2009), TFOUNI (2010), KLEIMAN (2008, 2010), STREET (2014), TERRA (2013), PARÂMETROS CURRICULARES NACIONAIS (PCN, 1997), PARÂMETROS CURRICULARES DO ESTADO DE PERNAMBUCO (2014), YOUNG (2007). We characterized our research as field with a qualitative approach (MARCONI;LAKATOS,2011,p.69). This study has brought us the certainty that reading and writing practices are context-specific and that the requirement for convergence between these practices, especially as regards the anchoring of these practices, is far from being realized.
