Livro didático de língua portuguesa: estratégias para a escolha e o uso no processo de ensino-aprendizagem

Abstract

The textbook is an extremely present material in Brazilian schools, but its use requires creative strategies from the teacher to circumvent the obstacles that may arise. Considering this, this study aimed to analyze the pedagogical practice of a teacher from the early years of an elementary school in the face of the use of the Portuguese language textbook in a school in the municipal network of Recife / PE. Some of the steps that were taken were to identify the process of choosing the textbook for the observed teacher, as well as to detect the strategies for using that book during class and its results in the students' teaching-learning process. For this purpose, in this case study the semi-structured interview was used as a method for data collection, followed by the study of the data guided by the content analysis of Bardin (2016) and the theoretical research on the theme (SUASSUNA, 2000; OLIVEIRA, 2014). From this investigation, one can perceive the importance of this didactic material for teaching practice, but its use should not inhibit their autonomy in the classroom. Finally, through the whole study, it was possible to confirm the importance of the presence of the textbook for teaching practices, but that there is also relevance in teaching autonomy both during the choice of material and in the course of its use.
