Conciência fonológica no processo de alfabetização na educação infantil

Abstract

This paper discusses the relevance of “Phonological Awareness in the Literacy Process in Early Childhood Education”, focusing on the use of efficient educational strategies to promote this aspect of children. The research was qualitative and classified as action research and involved children aged between 4 and 5 years old at the Maria do Carmo Guida de Miranda Municipal School in Floriano - PI. Having phonological awareness is crucial to learning to read and write, because it involves understanding the sounds of speech and how they relate to the letters that represent these sounds. The research is based on a critical analysis of the challenges and pedagogical methods used by literacy teachers, considering the ideas of authors such as Lorandi (2007), Lopes (2004) and Rojo (2017). The methodology used consisted of carrying out specific activities to promote the development of phonological awareness, with results that evidence its contribution to the recognition of alphabetic symbols, pronunciation and writing of children. Furthermore, the research highlights the importance of ongoing teacher training so that they can adopt more efficient strategies during the teaching-learning process of children in the classroom. The research is organized into three distinct parts: the first discusses the challenges and methods to be developed in the journey of literacy and phonological awareness teachers, while the second focuses on the practical application of the phonological awareness method in the teaching process, and the third focuses on early childhood education and the phonological awareness method with a focus on the axis: listening, speaking and thinking. The research is justified by the need to rethink traditional teaching methods and suggest approaches that promote more engaging and efficient learning. Research indicates that implementing approaches focused on the development of phonological awareness is essential for success in literacy and that educators must constantly analyze their teaching techniques in order to foster a more inclusive and efficient learning environment. This study contributes to the training of future teachers and to the improvement of pedagogical methods, highlighting the relevance of creative strategies in teaching reading and writing using the phonological awareness method.
