O presente trabalho teve como objetivo compreender como é realizada a educação literária numa instituição para jovens e adultos com “Dificuldade Intelectual e Desenvolvimental” (DID). Mais especificamente, quis-se 1) Caraterizar o contexto institucional no que se refere à intervenção na área da literacia quanto ao meio envolvente e às atividades de literacia; e 2) Caraterizar os clientes da instituição quanto às suas competências de literacia e a motivação para a leitura.
Como estratégia de pesquisa optou-se pelo estudo de caso, em que a unidade em análise correspondeu a uma instituição particular de solidariedade social (IPSS), intitulada de “Quinta-essência – Qe, Uma Nova Linguagem para a Incapacidade”, constituída sob a forma de associação civil sem fins lucrativos para jovens e adultos com DID. Participaram neste estudo 8 clientes do Centro de Atividades Ocupacionais (CAO) da Qe. Como metodologia de recolha de dados optou-se pela observação participante, completada com o registo estruturado (duas grelhas de observação pedagógicas no domínio da leitura e da escrita) e um conjunto de provas desenvolvidas no âmbito da investigação em literacia emergente.
De um modo geral, considera-se que este estudo respondeu aos objetivos a que se propôs. Os resultados apresentados revelaram que a Qe valoriza a educação literária dos seus clientes, pois, para o efeito, investe em diferentes áreas de trabalho organizadas, em projetos e atividades diversificadas e frequentes, facilitando os recursos necessários ao seu desenvolvimento. Além disso, verificou-se que os clientes analisados estão aptos e motivados para a aquisição e desenvolvimento da literacia.
This paper aimed to understand how literary education is held in an institution for young people and adults with “Intellectual and Developmental Difficulty” (IDD). Specifically, it was intended to 1) Characterize the institutional context with regard to intervention in the area of literacy regarding the environment and literacy activities; and 2) Characterize the institution's clients regarding their literacy skills and reading motivation. The research strategy adopted was the case study, in which the unit under analysis corresponded to a particular social solidarity institution (IPSS), entitled “Quinta-essência – Qe, Uma Nova Linguagem para a Incapacidade”, constituted under the non-profit civil association for young people and adults with IDD. Eight clients from Qe's Occupational Activities Center (OAC) participated in this study. The data collection methodology used was the participant observation, complemented by a structured register (two pedagogical observation grids in the field of reading and writing) and a set of tests developed in the emerging literacy research. In general, it is considered that this study responded to the objectives set. The results showed that Qe values the literary education of its clients, because, for this purpose, it invests in different organized work areas, in diverse and frequent projects and activities, facilitating the necessary resources for its development. In addition, it was found that the clients analyzed are able and motivated for the acquisition and development of literacy.
