O guaraná de maués e as narrativas orais no ensino de língua portuguesa

Abstract

This research is located in the area of Portuguese Language teaching in an interdisciplinary perspective. Researchers in the area of Portuguese language teaching in Brazil state that the school has been limited to the teaching of grammar and specifically to the teaching of grammar as a single modality of the Portuguese Language. Like this, today, one of the biggest obstacles observed in the classroom in the first year classes of the Amazon Federal Institute, Campus Maués is related to reading and writing. In the present study we discuss the learning process in Portuguese Language through an interdisciplinary teaching project that had as participants the first year students of the Agriculture and Livestock Course of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Amazon - IFAM / Campus Maués. The city of Maués has an authentic vocation with guaraná (Paullinia cupana), an important product both from the economic and cultural point of view. The cultivation of the guaraná plant goes back to the time of the native natives - the Mawe - to the present day. The fruit is associated with energy, aphrodisiac, medicinal and cultural values, marked mainly by a wealth of oral narratives. We believe that by bringing such narratives into the classroom we will promote multiple possibilities of entry from the outside world into this teaching space. In the same way, these questions can be externalized in a differentiated way, articulating with other concepts and disciplines. Thus, the objective of this work was to analyze the learning process in Portuguese Language comparing the verbal manifestations of students before and after an educational experience that works narrative genres with the mediation of dominant theme in the economic, social and cultural context of where they reside The students - "Maués's guaraná". The methodology that led to our research was qualitative, the sample consisted of texts produced in the category of short stories and poetry, through an Interdisciplinary workshop. In addition, we used, as a data collection tool, questionnaires at the beginning and at the end. Thus, in addition to the texts analyzed, the verbal manifestations of those involved in this research, evidenced that, knowledge is not watertight and articulate, and bring elements of everyday life into the classroom, the more motivated they will be to build new knowledge. Therefore, our pedagogical practice, in the light of textual linguistics and interdisciplinarity, has contributed significantly to the learning of the Portuguese language.
