O papel do uso dos materiais didáticos na alfabetização e letramento numa escola do município de Sorocaba

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how literacy teachers from the Municipal Education of Sorocaba use textbooks in their daily practice, focusing on one school in the city, considering the materials distributed by the Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (National Textbook Program) from the Federal Government, as well as the material connected to the São Paulo Curriculum. The research is justified by the importance of the textbooks as a teaching resource, for its relation to curriculum implementation and by the need to understand how teachers’ choices influence their literacy practice. To support the study, document analysis and semi-structured interviews were carried out with literacy teachers from the Municipal Schools of Sorocaba. The goal is to identify how these materials are used, what contributions they offer and their limits, based on teachers’ perspectives and researchers in the literacy field, like Magda Soares and Emilia Ferreiro. The expected results intend to highlight the teacher’s role as a mediator between the textbooks and the literacy process, reflecting on the teaching practices and valuing teachers’ experiences in schools.
