As estórias infantis como contexto de estudo da exclusão/inclusão com crianças

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the impact caused by children´s tales problematization and contextualization as part of children's experiences, with a group of 4th grade Elementary School students. Since children's literature is part of this study, I use a metaphor to propose the work, in which I create a Heroin (I – the researcher) who fights a battle against a "Monster" (the social exclusion), using as weapons some children's tales. The process of pedagogical intervention involved five children's tales by the author Fernanda Lopes de Almeida which dealt with the dimensions of exclusion according to social class, physical appearance, attitudes and way of being. The research was conduicted with five students in a private school who were selected, observed and monitored by myself, because they presented, according to the class teacher, attitudes of exclusion. The study showed possibilities of children's tales to be productive tools for the problem of children's attitudes facing social exclusion.
