Frames e valores – um estudo sobre a normatividade no espaço escolar

Abstract

This work is linked to the macro project "Orality and Citizenship Practices" (FAPEMIG - APQ-02405-09), enrolled in the Linguistics Research line and Language Teaching from PPG Linguistics – UFJF. The project's overall objective is to investigate the crisis of linguistic and interactional practices in the school environment and it involves dissertative and thesis subprojects. The case study is a public school in Muriaé – MG, recognized by directors and teachers as a “chaos”. Taking into account student´s perspective about the school environment as an object. The scope of investigation is to analyze how children (164 students from the first year of school basic education), as how they conceive and act the normativity in this place. The data analyzed was constructed from the answers of three different questions: 1) What is a rule to you? 2) Are there rules in your school? Say at least three, 3) What kind of rules do you consider your school should have? This study is conceived as a Case Study and it applies mixed procedures – quantitative and qualitative. The analysis starts from the linguistics point of view based on Cognitive Linguistics (LAKOFF, 1987; LAKOFF e JOHNSON, 1999; FILLMORE, 1982; SALOMÃO, 1999, 2009; FAUCONNIER e TURNER, 2002; CROFT e CRUSE, 2004) and, more specifically, in Frames Semantics (FILLMORE, 1968, 1977, 1982, 2003) and in its application in the project of lexical annotation FrameNet (www.framenet.icsi.berkeley.edu). The main theorical analitic category is, then, a frame, from which is installed the hermeneutical multidisciplinary exercises about students everyday experiences. Contributions from Social Sciences (BAUMAN, 1998, 2001, 2005; FRIDMAN, 2000 e GIDDENS, 2006) and Applied Linguistics (RAJAGOPALAN, 2006; FABRÍCIO, 2006; LOPES, 2008) allow us to draw the crisis values scene of the contemporary society which refletcs itself in school. Discussions in the Educational Site (NUCCI, 2000; MENIN, 2002; MIRANDA, 2005; GOERGEN, 2007; TOGNETTA e VINHA, 2008) and Moral Psychology (PIAGET, 1994; KOHLBERG, 1969, 1981; LA´TAILLE, 2006) provide content to the data interpretation. The research presents the results which support the presentation of a map of the School Indiscipline and of values crisis that happens in the current school. The uncovered web frames has its highlighted scenes, Hostile_Encounter, which represents 25,4% of the rules` content of school and 27,3% of ideal rules . The analysis reveals that the students conception of rule (127 answers) represented by the frames Rule_Obidience and Rule_Command involves a relation of coertion between the participants (Commander and Commanded) without any mention of participative cooperation, which are specific of democratic sites. The autocratic scenery perceived in school contributes in a way that students remain in the heteronomy phase of development. The contributions of this research related to the crisis imply pedagogical act with the aim of the Values Education, based on social pacts and agreements resulting from a reflexive practice between the actors of the school family.
