Temas geradores no processo de alfabetização e letramento de crianças do 5º ano

Abstract

The present work has as general goal to investigate which are the contributions of generator themes in the alphabetizing and literacy process of children of the 5th year of a public school at Marabá-PA. And specific goals: observing if the schooling management supports the alphabetizing and literacy process and analyzing which generators themes are able to be used by pupils of 5th year of elementary school. Alphabetizing goes beyond of merely applying contents in the class, furthermore, methodological strategies are necessary for its effectiveness. In this regard, the work approaches the generator themes developed by Paulo Freire, which are transformative methods in the alphabetizing process. To the accomplishment of this research, a public elementary school for 1th to 5th grade has been chosen, located at São Felix Center in the city of Marabá-PA, which is attended by students of low income class. The methodological approach is qualitative and the research technique is the research-action, because of its participative character, for its further interaction between researcher and representative members of the situation investigated. It has been verified that generator themes can be used in the education of students of the 5th year, so that they may support the teaching-learning process of students –, providing more criticism, favoring their autonomy – and that this unique methodological proposal can be even more applied and contribute to the construction of a quality education.
