Multiletramentos e a problemática do machismo: reflexões e práticas em uma disciplina eletiva de uma escola de tempo integral de Fortaleza-CE

Abstract

This qualitative research is a case study conducted at a full-time public school in the municipal network of Fortaleza, Ceará. The objective of the study was to understand the practical experiences of elementary school students in an elective course based on Multiliteracies Pedagogy, which discusses and problematizes the theme of machismo in society. The methodology followed a lesson plan structured around eleven face-to-face meetings with eighth and ninth-grade students, and data collection was supported by instruments such as questionnaires, audio recordings, conversations, activity submissions, and field diary entries. The results show that Multiliteracies Pedagogy and its pillars applied to social themes can supplement strategies already adopted in the classroom, especially with young audiences and the appreciation of their knowledge and culture, promoting critical thinking and reflection. However, approaches that make use of digital technologies may encounter obstacles, considering the reality of the school and the audience. It is clear that adjustments are needed to improve student engagement and participation.
