A jornada dos Navegantes Honoratos: literatura juvenil como formação para docentes de letras

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the importance of youth literature as a formative experience for teachers of Portuguese Language and Literature at the Federal University of Pará (Belém campus). To answer this question, an extension course on young adult literature entitled Navegantes Honoratos was applied, which, through a composition of active methodologies, sought to work with the genre with the selected audience, verifying its relevance. The work was written according to the narrative methodology developed by Lucio (2016), supported by Suárez and Clandinin and Connelly. For the study of young adult literature, authors such as Zilberman, Debus, Abramovich, among others, were used, in addition to the writers-characters of this work: Maria Lúcia Medeiros, Cecília Meireles and Nelly Novaes Coelho. At the end of the research and analysis of the results, which were in the form of letters prepared with Pedagogical Narrative Documentation (DNEP) in mind, the relevance and effectiveness of the study of youth literature for teachers in training in Portuguese Language and Literature was confirmed, attesting that its contribution to this undergraduate course is valuable.
