Abstract

This article is the result of a theoretical research and is part of a larger study under development in the doctorate program in Education of the State University Paulista Julio de Mesquita Filho. It aims to understand the importance of aesthetic literacy for the development of reading and writing of young and adult students in rural education from readings and comic books productions. This study is based on Cultural-Historical theory and has as a method the Didactic-Formative Experiment. The data recording instruments used in the research are the field records of observations made in the classroom, the audio recording of interviews with the students, as well as visual records of the comic books produced by the students and classes recordings in videos. For data analysis, we will follow the perspective of Dialectical Historical Materialism. When considering reading and writing as social and cultural practices, literacy is fundamental in the educational process. In this sense, we understand that comic books are important instruments for the development of reading and writing of the young and adults of the rural education, allying text and image in the process of teaching and learning.

Highlights

This article is the result of a theoretical research that is part of a larger study under development in the doctorate program in Education of the State University Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho”, Marília campus.It is linked to a set of collaborative research actions developed at the Marília campus, which includes youth and adult education as a vast theoretical-reflexive field, beyond the mere concept of adult literacy, as sometimes happens
The data recording instruments obtained in the research field are the field records of the observations made in the classroom, the audio recording of the interviews with the Youth and Adult Education (YAE) students, which will be later transcribed in full, besides photographs of the works - visual records of the comics books produced by the YAE students and videotapes of the experiment developed in class
It is important to emphasize that Rural Education presents a dimension of youth and adult education, since it contains students from different age groups, many of whom are workers, usually with low schooling, who come from the countryside to the university and return, in order to complete their studies (Caldart, Paludo, & Doll, 2006)

Summary

Introduction

This article is the result of a theoretical research that is part of a larger study under development in the doctorate program in Education of the State University Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho”, Marília campus.It is linked to a set of collaborative research actions developed at the Marília campus, which includes youth and adult education as a vast theoretical-reflexive field, beyond the mere concept of adult literacy, as sometimes happens. The research seeks to solve the following problem: what is the importance of aesthetic literacy for the development of reading and writing of young and adult education in the rural education from readings and comic books productions?. We will follow the perspective of Historical and Dialectical Materialism (Vygotsky, 2007, 2001). This PhD research is being developed at the Federal University of Tocantins, campus Tocantinópolis, State of Tocantins, Brazil, where one of the authors works as a professor of the Licentiate course in Rural Education with Qualification in Arts and Music. It is important to emphasize that Rural Education presents a dimension of youth and adult education, since it contains students from different age groups, many of whom are workers, usually with low schooling, who come from the countryside to the university and return, in order to complete their studies (Caldart, Paludo, & Doll, 2006)
