Por um ambiente novo de ensino e aprendizagem da ortografia para a “geração polegar”

Abstract

The inclusion of technological resources as a pedagogical tool is already part of the reality of many schools. However, many are those who resist including cell phones as one of these features. For the development of the research, the problem was to un- derstand if it is feasible to create a new spelling teaching-learning environment in El- ementary School, using the Whatsapp mobile phone and instant messaging applica- tion? Based on the study problem the hypothesis was that the insertion of the Whatsapp instant messaging application and mobile phone in an orderly and planned way, can contribute to the affirmation and improvement of the young students in rela- tion to reading and writing. This study is justified by its relevance, since it has for horizon, an alternative pedagogical practice for the teaching of spelling in a contextu- alized way, allowing the student to understand and explain the orthographic princi- ples, so that he can make use of it. Therefore, the objective of the general objective is to propose an alternative form of teaching and learning of Spelling, whose focus is the effective development of the writing skills of students who attend the 9th year of elementary school, examined as the contribution of mobile technology and Of the WhatsApp instant messaging application, can increase the teaching quality of these students. For this purpose, theoretical support was sought in several authors, such as: Cagliari (2009), Faraco (2000), Lemle (1997), Morais (2002) among others. Con- sidering that the cell phone could be a powerful pedagogical tool, both for concentrat- ing various media and for the possibility of students being motivated to study using this tool, our research aimed to propose an alternative form of teaching-learning Of Spelling, whose focus is on the effective development of writing skills of students at- tending 9th grade elementary school, examined as the contribution of mobile phone technology and Whatsapp instant messaging application, can increase the teaching quality of these students. Many students arrive in the last grade of Elementary School with serious difficulties in writing, which can accompany them throughout High School, Higher Education and, perhaps, throughout life, if no intervention in this di- rection is performed. In this way, we intend to develop a virtual environment of teach- ing and learning through mobile technology, in particular the mobile phone, in which students can create, receive, share and use information and knowledge about spelling, aiming to contribute to teaching This theme. Thus, through the research, through the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Applied Linguistics and ethnographic research, we intend to examine how the use of mobile technology con- tributes methodologically to the teaching of spelling and, consequently, to the appro- priation of writing, since this is One of the conditions of fundamental importance in the numerous situations of communicative interactions of the speaker / writer. As a conclusion, it was evidenced that the accomplishment of the Intervention Educational Plan was satisfactory, given that the orthographic errors reduced considerably, lead- ing us to reflect and respond to the problem of study, affirming that the creation of a new environment of Teaching-learning spelling in elementary school, using mobile phone and instant messaging application Whatsapp is feasib
