AQUISIÇÃO DA LEITURA NO PROCESSO DE ALFABETIZAÇÃO CONTRIBUIÇÕES DO ENSINO DESENVOLVIMENTAL COM FOCO NO MOTIVO DA APRENDIZAGEM

Abstract

The subject of non acquisition of reading and writing is a recurring and significant problem in the Brazilian public school and requests more investigation. The focus of the research was the situation of non reading acquisition by children in literacy process. It is related to children that don't present any kind of alteration or jeopardize of organic nature or special educational needs and, however they don't acquire reading during the literacy process, although they learn how to "draw the letters". These children are found in groups where most of them achieve literacy. The theory of the developmental teaching establishes that, to enter in real learning activity, it is necessary the presence of an appropriate reason (motive) to this activity. Based in this and in other assumptions of this theory, it was formulated the following research subjects: How does teaching of reading process happen at school? What events contribute to keep students without acquisition of the reading process? How is non acquisition of reading related to the student's motive in learning activity? How can the teacher interfere to change the child's motive in order to result in learning of reading and writing process? Would an organization of teaching with focus in the motive promote the acquisition of reading for those students? What would be the result of a reading learning process by developmental teaching with emphasis in the student's motives? A bibliographical revision was made and it didn't point any study under the theoretical focus approach proposed in that research, that is, under the theory of the developmental teaching. Therefore, the general objective of the research was to investigate how the teacher can interfere in the student's motive to learn to read during the literacy process at school. The specific objectives were: - to describe the process of teaching of reading and writing in the school; - to analyze the teacher's actions in relation to the non readers students; - to analyze how can the acquisition of reading process be influenced by the organized teaching, based in the theory of the developmental teaching and with focus in the student's motive. The research was accomplished at a municipal school of Rio Verde (GO) city, having a qualitative approach, under historical-cultural focus, being characterized as formative didactic experiment, based on the theory of the developmental teaching of Davydov. The instruments of data collection were direct non participating observation, semistructured interviews and documental analysis. The subjects were the teacher and the students of a literacy group and, in elapsing of the research, the focus of the formative didactic experiment relapsed on a student that kept in a not learning situation. The main results of the research appear to be that developmental teaching has promoted the acquisition of reading process by the child which has failed the literacy both in regular group as in a special group.
