Desenhos dos livros didáticos de Língua Portuguesa: uma análise voltada ao processo da alfabetização e letramento

Abstract

The general objective of this dissertation work is to analyze the contributions of the designs of Portuguese language textbooks for the first year of elementary school to the process of teaching and learning literacy, that is, the acquisition of reading and writing. The Portuguese Language textbook for the first year of Elementary School has drawings with verbal and non- verbal language that can contribute to the process of teaching and learning children's literacy skills, since when the child starts studying, they have prior knowledge of meanings. of objects and places. The process of teaching and learning with drawings has social relevance, as it allows a direct mechanism to be activated in the learning of words, linking the drawing to the letters and even to their syllables and sounds. Therefore, in this research, we analyzed illustrations in Portuguese language textbooks for the first year of elementary school adopted by the municipalities of Ipecaetá-Ba and Anguera-Ba to verify the contributions of the illustrations present in these books to the process of teaching and learning literacy. . To this end, this bibliographic and qualitative research achieved results through the theoretical foundation of authors who deal with the concept and function of literacy; that address theoretical concepts of drawing and their importance in the child's cognition process; that bring studies on the child's cognition process for the acquisition of reading and writing and that deal with concepts and purposes of illustrations in textbooks and the relationship between the child's prior knowledge and the illustrations in these books. The results obtained point to advantages and disadvantages regarding the contributions of illustrations in Portuguese language textbooks for the first year of elementary school to the acquisition of reading and writing.
