First-year students of the evening and afternoon Literature course at Unicamp created reviews, podcasts and videos based on dissertations and theses, as a way of developing writing in the academic-scientific field and skills to disseminate these studies to a wider audience. The 32 works were produced in the discipline HL337 - Textual Production Laboratory II, created in 2019, and will be presented for the first time at a meeting to be held this Friday (18th) and next November 25th.
The works were produced, for the most part, based on research carried out at the Institute of Language Studies (IEL) at Unicamp and/or based on research linked to the humanities. This is the third class that participates in the discipline.
The idea of holding the 2020st Meeting of the Discipline “Text Production Laboratory – LaBTxT” arose because the first two classes – from 2021 and XNUMX – produced a broad collection of scientific dissemination.
The professor at the IEL Linguistics Department and responsible for the subject, Anna Christina Bentes, explains that, with the review, students have the possibility of developing skills and abilities for reading and producing academic texts. Then, by producing podcasts and videos, based on journalistic interviews, they learn how to disseminate these studies to a wider audience, which can be internal or external to the university institution.
“As they are first-year students, this is the first time they have come into contact with a longer academic work, approximately more than a hundred pages long. By reading this research, we allow them to develop reflection and exercise these skills. This way, they come to understand the difference between academic language and communication for a wider audience, without losing the content of the research”, he states.
Throughout the course, pairs of students complete forms that help them understand their difficulties and their learning regarding academic writing and register on the Lattes Platform.
Extension project from 2023
For 2023, the Textual Production Laboratory II subject will be part of the University's extension curricularization proposal, with a mandatory workload for extension orientation activities. With this, it will be possible to share this content with the external community, such as public and private schools.
“We believe that taking this proposal will allow school students to have contact with academic research and understand scientific communication”, said the professor.
As a way of creating bridges with basic education, with extension in mind, the Meeting will also be attended by teachers from public and private schools in Campinas and teachers from the Federal Institute of São Paulo – Sertãozinho campus.
For the professor, this meeting produces an important articulation between teaching, research and extension, the latter included within the scope of scientific dissemination activities, since the guidance of students was also the responsibility of two post-doctoral students, Kennedy Cabral Nobre and Maria Beatriz Gameiro Cordeiro, under the supervision of Anna Bentes.
