Apropriação teórica e formação de professores na graduação em Letras: o processo enunciativo em análise

Abstract

In this work we will present the results obtained from the research developed in the PhD program in Language and Arts of UFPA (Federal University of Pará). In this research, we will investigate the theoretical appropriation as it is understood as a fundamental part of the teacher training process. We seek to answer the following question: what kind of relation do the undergraduate students that are considered training teachers establish in their speeches according to the different theoretical frameworks presented to them during the language and arts course? The initial hypothesis is that as long as there is no theoretical appropriation in fact, the theory will not have a constitutive role in the students' discursive practices neither in their training for future teaching work. Thus, our general objective is to understand how English and Arts undergraduate students appropriate and mobilize the theoretical constructs taught in the course which will be or should be used in their future professional activity as teachers. The corpus used is composed of two types of academic productions carried out by undergraduate students: 1) Online didactic interactions carried out in a social network when it is re-designated as a teaching platform; these data are the result of an educational project executed in the undergraduation of Language Major in Portuguese of the Federal University of Pará for two years; 2) Written productions more common in academic environment such as internship report , essays and thesis, also held at Federal University of Pará. As a theoretical contribution, we work with The Polyphonic Theory of Ducrot (1987) and also the Theory of Semantic Blocks (TSB) by the same author; we also applied the Authier-Revuz framework (1990, 1998, 2004) on discursive heterogeneities; we also resort to some features of Foucault's enunciative analysis (1999, 2014), mainly the concepts of ritual and discipline. The results of the research show that training teachers tend to trace theory in their academic productions in a superficial and ritualistic way, we mean that, the appropriation is not fully solidified yet, consequently, theory is used more as a base form than a constitutive role.
