PROCESSO DE PRODUÇÃO DA PRÁTICA PEDAGÓGICA DE PROFESSORAS ALFABETIZADORAS INICIANTES

Abstract

This study, linked to the Teaching and Learning Research Line of the State University of Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brazil, had as its object the process of production of the pedagogical practice of the beginner literacy teachers. From the conflicts and challenges produced in the pedagogical practice of the beginner literacy teachers, the following problem question was originated: How does the process of production of the pedagogical practice of beginner literacy teachers take place? Concomitantly with the main question, the general objective was formulated: To unveil the process of production of the pedagogical practice of the beginner literacy teachers, in order to contribute to their education process. As specific objectives, it was defined: to describe the pedagogical practices of the beginner literacy teachers; to examine the pedagogical practices of the beginner literacy teachers in order to show how they are produced. Regarding the concepts and challenges of the early career, this research was reported in the studies of Huberman (1995) and Vaillant and Marcelo (2012). Pérez (2008), Mortatti (2006) and Soares, M. (2003, 2014) helped with specific conceptions and reflections on literacy. The theoretical framework is also based on the understanding of theory as an expression of practice with Martins (1996) and Freire (1979, 1996, 2011), in order to analyze the pedagogical practice in the problematizing perspective. The research was developed in a qualitative perspective, whose data were obtained through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The investigation was carried out in 40 schools of the Municipal Teaching Network of Ponta Grossa, whose subjects were 17 beginner literacy teachers who worked in the first grade of the schools of the Municipal Teaching Network. To analyze the data, the Content Analysis of Bardin (2011) was used, which contributed to the analysis and treatment of the data. The results identified that the beginner pedagogical practice is constituted both by external and internal determinants. The beginner literacy teachers also revealed that literacy practice is surrounded by challenges in relation to the choice of methods, insecurity, and organization of the classroom routines. The teachers, in addition to seek colleagues and continuing education to assist in their literacy practice, use strategies to aid in planning and practice, such as access to the internet, search for blogs and educational websites. It is shown that teachers reflect on their literacy practice when they perceive that they feel dissatisfied or satisfied with their beginner practice.
