Entre Versos E Saberes: A Literatura De Cordel Como Recurso Didático Pedagógico Na Formação De Aprendizagens Significativas

Abstract

This study highlights the relevance of Cordel Literature as an effective pedagogical methodology for promoting meaningful learning. The central focus of this research was the analysis of Cordel literature as a means to construct significant knowledge. Accordingly, the general objective was to analyze the contributions of Cordel as a mediating pedagogical resource and practice in the development of meaningful learning, identifying its main characteristics as well as the aspects that foster integration, participation, and the critical development of students in Basic Education. Specifically, the study aimed to reflect on the foundations of active methodologies and their relationship with meaningful learning; to discuss the potential of Cordel literature as a pedagogical tool in the school context; to explore the use of Cordel as a didactic-pedagogical resource arising from an intervention project; and to evaluate the effects of Cordel's application in the teaching-learning process, considering student engagement, creativity, and participation. Grounded in the works of Oliveira (2005), Andrade (2010), among others, the research adopted a qualitative approach based on an educational intervention project entitled Enchanted Cordel: A Literate World. Data analysis was conducted using the Fedathi Sequence as a methodological framework (SFMAD), referenced by Menezes et al (2024). The results showed that using Cordel in the classroom enhances student engagement, values local culture, and fosters holistic development, proving to be an effective methodology for knowledge mediation and the construction of meaningful learning.
