The aim of this study is to examine the senses attributed to reading in High School, by teachers in the subject areas of Portuguese Language, History and Chemistry, during the period the research was carried out in a state school of the ABC region. The verification that although High School guidelines emphasize the importance of reading in an interdisciplinary perspective, it was observed, on the one hand, the lack of use of the school locus (originally designed for teacher education, such as HTPC) as a locus for the effective discussion on the issues related to reading theory. On the other hand, it was observed the recurrence of the poor results of a external evaluation exam (for instance., the Evaluation System for the Schools of the State of São Paulo - SARESP- and the High School National Exam - ENEM). This context, as teacher, originated the discussions herein. Thus, this study analyses the political aspects which organize the educational system and how teachers education and their classroom work occur. This discussion is based on the Socio-Historical-Cultural Activity Theory (TASHC) with emphasis on the Vygotskian concepts of mediation, quotidian concepts and scientific concepts , ZPD, sense and meaning; Leontiev s Activity Theory about the concept of object (motive) of the activity and Engeström about the concepts of community, rules, division of labour and historicity; as well as in the Bakhtin s concept of language about concepts of discourse genres, dialogism e polyphony that considers language as a socio-historical tool for interaction, betting on the enunciative reading as tool for the construction of a participative citizenship. The education process of the reflective teacher based on critical reflection (Freire, 1978; Smyth, 1992; Kemmis, 1987) was dealt with from the methodology of Critical Colaborative Research PCCol, discussed by Magalhães (2004,2008) and Liberali (2002,2004). The analysed data show that this research made a ZPD that contributed to the criticalreflexive teacher s development process in building the object reading possible |
