Alfabetização e letramento nos projetos pedagógicos dos cursos de Pedagogia presencial dos campi da Universidade Federal da Paraíba

Abstract

Alphabetization and literacy are fundamental processes for the educational and social development of all individuals, especially in the early years of Elementary School. It is during this period that the foundation is established for the formation of critical readers and writers capable of interacting with different language practices in school and social contexts. Therefore, for effective pedagogical practices in alphabetization and literacy to be implemented, it is essential that the initial training of teachers offers adequate theoretical and methodological depth. In this sense, the Pedagogical Course Projects (PPCs) of Pedagogy programs play a central role in the construction of this knowledge, as they organize the curriculum in general and the formative contents adopted in the course. From this perspective, the main objective of this work is to analyze whether the PPCs of the in-person pedagogy courses at the UFPB campuses (João Pessoa, Bananeiras, and Mamanguape) address the theoretical and practical concepts of Alphabetization and Literacy. This monograph followed a qualitative methodological path, through documentary research and content analysis. Finally, from the analyses, it was possible to conclude that, of the three campuses investigated, the Mamanguape and Bananeiras campuses, whose versions are more current and recent, feature exclusive disciplines to address alphabetization and literacy, both practically and conceptually. Meanwhile, the João Pessoa campus, whose current version is more than two decades old, addresses such concepts and practices in a transversal and non-explicit manner, which can affect the training of future pedagogy teachers. In this sense, although the curricula present these concepts, it is necessary, in a Pedagogy program, for there to be specific disciplines on alphabetization and literacy in the curriculum to ensure adequate initial teacher training.
