Leitura e formação docente: contribuições da prática de leitura para a formação do profissional de letras

Abstract

The practice of reading in Mother Language in higher education in a graduating class of Letters Course in a public university in the state of Maranhão is the main focus of this research. We aim with this study, (re)build and reframe the concept of reading through remembering and literacy experiences and objectified reading practice in narratives or memorials of personal experience reading. The epistemological base that anchors this study is the conception of language, reading concepts, reading strategies, literacy and reading memorial. This research is configured as an interpretative qualitative approach, covering aspects of research action. For this study, we use tools such as: stories, where each participant should tell his/her reading journey from the first contacts with the writing until the present time, asacademics ofletters . Besides that instrument we also used semi-structured interviews, diary notes, recording audio and video. The data generated re-vealed that in the childhood the teacher mother is the main mediator of remembered read-ing; in primary and secondary education there is an absence of mention; teachers of these levels, practically were not reminded as mediators; already in higher education, teachers, especially literature ones, have been mentioned as mediators well present. As for the de-sign of reading in this category constitute various sub-categories, where the most remem-bered was that characterized by readingas the meaning of reading books. Similar to this is readingmeaning having pleasure, to like it, to have passion, to dream and also to have love and these conceptions were also mentioned for several times.As a result, we had other indications where reading is to read literature (l). Thus, we find that the design they have, mostly, is a key concept of reading. We emphasize that this study reading reframing oc-curs, but it is the expansion of meaning, to be for life as a whole and also in the sense of expanding the reading of literary texts. So it is in this context that we completed our work and we believe actually read critically, taking into account the various situations of life, is something indispensable.
