Os Quadrinhos na Escola e a Gibiteca Escolar: orientações para a implementação e organização de gibitecas escolares

Abstract

Comics are rich sources in artistic, cultural, and informative terms, and they are also fully viable materials to be used and incorporated into the pedagogical context. In this sense, school comic’s libraries emerge as mediators capable of bringing schools closer to comics and expanding the view beyond the recreational reading of these materials. Within this context, and also recognizing the persistent mistrust or even the lack of familiarity on the part of a piece of stakeholders with the material, it is achievable to consider that the adoption of the genres of literary adaptations in comics in school comic’s libraries can be a strategy to introduce such materials. Since they are already known narratives, they end up being more tangible, facilitating connection, work, and minimizing any barriers. Thus, believing in the beneficial possibilities of using comics in educational institutions and also aiming to promote the creation of more schools comic’s libraries, this dissertation developed within the Professional Master's Program in Teaching in Basic Education of the Graduate Program Stricto Sensu of the Centro de Ensino e Pesquisa Aplicada à Educação (CEPAE) of Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG), aimed at developing an instructional material, in ebook format, called "Comics Belong in Schools Too: Ideas and Proposals for a School Comics’ Library", which provides guidelines for the creation, implementation, and management of a school comics’ library, focusing on a collection with novels adaptations in comics. The material was published in the CAPES repository and also in on-line bookstores, with the download available for free. For its preparation, in addition to bibliographic research, a case study was also carried out, using the method of participant observation and the application of questionnaires in brazilian comic book libraries forma May 2023 to July 2023, which allowed a greater approach to the environment and its daily routine. With the information collected and organized, an analysis by data triangulation was carried out, which allowed the correlation of data seen in different situations, thus being able to certify such reports and information collected and observed. Thus, all these steps were essential for the construction of the presented final product.
