O papel da literatura na formação do desenvolvimento cognitivos dos indivíduos

Abstract

This paper investigates the role of literature in the cognitive development of individuals, focusing on the final years of elementary education. The research discusses how literature contributes to linguistic, critical, and emotional development, highlighting the challenges related to its implementation in the school environment. The objectives include analyzing the impact of literature on cognitive formation, identifying difficulties in the teaching process, and proposing effective pedagogical strategies. The qualitative methodology includes interviews with Portuguese language teachers and documentary analysis of teaching materials. The theoretical framework is based on the studies of Piaget and Vygotsky, who advocate the importance of literature for cognitive and social development. The expected results include a better understanding of pedagogical practices and suggestions for public policies that value literature as an essential cultural tool.
