Abstract

The hereby study, affiliated to the research line “Forming and Pedagogical Formation of the Professional Docent”, under the Masters in Education of the University of Western Sao Paulo (Unoeste) in Presidente Prudente-SP, had as goal ains to identify and discuss the profile of the docent responsible for the “Reading Room Program”, its initial and continuing formation and its intervention practices in the process of building the critical-reflexive thinking of the elementary education students/readers. The qualitative research was set under a study case. It was used an epistemological reference about the social-semiotics nature of the language, the text and reading socio-cultural conceptions, and the docent formation. The procedures applied in the data collection were the documental analysis and interviews semi-structured with three docents responsible for the referred Program, who are active in schools of full-time Education in a county in the country side of Sao Paulo. Among the results obtained, it’s highlighted the fragilities in the conditions offered by the State, which get to the point of compromising the performance of the attributions given to the teacher responsible for the Program. However, from the evaluative point of view of the three docents participating in the research, a fascination discourse emerged from the participation in the Program, and of understanding that the continuing formation has made “good results” possible in the practice of reading works. This discourse also constitutes an object of critical reflection in this thesis.
