Literacies, textual genres and Brazil Assessment: what kind of development is it possible?

ABSTRACT

This article aims to reflect on the treatment given to the texts of "Prova Brasil" test and the consequences that such treatment may generate in the literacy development of students and teachers. For this reflection, we take the analysis of textual genres used in the simulated test, released by the federal government, and we departed from the theoretical background of Sociodiscursive Interactionism (ISD), with the convergence of the discursive studies to substantiate the analysis of texts . This work is part of the research development that is inside the Observatory of Education Project/ CAPES 2010, with the title: "School-university partnership: multiple perspectives for literacy-numeracy in the early years of elementary school" which has the intention to contribute to a better understanding of the concept of literacy and text that emerge from the official prescriptive documents of external evaluations, SAEB/"Prova Brasil", which influence

the action of the Elementary Education teacher.
