Análise do Acento grave e circunflexo no livro didático português linguagens do 6º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This research aims to observe the use of the graphic accent, acute and circumflex, in the Portuguese Language textbook: Portuguese Linguagens, for the 6th year of Elementary School and reflect on pedagogical practices that lead the student to reflective learning of the graphic accent. This topic is relevant since there are many challenges presented with regard to mastering the rules of graphic accentuation by the majority of students, from the initial grades to high school. Initially, it was observed, in the literature presented, how the topic has been approached and which methodologies are used to teach graphic accentuation. The theoretical contribution was based on: Bechara (2009); Cagliari (1999); Cegalla (2020); Mattoso Câmara (1970); Marra (2012); Travaglia (2001), among others. As an example, we analyzed a Portuguese language teaching work approved in PNLD 2023 for the 6th year of Elementary School in the final years: Portuguese Languages. It is concluded that the textbook analyzed presents contextualized activities, however, it proposes a superficial approach to teaching graphic accentuation with an emphasis on conceptualization and little reflection on the differentiation between the use of accent in speech and writing.
