Leitura crítica: um caminho para a ressocialização.

Abstract

The significant increase in crime and the level of imprisonment of the Brazilian penal system has led scholars, the government and civil society to reflect on strategies that reverse this extremely fragile situation. Criminal legislation provides for alternatives to resocialization and combating recidivism: education and work. The prison school through pedagogical mediation of Portuguese language teaching can be a space for excellence in learning, valuing and consolidating a critical reading that can help in the social reintegration of the victims. In this perspective, this research was started with the general objective of describing how the language classes of the. (PB) have been developed and their possible contributions to the construction of competences related to reading directed towards the social reintegration of prisoners. It is justified to carry out this study the desire to investigate this reality that presents its own characteristics and specificities, bringing to light the effects of the critical reading in favor of the social reintegration of the victims. Based theoretically on the modern trends of the Public Educational Policy of Young and adult implanted in the prison schools allied to the central concepts of Freirean pedagogy and of the areas of reading and critical literacy will be made a reflection on the pedagogical practices and the incentive to the reading in this educational environment using as methodology the qualitative research of an ethnographic nature, with support in a bibliographical research. Data were collected through systematic observations of reading classes, informal conversations and structured questionnaires. The results obtained point to a deficiency in the reading training of the subjects involved, due to a traditional pedagogical practice that prioritizes reading teaching as a mere decoding of letters and phrases, without instigating the critical reading by the learner, constituting an obstacle to criminal resocialization, much although the prisoners see prison education as a fundamental instrument in their social reintegration, taking into account the expectations of improving living conditions at the time of their return to society and contributing to improve expectations regarding employability, which indicates urgency in the implementation of public policies that contribute to teacher education for the development of critical reading training.
