Produzir textos nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental por meio do lúdico: algumas contribuições

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to understand how the playfulness can contribute to the textual production of students in the Early Years of Elementary School. For the specific objectives we seek: to analyze the conception of playfulness developed / employed by a teacher of the Initial Years of Elementary Education; to identify how an Early Years teacher organizes her pedagogical work using playfulness and the production of text; identify and analyze the reactions of elementary school students to the use of playfulness in text production activities; and to propose activities of text production that can be developed with students of the Initial Years of Elementary Education employing playfulness. As a research methodology, the qualitative method was prioritized, making use of the tools of participant observation, documentary analysis, semi-structured interview and conversation circle. The research was performed with a group of the 4th year and its respective teacher. The choice of the participants, as well as the locus of the research, is due to our intervention in the Supervised Internship of Elementary School. We seek theoretical support in Luckesi (1998, 2000, 2002, 2014), Massa (2015), Santos (1997), Almeida (2003), Huizinga (2007), among others, to substantiate the part dealing with the concepts on Ludic and playful education. We support, too, in Koch's studies (2012), Geraldi (2002), as well as official documents, such as PCN (1997) Portuguese Language and BNCC (2017), among others, to support the part that versa on textual production. We found that the classroom teacher showed a limited conception of playfulness and his pedagogical work did not contemplate in a systematic way and directed to the textual production and the use of the ludic. Through the classroom interventions, which were given in the form of workshops, we verified the positive reactions of the students and, through this experience, we present a possible way to work with the textual production involving playfulness in the Initial Years of Elementary Education. Therefore, recognizing the importance of play education, it is necessary that teachers include playfulness in the practice of teaching in a general way, and in production of text, in particular.
