A atividade de pesquisa no livro didático de língua portuguesa multiversos - língua portuguesa, destinado ao ensino médio

Abstract

Research activities enable students to develop critical thinking and an investigative approach, while also fostering scientific literacy through reading and writing practices inherent to the research process. Accordingly, this study focuses on the development of research activities within the context of basic education, with the overarching aim of examining how the Portuguese Language textbook for High School (PNLD 2021-2023) guides such activities. the specific objectives include identifying the research guidelines outlined in the selected textbook, quantifying the research activities presented, analyzing their structure, and categorizing them based on the instructional approaches employed. The theoretical foundation of this study is supported by the works of Demo (2011), Bagno (2001), Soares (2009), Santos (2023), and Silva (2021), among others. Methodologically, this research is qualitative, descriptive, and documental in nature. The findings indicate that the textbook contains a total of 54 research activity proposals. Regarding the categorization and instructional orientations, 18 activities fall under the category of Research for Knowledge Expansion (RKE), 18 align with Scientific Methodology (SM), 13 are classified as Research in Project Development (RPD), 3 belong to the category of Research in Specialized Material (RSM), and 2 are categorized as Research for Concept Construction (RCC). In conclusion, the textbook highlights activities categorized as RKE, SM and RPD, promoting Portuguese language teaching that encourages active investigation, the formulation of students' own knowledge, autonomy and critical thinking. Furthermore, it includes a significant number of research activities, which may effectively contribute to enhancing scientific literacy within Basic Education.
