Literatura infantil: concepções e práticas no ensino fundamental anos iniciais

Abstract

This paper, entitled "Children's Literature: conceptions and practices in the initial years of elementar school", aims to investigate how teachers of the initial years of elementary school understand children's literature. The theoretical basis of the work was Coelho (2000), Cavalcanti (2002), Costa (2013), Colomer (2017), among others. The field research was made with four elementary school teachers from a municipal school in the city of Campina Grande - Paraíba, through a questionnaire with ten open questions. From their perception, it was revealed an understanding on children’s literature which goes through an utilitary vision, when the literary text is used as a pretext to teach subjects. Although there is a playful vision, it has appeared in a timid form. The comprehension of literature as delight, almost is not considered in the answers of the teachers, when the child reads the book simply for the pleasure of reading.
