Leitura e escrita na educação infantil: análise dos vídeos divulgados na plataforma do Youtube

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the statements found in videos published on the YouTube platform that present the theme of reading and writing in early childhood education. Specifically, it is intended to identify in the speeches of the interlocutors to whom the verbal contents are intended; point out the most and least viewed videos, pointing out their contents and possible social repercussions, either at school or in the community in general and reflect on the possible understandings in relation to writing based on the statements. The theoretical assumptions of the study are based on the ideas of Vygotsky (1931, 1995/2000, 2021); Leontiev (2018), Luria (2018) and authors who approach the theme from the Historical-Cultural Theory-THC, such as Mukhina (1995) and Mello (1999, 2005, 2007,2010, 2012, 2015, 2021), that bring discussions about the complex process of acquisition of writing by the child. From a methodological point of view, this is an exploratory research based on the analysis of the statements found in the videos published on the YouTube platform. The videos considered suitable for this study followed the following criteria: being Brazilian, explanatory and addressing reading and writing in early childhood education directly or indirectly. Through the analyses, it was verified that the videos do not have any restrictions, that is, anyone can watch and replicate, their contents are intended for teachers, parents and children, focusing on reading and writing in early childhood education . As for the videos with a growing number of views, they are not presented by teachers or any other education professional, unfortunately the interlocutors are health professionals, such as: physiotherapist, neuropsychopedagogue and psychopedagogue. On the other hand, the videos that deal with the theory of reading and writing have few views. In view of this, it is necessary to understand reading and writing, beyond its mechanical aspects, as a complex cultural element, being a fundamental instrument for human development.
