Desafios no ensino da literatura nas instituições públicas e privadas de ensino médio

Abstract

This study highlights the challenges faced in teaching literature while proposing solutions to overcome them. A detailed analysis of the difficulties experienced by high school literature teachers was conducted, addressing issues such as the lack of continuous training, the shortage of appropriate teaching resources, student demotivation, and the limited time to explore reading more deeply. To enhance literature teaching in schools, proposed solutions include continuous teacher training to update knowledge and develop new teaching strategies; the integration of educational technologies, such as digital platforms and apps, to make teaching more dynamic and interactive; playful activities like games and dramatizations to provide a more enjoyable and meaningful approach to reading, motivating students to value reading as a social practice that can encourage them to become critical and reflective readers. To illustrate how literature contributes to students' development, a case study was conducted in a public high school. During a reading project, students had the opportunity to experience literary works and express their interpretations in various ways, making reading more engaging and meaningful. The results indicated increased student engagement in reading, along with the development of skills such as text interpretation, argumentation, and creativity.
