Construção de identidades em um processo de alfabetização

Abstract

This work is the report of an apprenticeship experience in Groups and Institutions, accomplished in a Civil Construction Company in São José dos Campos. The objective of this work was build identities through the project of adults’ literacy. The used methodology was institutional analysis of the speech and the used procedure: writing shop supported in Paulo Freire’s method. The obtained results were: the people’s recognition that participated as subjects in the literacy process, the writing as mediator of the subjective registration in the construction of the identity and of the social liaison. The participants during this experience were alphabetized starting from the words that made sense to them. It can be observed that learning to read and to write became a onenness mark in its lives. In the writing shop they produced letters to their relatives and friends and told on its life histories. They revealed that before learning to read and to write, they were envy of rich people, now this feeling is of those that knew how to read and to write more than they. This desire to know is a propelling spring of this learning and it modifies the way of living of this clientele.
