POTENCIALIDADES DA CONTAÇÃO DE HISTÓRIAS EM ESPAÇOS NÃO ESCOLARES EM CORUMBÁ-MS.

Abstract

The research “POTENTIALITIES OF STORYTELLING IN NON-SCHOOL SPACES IN CORUMBÁ-MS” is part of the research line Educational practices, teacher/educator training in school and non-school spaces of the Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul - Pantanal Campus (UFMS-CPAN). Storytelling is a tool that has been used for thousands of years and currently resonates in various segments of society, but mainly in non-school spaces. This study's general objective is to analyze the potentialities and contributions of storytelling to children's development from the perspective and perceptions of storytellers in non-school spaces in the city of Corumbá/MS. The specific objectives were: (i) to systematize the experiences of storytelling in non- school spaces in Corumbá-MS; (ii) to identify the contributions of storytelling in interaction and development in non-school spaces; (iii) to identify the storyteller's perspective in the process of planning and selecting the storytelling sessions. The study population consisted of 11 subjects. To this end, a qualitative, bibliographic research approach was used, based on bibliographic and documentary data about storytelling and the role of the storyteller/narrator, as well as being based on the search for results, in case study and content analysis in light of Bardin's theory (1977), to understand the function and importance of this tool in the development of children present in these spaces through data collection via electronic forms. Analyses and results in VI categories demonstrated the potential of storytelling in boosting imagination, orality, critical thinking, reflections, hypotheses, discussions, a rich repertoire for vocabulary, among others. Given the above, the sensitivity inherent in this art is perceptible, as is how much its practice contributes to those who participate in storytelling in these non-school spaces, in addition to allowing the exchange of emotions and feelings for identity formation.
