Nos caminhos da escrita: relações entre teoria e prática

Abstract

The ways of writing are marked by recursion and subjectivity, as well expressions and standpoints especially by actions that promote interaction. To demonstrate connections between theoretical assumptions and teaching practices was the target of this research. The theoretical basis was fixed on two pillars – social discursive interactionism (ISD) and Cognitive Process Theory of Writing by Linda Flower e John Hayes. The main objective elected was to verify the applicability of a didactic project based on the theoretical issues and check that the set of planned activities can help to solve problems in the writing activity. This is an action research - thus structured in three stages: diagnosis, execution of actions, final test and was conducted with students of a public high school in São Luís, 25 of them participated in all phases, and their texts were selected to compose this work. Questionnaires were also applied in the diagnosis stage in order to draw a class general profile, and a final test to check the impact of the project actions among participants. The actions of the research allowed to find answers to questions raised and mainly emphasize the need for new practices that can actually contribute to the formation of competent writers in schools.
