This study is part of the Academic Literacy Project (2019-2022), a collaborative study carried out among four public universities in the State of Paraná. This paper aims at describing the academic-scientific literacy actions in the undergraduate courses of the Federal University of Technology - Paraná, by means of mapping the courses transcripts from Campus Curitiba. A mixed sequential exploratory method (TASHAKKORI; CRESWELL, 2007) was applied with interpretative, deductive, and inductive analysis procedures, considering the peculiarities of each course. At first, we built an inventory with keywords based on the conceptions of professional, academic, and scientific literacies. Next, an analysis of the content from the transcripts was carried out in the light of the theories and models of Academic Literacies (LEA; STREET, 1998; FIAD, 2011), named study skills, academic socialization, and academic literacies. Results indicate that there are few disciplines which offer the teaching of genre and, among the ones that do, focus on teaching of the study skills and academic socialization models.
RESUMO: O presente trabalho faz parte do projeto Ações de Didatização de Gêneros em prol do Letramento Acadêmico (2019-2022), uma pesquisa de natureza colaborativa entre quatro universidades públicas do estado do Paraná. Nosso estudo objetiva descrever ações de Letramentos Acadêmico-Científicos nos cursos de graduação da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná por meio de um mapeamento das ementas dos cursos de bacharelado, licenciatura e tecnologia no Câmpus Curitiba. Para as análises, recorremos ao método misto sequencial exploratório (TASHAKKORI; CRESWELL, 2007), com procedimentos de análises interpretativas, dedutivas e indutivas, considerando particularidades contextuais dos respectivos cursos. Em uma primeira etapa, construímos um inventário com palavras-chave com base nas concepções de letramentos profissional, acadêmico e científico. Na sequência, realizamos a análise das ementas à luz das teorias e dos modelos de Letramentos Acadêmicos (LEA; STREET, 1998; FIAD, 2011) denominados habilidades de estudo, socialização acadêmica e letramentos acadêmicos. Os resultados apontam que poucas são as disciplinas que propõem o ensino de gêneros de texto e, dentre as apresentadas, estas limitam-se ao ensino com foco nas habilidades de estudo e na socialização acadêmica.
Ideally, readers build meaningful and coherent mental representations of the texts they read (KINTSCH; VAN DIJK, 1978; VAN DIJK; KINTSCH, 1983; GAGNÉ et al., 1993); and they are able to express such mental representations in summaries and recall protocols. Furthermore, strategic readers approach a text while keeping in mind the situation in which they are reading, i.e., reading purposes and text type, and while monitoring their comprehension (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
