REPRESENTAÇÕES DISCURSIVAS DA ATIVIDADE DO PROFESSOR DE LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA: UMA ABORDAGEM DIALÓGICA

Abstract

This work aims to analyze how elementary school Portuguese Language (PL) teachers of Pelotas municipal network represent discursively their activity work, regarding the current moment, through linguistic theories and the PCN (National Curricular Parameters), for a integrated language teaching. As for specific objectives are concerned, they are: (a) to investigate, through discourse, how the researched PL teachers organize and develop the mother language work in the subject week schedule, identifying their teaching approaches and (b) verifying clues of the debate between antecedent norms and the renormalizations in the participant teachers activity, observing meaning effects which emerge from the teachers discourse. Therefore, two interlocution approaches were elected as theoretical basis: one is to deal with the language conception and assist in the analyzes (discourse dialogical theory: Bakhtin 1929/1997, 1952-1953/2003; Bakhtin/Volochinov,1929/2003) and another to deal with the teaching approach as work (ergological approach and teaching work studies: Schwartz, 2002, 2006, 2007; Faïta, 2005; Amigues, 2004). Moreover, some influences that the language dialogical conception implies in teaching/learning are emphasized, as well as influences on the conception of the academic research. As of the elected theory perspective, a particular methodology was developed, which contemplated speeches with 3 teachers of the municipal network, with audio recorded interviews that constituted the material for analysis. The interviews analysis were organized on each teacher individually, focusing on the interdependency between the following topics: (a) the professional activity discourse representation of the teachers and (b) the debate between the antecedent norms and the renormalizations. Bakhtin notions of propositions/ enunciations, dialogism/dialogue, interaction, word, accent of value/appreciative and discursive voice subsidized the accomplished analysis. The concepts proposed by the ergological approach which assisted in this way were antecedent norm and renormalization . The present study, from the interaction dynamics, found that, among other specific reflections of each researched teacher, the PL teaching practice discursived in the interviews seem to start from the text as the work focus with the students
