PROTÓTIPO DE DICIONÁRIO PEDAGÓGICO DE ESCRITORES DA LITERATURA BRASILEIRA

Abstract

The recognition of the pedagogical importance of a dictionary used as didactic material or auxiliary instrument for the teaching-learning process of languages, was what motivated the development of this Master's research. Thus, a prototype dictionary was designed specifically for high school students, respecting the teaching recommendations proposed by BNCC (Brasil, 2018) and approved by MEC (2021) and the LDB (Law No. 13,415/2017). Therefore, it was decided as the aim of this study to elaborate a prototype of a pedagogical dictionary of Brazilian Literature writers, which meets the needs of potential researchers, in this specific case, high school students. The aim of this paper work were: i) analyze dictionaries with themes related to Brazilian literature, with a view to identifying organizational parameters that can serve as a model for the elaboration of the research dictionary prototype; ii) carry out bibliographic research with the intention of inventorying data that will serve to establish the nomenclature and all the parts that make up the hyperstructure of the prototype; iii) promote greater recognition of the importance of the dictionary in basic education, specifically in contexts of teaching and learning the Portuguese language in high school; iv) encourage new research that gives greater visibility to lexicographical production. Therefore, the study was based on theoretical and methodological principles of General Lexicography, Pedagogical Lexicography, epistemologies referring to Brazilian literature and in readings that deal with the use of the dictionary in teaching. To reach the desired prototype, firstly, five dictionaries with topics related to Literature and Brazilian writers were selected, with the aim of analyzing all the parts that make up the hyper structure of each work. Then, a descriptive analysis of the dictionaries was carried out, pointing out how the information was organized, what type of information was presented and whether it was appropriate for the target audience. In another stage, two writers from the Brazilian literary canon were selected, from the 16th century (known as the Quinhentismo period) to Modernism, to compose the set of slogans recorded in the entries. Finally, the five dictionaries analyzed were used along with other works and virtual pages in order to search for information about the writers and about Brazilian literature, recording those essential to meet the needs of high school students. Therefore, the dictionary prototype is of great importance for the student in a teaching-learning situation, as it can help in processes such as: historical, social and cultural knowledge of the country through different literary works; recognition of the main Brazilian writers; improvement of discursive practices; better practical development of reading and writing; construction of critical thinking; formation of self-identity, among others. Thus, through this dissertation, it is expected that students, especially high school students, have access to information that complements their intellectual development in a positive way, meeting their needs and interests.
