Technology as an agent for stimulating reading Luciana Apolonio Rodrigues Carneiro Luciana Rodrigue  E-mail
Undergraduate research: Reflections on teaching in the light of the scientific method
 
 Research Project: Technology as an agent for stimulating reading
 
 Bauru - 2008
 
 Apolonio Luciana Rodrigues Carneiro - 1 degree in Pedagogy and Professor of Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education in the Municipality of Bauru.
 
 BACKGROUND
 
 The intention of this study is to investigate the impact produced by the Information Technologies and Communication in the Literacy and Literacy and also investigate the possibilities of extending the habits of readers of elementary school students.


 
 It is obvious to say that reading is integral to the teaching craft. More likely still rely on it daily in the classroom. I refer not only to read of patients linked to the text content to be developed, but also the contact reading through the practice of storytelling.
 
 Experts say that storytelling is the child's first contact with a text and which also begins the chances of feeling the emotions.
 We know that the social function of writing is one of the responsibilities of school and, in consequence, comes to reading. Therefore, the school becomes a privileged space for this incentive and the teachers become the key players.
 
 But how the school can "feed" the love of reading? What to do once the habit of reading, according to UNESCO, is associated with some factors, such as being born into a family of readers, passing a school system concerned with the habit of reading, accessibility and value to the book the population gives it?
 
 In recent years, the Brazilian public school has sought improvements in their conditions. The deployment of information systems and purchasing books by the government are increasing and taking up space in school and as an institution it is systematic, the teachers take an extremely important and decisive promotion.
 
 To do that, considering the stage of interest and reading ability of the reader. Respecting the rights of the reader as to choose what to read, to reread, to read anywhere or even not to read, it also makes the act of reading valued. Creates a link attached, in which reading is to attract the reader and in which, in turn, does not want to loosen up.
 
 PROBLEM
 
 The school is a privileged space for easy access of books to students, but the creation of strategies to encourage them to take the reading habit is part of the office staff.
 
 We know that the dynamic range of individuals with text provided by the Internet and covered by the Digital Technology helps to increase the interest of any audience. However, filtering all the virtual universe is a mission that is only valid if the reader knows define criteria for the selection of what to read. And the experience in many reading situations to define what genre to read, knowing the individual characteristics of each.
 
 Therefore, the issues that come to the realization of this work are:
 
 The partnerships with digital technology, which today is becoming more available to the public and academic customers who have access to it at home, at school, Internet café etc.. can be considered as a facilitator and stimulator of reading by students?
 
 It is possible the school create conditions that enable students to develop skills for use of criteria for selection of text genres, from the various experiences of reading?
 Hypothesizing
 
 
 The opportunity to read is linked to the availability and variety of books and, with the advent of the Internet has expanded the universe of the written material. Therefore, we believe that technology affects education deeply and can not be ignored because it is present in the daily life of most people. Therefore, the use of Information Technologies and Communication in the school context is an essential stimulator for the reading practices. Furthermore, we believe it is up to the school to help train the students, regarding the construction of criteria for selection of the material to be read.
 
 OBJECTIVES
 
 General Purpose
 
 Using Technology as a facilitator and stimulator of the taste for reading.
 
 Specific Objectives
 
 Observe to what extent the incentive for reading can develop in the student:
 
 The like to hear stories and to feel pleasure in situations that involve the reading of them.
 
 The expression of feelings, experiences, ideas and opinions, defining criteria for the selection of a book.
 
 The perception of the peculiarities of each book: author, illustrator, literary genre among others.
 
 Analyze the different reading situations oriented and / or free in the virtual environment, comparing the appropriation of the experiences of students in reading a printed book and digital book.
 
 Check the criteria used by students in the selection of literary genres, considering their preferences.
 
 Produce texts with characteristics of a fairy for making a book to be released later in the virtual environment.
 REVIEW
 
 According to Abramovich, the storytelling is the child's first contact with a text and is also where you start the possibility of feeling emotions.
 
 Ah, how important it is for the formation of any player to take many, many stories ... Listening to them is the beginning of learning to be a reader, and reader is to be an absolutely infinite path of discovery and understanding of the world. (ABRAMOVICH, 1993, P.16)
 
 Unfortunately, in Brazil the reading is not emphasized at the time. We have a society with the theory that education is the basis for the development, but with actions that have been doing exclusive.
 
