BRITO, Larissa Elizabeth Barros  and  ROCHA, Maria Sílvia Pinto de Moura Librandi da. Literature and Children Education: ways to work with texts and possibilities to develop creative skills. LTP [online]. 2016, vol.34, n.68, pp.45-64. ISSN 2317-0972.  https://doi.org/10.5965/0102-387Xv34n682016064.

These are the outcomes of a research developed with a classroom in Children Education, aiming at investigating how to work pedagogically with children’s literature by scrutinizing their possible effects on children’s creative skill development. The research was conducted under the following methodologic procedures: (i) structured interview with the classroom’s teacher and the school’s librarian; (ii) observation of story tellings; and (iii) semi-structured group interview with the children. All the procedures were recorded in video; the audio was recorded in part of the interview with the children. Qualitative analyses were applied, with special focus on the empirical material produced during the interview with the children, by contrasting the creative development (im)possibilities when working with textbooks. The results show different child developments based on the narrated stories and they allow us to identify pedagogical practices and the scope of children’s literature in schools.

Keywords : Children’s Literature; Child Education; Creative Skills.
