Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa (PNAIC): uma nova possibilidade para formar professores de educação infantil?

Abstract

This research aims to understand and follow the implementation of the policy of the National Pact for Literacy in the Right Age (PNAIC) in 2018, based on the formative meetings held in the municipality of Santa Maria - RS, on April 26 and 27, 2018. This year's development of the program is due to some changes that have occurred in the structure and scope of the PNAIC (2017), and it has also been in charge of Early Childhood Education. Due to different conceptions regarding teaching and learning processes and how / when these processes should occur, policies and programs of continuing education emerge that, although they seem interesting and bring innovative proposals, often in their elaboration do not represent a concern how they will be interpreted and implemented. Therefore, during the research, we use as a theoretical contribution the writings of TOMAZZETTI (2007), BRITTO (2012), FERREIRO (2011a; 2011b), MELLO (2005), as well as Legislações and other supporting documents. As instruments for data collection, we used the reading of the program's guiding documents, dialogues with regional and local PNAIC trainers and observations from participation in the training meetings. Finally, we emphasize that it is not the goal of Children's Education to literate children - based on other Brazilian policies, such as the National Curriculum Guidelines for Early Childhood Education (2009) -, which calls for the inclusion of this stage in a program aimed at to train teachers to be literate at the right age.
