Construction of knowledge objects for Portuguese language classes in the scientific literacy approach

ABSTRACT

We investigate a training experience of Portuguese language teachers, guided by the scientific literacy approach, in a professional master’s degree offered by the Brazilian government as a teachers instruction program linked up to public schools. The investigated documents were texts produced by the own teachers in training during the program in question, in addition to an official document that was proposed to determine, mainly, subjects, contents and skills to be compulsorily worked on Brazilian basic schools. At the end of this article, we present a proposal of pedagogical activity as result of alignment of knowledges produced in the investigated experience of teacher training.
