A compreensão de texto na coleção português linguagens – ensino médio (1994-2013): evolução histórica e perspectivas atuais em debate

Abstract

This work has as general objective to investigate which historical transmutations occurred in the treatment given to the reading axis in the Portuguese Collection Languages - Middle Teaching (1994-2013), authored by William Roberto Cereja and Thereza Cochar Magalhães. As specific objectives, we intend to: (I) Know the conception of language and reading imbricated in the constitution of this collection; (II) Know the treatment given to reading activities and textual comprehension; (III) Know the treatment given to discursive genres (written and multimodal). For accomplish this work, we resort to documentary research, having as corpus of analysis six didatic books that compose the two versions of the Portuguese Collection Languages - Middle Teaching. The results demonstrate that the two versions of the Portuguese Collection Languages - Middle Teaching potentiate Differentiated treatments to the approach of the axis reading. This materializes not only opposing treatments given to reading activities and textual comprehension, as well as distinct spaces given to this linguistic ability. The first collection is based on the conception of language as instrument of communication, materializing a notion of reading as decodingchanneled to foment didactic activities with focus in the recognition/location and replies of information scattered in the surface of texts of the literary sphere. The second collection is based on the conception of language as form of social interaction, materializing a notion of reading as attribution/production of meaning. That foments the potentialization of didactic activities with focus in the exploration of previous knowledge of the student, as well as in the formulation of hypotheses, inferences and other cognitive practices. In this sense, the Portuguese Collection Languages - Middle Teaching passed for a substantive transmutation in its structural architecture coming from the expansion of the contingent of discourse genres. Same aware that the quantitative of discursive genres could be broader, the collection brings differentiated discourse genres present in everyday routines. That contributes substantively, in favor of formation a competent user with respect to reading and producing text.
