SABERES DA TERRA E SABORES LITERÁRIOS: RECONHECIMENTO E ENCANTAMENTO CULTURAL POR MEIO DE OFICINAS DE LETRAMENTO
Literacy workshops. Literacy agents. Didactic devices.
The object of this research is the construction of a student who is an investigator and researcher of culture, who is able to articulate community and school knowledge in their critical and reflective education. This study is mainly justified by the distance between pedagogical practices and the real world of students. The general aim of the research is to understand the potential of literacy projects and workshops seen as didactic devices capable of promoting the articulation of school knowledge with community knowledge and the collaborative participation of literacy agents in the construction of knowledge. The specific objectives are to analyze whether and how literacy projects and workshops can foster the articulation between school knowledge and community knowledge and the collaborative participation of literacy agents in the construction of knowledge; point out and describe literacy resources and artifacts that enable students and other literacy agents to engage in school practices, mobilize their knowledge and skills and value their condition as protagonist, active and critical learners; to argue in favour of literacy projects and workshops as didactic devices that offer the potential to promote the construction of a young researcher interested in recognizing and valuing local culture inside and outside the school walls. Theoretically, this research is based on the theoretical constructs derived from literacy studies (STREET, 1984; BAYNHAM, 1995; KLEIMAN, 1995; 2000; OLIVEIRA; KLEIMAN, 2008); the concept of multilearning (ROJO, 2009), the guidelines of critical pedagogy (FREIRE, 1989; MCLAREN, 1997), the notions of epistemic curiosity (OLIVEIRA, 2021) student researcher (THOMPSOM; GUNTER, 2007; DEMO, 1996;2002), local literacy (BARTON, 1998), studies on literacy projects (KLEIMAN; OLIVEIRA; TINOCO; SANTOS, 2014; OLIVEIRA, 2016) and the theory of the ecology of human development (BRONFENBRENNER, 1996). Methodologically, the research follows the qualitative-interpretative model (MOITA LOPES, 1994; ERICKSON, 1990) with an ethnographic bias (ANDRÉ, 2005; KLEIMAN, 1998). The data was generated through interviews, field notes and literacy workshops.
