Atividades de leitura em dois momentos históricos: a coleção brincando com as palavras (1985 e 2018)

Abstract

This master thesis is part of the research line History, Memory, and Society of the Graduate Program in Education at the School of Education, Federal University of Grande Dourados. Through the analysis of the “Brincando com as Palavras” collection, it seeks to understand reading activities in Elementary Education at two historical moments: 1985 and 2018. The general objective of the research is to analyze the theoretical and legal bases of the proposed reading activities during the validity of Law No. 5.692, enacted in 1971, and the latest version of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), instituted in 2017. Considering the specific objectives, it aims to analyze the proposed reading activities contained in the editions of the “Brincando com as Palavras” collection that were published in those years. The choice of these sources is justified by their presence at times of expansion of basic schooling, progress in the democratization process of society, and distribution of didactic material to students. The collection contributed to the expansion of reading habits through textbooks, the resumption of the right of teachers to choose didactic material, and changes in the Portuguese Language subject for the early grades of elementary school. For the methodological development of the research, documentary analysis is adopted, and bibliographic research is conducted in scientific articles, theses, dissertations, books, and printed and electronic materials. It was a bibliographic and documentary research, guided analytically by productions inscribed in the field of the History of Education. Through the analysis, it is perceived that the treatment of reading activities is distinct between the collections. During the implementation of Law No. 5.692/1971, there was a more limited focus, while the BNCC adopts a more comprehensive approach. It is inferred that these two historical milestones in education directly impacted the development of textbooks, specifically in the content involving reading activities in the collection. Therefore, it is found through the research that not all theoretical and legal bases proposed by these two historical milestones were implemented in the 1985 and 2018 editions of the “Brincando com as Palavras” collection.
