O seminário na sala de aula: teoria, análise e intervenção

Abstract

Currently, the presence of genders in the classroom is very important, since work based on the different aspects of these socio-discursive entities contributes to the development of students' discursive competence. In this context, oral genres are very important, since through them the student has the opportunity to explore formal and informal orality both inside and outside the classroom. Among the oral genres, we highlight the seminar, a genre widely used in various spheres of human activity. Considering the relevance of this gender to the academic and social life of the student, this research sought to provide the students of the 9th year of primary education with the development of specific skills for the appropriation, mastery and effective social use of the oral gender seminar. For that, an action research was carried out with the development of a didactic proposal, which was applied in Portuguese Language classes. In this proposal, the students were the protagonists of the production of knowledge, because they had the opportunity to show other classes of the 9th grade of the school how to produce a seminar. The teacher, in turn, was the mediator of this production of knowledge, performing a previous work with two other oral genres: the debate and the interview. The results obtained with the application of the didactic proposal allow to affirm that the research reached its objective that the students in general learned how to prepare and produce orally a seminar and that the teacher had another option of how to teach this oral genre in Elementary School.
