O processo de revisão da escrita: um estudo do que o docente privilegia no trabalho com o texto

Abstract

Our research is based on methodological principles of Socio-discursive Interactionism and on theoretical bases of Text Linguistics, making interfacing with Applied Linguistics. It fundamentally aims to identity, in the task of text revision, in the classroom, the extent to which the teacher explores formal aspects of genre and prototypical textual sequence as sociocognitive and language resources, utilized for interaction purposes. In order to develop investigation around the study object – revision of texts of narrative police news genre through the teacher intervention –, it was necessary to use three tools: testing questionnaire, Assessment Form and Students’ Texts. So eight faculty subjects investigated and eight more assistants – UFC Course of Arts students –, who were completing teacher training in a school, submitted themselves to four activity, basically: 1) testing on the preconceived knowledge of the study object; 2) planning on class conducting; 3) systematic follow-up, having in mind the teacher performance; 4) assessment, considering what had been planned and put into practice. The student subjects – eight high school students, one for each teacher – experienced the production of texts of narrative police news genre, submitting themselves to two revisions. As analysis category of the subjects’ work on the narrative police news genre, it was taken into account, in a broader sense, the aspects of the pragmatic, textual, and surface linguistics. The methodological procedures adopted for an effective analysis had as a basis: 1) the relation which the genres have with the social world and with the reality; 2) the intern architecture of genre and of the textual sequence and the role which the language elements perform in this architecture; 3) the functioning of the psychological and behavioral operations which involves the genre productions. Considering the trajectory of the research oriented by parameters of the context and text, we synthesized the results through the data which confirm our basic hypothesis, mingled with data of other hypotheses: the more the faculty oriented about the organization of a textual genre and of the structuring of its prototype sequence, as well as about the pragmatic/enunciative aspects conventionalized for the use of this genre the more they effectively interfered in the writing process, particularly in the revising process of their students texts. On the other hand, the texts reflected the faculty work. Key words: revision; narrative police report; prototypical textual sequence
