Concepções de letramento e alfabetização dos familiares com estudantes em tratamento de saúde no ambiente hospitalar

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the importance of the conceptions of literacy and literacy in the development of pedagogical practices with children in hospitalization. This is a qualitative research, conducted through semi structured interviews with families of children of compulsory schooling age in health treatment at the Professor Alberto Antunes University Hospital (HUPAA).This research is part of the general research and extension project guided by Professor Elisangela de Oliveira Mercado entitled “(Mis)paths of Educational Care in Hospital and Home Environment for Students in Health Treatment in Alagoas” occurred from 09/01/2023 to 31/08/2024. The theoretical foundation of this study is anchored in the research of Fonseca et.al (2003), Matos and Mugiatti et.al (2009), Simões et. al (2022) and Mercado et.al (2022) on education in a hospital environment, articulated to the studies of Ferreiro et.al (1985) and Soares et.al (2004) about the conceptions of literacy and literacy in the process of acquiring reading and writing, emphasizing the active role of the child in the construction of knowledge, formulation of hypotheses about alphabetic writing and expansion of knowledge about the social practices of reading and writing. The transcribed interviews and the speeches were compiled in a table, elaborated according to Sampieri's (1984) methodological guidelines. The speech clippings that answer the investigated questions are distributed by representative themes of literacy and literacy conceptions. The results indicate that literacy and literacy practices in a hospital environment are described by families as a strategy that contributes to success in schooling, in addition to avoiding repetition and school evasion.
