A Prática como Componente Curricular em licenciaturas de Letras: um estudo discursivo das relações entre teoria e prática

Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to research, from de graduation reform on university occurred in 2001, the constitution of the disciplinary axis called Practice as a curricular component (PCC) in the graduation curriculum of the language education - Portuguese / Spanish - courses in the southeast region of Brazil focusing on the relation between theory and practice. We based our discussion on the thoughts of Deleuze (1968) to question the possibilities of total repetition or total differentiation; Vázquez (1977), bringing his discussion about práxis that talks about the impossibility to dissociate theory and practice and Schwartz (2010, to incorporate the discussion of the field of labor, in particular what concerns the impossibility of complete anticipation of the activity to be accomplished by a professional. We operate, also, with the concepts of the Discourse Analysis (MAINGUENEAU, 1998, 2003) as we consider the enunciates as socio-historic situated during our analysis. To accomplish our goal, we did a documental contextualization that included the analysis of the legal document 28/2001, in which are the determinations about the amount of hours and the definition of the graduation discipline axis, being: Academic Scientific, Practice as an Curricular Component and Supervised Training. We looked, also, to the Politic Pedagogic Projects of the analyzed universities, in order to research the understanding of practice built in these documents. Finally, we turned to the syllabus of the obligatory disciplines of PCC offered by the chosen universities, trying to identify the marks that bring together the discipline theme and labor that considers the teacher's work, since the axis of PCC is about this discussion. As criteria to choose the university, we used: one university of each state from the southeast region; two universities with disciplines that have, exclusively, hours from the PCC and two others with disciplines of PCC and AC. Therefore, the universities are: UERJ, UFSCar, UFES e UFTM.
