A abordagem dos gêneros textuais pelo Gestar II e suas implicações para o ensino de língua portuguesa

Abstract

This study has as its general goal to investigate the effects of Didatic Transposition over the concept of textual genres, which operate themselves, since their elaboration in the field of the Languange Science, to the speech of scientific dissemination, put under circulation by a knowing program of continued education for the teachers, The GESTAR II, and, finally, to the knowledge effectively tought by teachers in their Portuguese classes. Our investigation was guided over two questions: a) What are the knowledges of refference about textual genres moved by GESTAR II? b) How do the graduated teachers in this program reformulate, mobilise and transpose this knowledge of textual genres in their reading or textual production classes? This research, which fits on the interpreting paradigm, finds its methodology bases on Applied Linguistics and, as it is, uses, naturally, studies of different areas to answer to the posed questions. This way, provide us as a key rationale the Didatic Transposition theory, as elaborated by Chevallard (1991) and other studies related to it (BRONCKART; GIGER, 1998; PETITJEAN, 1998; RAFAEL, 2001a). It is used , still, studies which helps us to evidence the theoretical notion of textual genre (BAKHTIN, 1979; 2003; MARCUSCHI, 2008; DOLZ; SCHNEUWLY, 2004) and to others which tell about the didactic treatment of the genre, when taken as a teaching object (BARBOSA, 2000; ROJO, 2000; 2001; 2004; BEZERRA, 2002; BUNZEN, 2004; 2006). In general, our studies allowed us to conclude that the notion of textual genre presented on the materials from GESTAR II has as a principal reference Bakhtin's theory, however the presented concept is a result of many reformulations which characterize the speech. Talking about the knowledges mobilised through the teachers in their classes, even keeping the relation with the benchmarks knowledges and with the knowledges released in the materials of the course of continued education GESTAR II, constitute a new knowledge, tagged by the goals of its new production context, the Didactic System.
