Análise do currículo do Estado de Pernambuco quanto a presença e abordagem dos gêneros textuais

Abstract

This work investigated how textual genres are being treated in the Pernambuco Curriculum in relation to the Early Years of Elementary Education. To better develop the research, we adopted a curriculum concept as a cultural artifact where there is a dialogue between socially constructed knowledge and school knowledge (SILVA, 2007; MOREIRA; CANDAU, 2007). Likewise, we take as a base, a conception of language and language based on the notion of textual genres as human interaction and cultural and cognitive form of social action (BAKHTIN, 1997; SOARES, 2002; GERALDI, 2011; MARCUSCHI, 2008). The research has a documentary character, as it analyzed a document officially recognized by the State with the aim of showing the information contained in it in another way and enabling access to the maximum amount of information qualitatively (BARDIN, 1977). The Language Notebook was analyzed, more specifically the part referring to the Portuguese Language Curricular Component. Through the data obtained, we found, initially, that the document brings a more current perspective of the curriculum which perceives it as a cultural element capable of articulating the proposed with the lived and that goes beyond the prescribed. Then, we note that the document is in line with the most current studies on the teaching of the Portuguese language, based on reference authors, although some terms are not properly developed. We also identified that the Curriculum encourages work with genders from the four axes of teaching the Portuguese Language - Reading, Text Production, Orality and Linguistic Analysis - although it does not guide the articulation between these axes. In addition, it directs the teacher to work with the diversity of textual genres belonging to different fields of action, giving suggestions of genres to be worked on and following a progression from the 1st to the 5th year. We saw, finally, that the document addresses so many social aspects, as formal and linguistic of the genres, observing a slight emphasis on the identification and reproduction of the forms of composition of the genres. Given these data, we conclude that the Pernambuco Curriculum assists in the appropriation of different genres, but the teacher must have a posture of professor-researcher and investigate the document critically and reflexively in his readings, not having it as a principle of his practice, but as one of the means that guides the didactic paths of your classes.