 Sant `Anna describes an episode about reading, in which the practice does not match the speech.
 
 Of the six ministers of culture that interacted with a clearly stated at a meeting in the Ministry, for all to hear, that reading was not a priority issue in my ministry, this is a matter for the Ministry of Education. (SANT'ANA, 1999, p 15)
 
 We can see that reading is still a mistake even to our government. Either it is linked with power, that is a very greedy for the man, or is associated with ignorance, pedagogically known as functional illiteracy (the name given to the person that even with the slightest ability to decode the words, phrases and sentences do not develop the ability of reading comprehension).
 
 To the representatives of the people reading can be a "double-edged sword" for teachers it is the "foundation" in the pedagogical work. THE National Curriculum Parameters (PCN) Portuguese Language argues that reading is the gateway for access to other forms of knowledge "An intense practice of reading in school is especially necessary because reading teaches reading and writing." (p. 65)
 
 Write the name and to have mastery of alphabetical codes, using them for the formulation of texts does not mean that the person is literate.
 
 Emily Smith, in an interview, says the citizen to exercise their rights must be able to make a critical reading of the text message - a comprehensive reading to allow comparisons, draw consequences etc.. It goes further when asked about the arrival of computers:
 
 The presence of writing on the computer screen is now a universal fact. Information technology and communications is bringing major changes not only in the labor market, but also in practices of reading and writing. (SMITH, 2008)
 
 It also features the text on the computer, linking it to ancient times:
 
 Browse the Internet requires a reader behavior quite different from the behavior that he has in front of the book. To get the text on the screen moves vertically. Remember the handling of a roll, as they did in antiquity, before the invention of the book, which handles turning pages. The organization of the page of the book is very different from what we have on a computer screen, which is full of distractors. (SMITH, 2008)
 
 It emphasizes that the school does not value the skills of selection - the elect that serves and what does not - and it is the responsibility of the school put children in touch with what there is best in his time.
 
 In a speech in Sao Paulo on March 29 in the auditorium of the Art Museum of Sao Paulo (MASP), sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Village School, Emily Smith talks about literacy:
 
 Thanks to new technologies, it may be easier to introduce children to literacy. New technologies are very powerful and has no sense to ask whether they are good or bad, whether serving or not. Every day there are more schools networked, it appears that the Internet will proliferate as happened with the phone. `(SMITH, 2008)
 
 The dynamics offered by the technology attracts the public, especially students who have the need to first be attracted by the text, using illustrations and / or sound.
 
 Another aspect to consider is that the facilities that the technology offers and gives the teacher "No" possibilities for the preparation of their classes. It is important to emphasize that we are in the digital age and being online is not being inserted in cyberculture. The sorting information is the basis for choice and can only choose when options are offered.
 
 Silva says about the need for schools to use technology as a partner:
 
 If the school does not include the Internet in the education of new generations, it is in the dustbin of history, alien to the spirit of time and, criminally, producing social exclusion or exclusion of cyberculture. (SILVA, 2005)
 
 Moran also says that not everything that is in the virtual world can be good, but the handling is what gives the reader able to learn whether or not.
 
 Being virtual is not the guarantee of quality (this is a problem that hinders the choice), but greatly expands the conditions of learning, access, exchange, update. Much information takes work and leaves us anxious and confused. But it is much better than it was before the Internet, when only a privileged few were able to travel abroad and searching the large libraries of leading universities. Today we do just the same without leaving home. (Moran, 2008)
 
 METHODOLOGY
 
 The field observation and literature are the tools of work for the development of this project, which will be taken the following actions:
 
 1 - to favor reading situations:
 
 Storytelling (Professor X X Students and Students Students - 1st grade and 4th grade)
 
 Access to books of different literary genres (castor)
 
 Selection and dissemination via the mural of the best book of rotation of books
 
 Guided reading in the virtual environment
 
 Free lecture in the virtual environment.
 
 2 - To promote debate: "The differences between the printed book and digital book.
 
 3 - Check the preferences of text genres.
 
 4 - Preparation of a book and release of the virtual environment.
 
 EXPECTED
 
 That research can demonstrate how technology can contribute to develop a taste for reading, and the importance of this feature as a mechanism of virtual publishing of student productions.
 
 Expected to also train students in the behaviors of use of selection criteria of the matter to be read in virtual environments.
