TEACHING WORK AND FREINET PEDAGOGY FREE TEXT AS A PEDAGOGICAL TOOL IN CHILDREN’S LITERACY

ABSTRACT

This text aims to present the free text, proposed by Célestin Freinet, as a relevant educational tool in the initial process of children’s literacy; to discuss Lev Vigotski’s contributions on technical and semiotic instruments in the dialogue with Freinet pedagogy; to analyze children’s writing appropriation processes, based on the records of work carried out during the first two years of schooling, in a municipal elementary school, in which the free text is highlighted. In the analysis, aspects of pedagogical mediation are also emphasized, while seeking to give visibility to singular paths experienced by children in their relations with others and with writing.
