O texto e o seu potencial através do agir comunicativo em Habermas

Abstract

This research investigated the ability of understanding, interpretation of textual and argumentative students from the School Integrated Farming Technician Course Campus-Barreiros-IFPE, through a innovator program of Portuguese language teach Focused on the teaching of Portuguese, based in the text, directed to the dialogue verbatim. Assuming that the teaching of Portuguese language is still centered on grammaticalization, we feel the need to develop pedagogical practices that give this teaching through dialogic and interactive activities, the role of training professionals able to discuss, understand and interpret society in which it is inserted. Aimed to contribute to improving the quality of the teaching of Portuguese Language and to resolve technical rationality – which is supported by the traditional teaching and practice of claiming a guided education in communicative action – inspired by the ideas of Habermas´s theory, from an experience teaching/learning innovation. We review the literature that came to corroborate the thesis that the teaching of Portuguese language is still marked out in a traditional pedagogy, forming young people with low level of understanding and reasoning. Subsidized this research the theoretical framework of Habermas (The communicative action), Geraldi, Orlandi, Zilberman, Marcuschi, and others who argue the research object. To answer our concerns and guide the development work on the difficulties that students have in relation to reading comprehension, we chosen an approach based formulations in Habermas, but also a qualitative approach. The survey was conducted with a group of thirty-seven students from third grade, "D" of the Technical Course Integrated Farming Campus-Barreiros-IFPE in the period from May to October 2010, carried out activities to read five texts, selected by the researcher, to the exercise of democratic dialogue, every practice reading and interpreting the work consequently the oral arguments. For data collection, made twenty-meeting classes, we use the MP3, to record the responses of all students, and later made the transcripts to analyze the data. The results were discussed in light of Habermas' theory of communicative action and also in line with the conception of Geraldi on text in the classroom. In discussing the results, we realized that the dialogical approach involving teachers and students, collaborated, undoubtedly, to the personal and intellectual growth of each participant, once in the student dialogical work exposes his ideas, he is not just enunciating spectator, all interactants are, where they build and are built, modify and are modified. Despite being a method of teaching for interactionism, there were participants who acted timidly, or failed to participate in some language difficulties and other difficulties of interaction, or socialization. This result demonstrated the need for continuity of practices like these and / or others that encourage students to think, speak, hear and be heard.
