Letramentos acadêmicos em comunidades de prática: culturas disciplinares
2016
Academic writing pedagogical practices require knowledge of literacy practices pertinent to different disciplinary contexts in academia. Based on this assumption, we mapped academic literacies in seven disciplinary communities: Education, Linguistics (Humanities), Physics, Zoology (Natural and Exact Sciences), Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mechatronics (Technologies). We analyzed, in 466 Lattes profiles, the written production of well-known researchers in Brazilian institutions from 2012 to 2015. We considered five categories: 1) field of knowledge; 2) geographic distribution; 3) gender; 4) type of research scholarship; and 5) publication frequency. Our results indicate differences among areas, which are associated to disciplinary communities’ particularities, and different genres in the participants’ Legitimate Peripheral Participation. We understand that proposals for the teaching of writing that aim at achieving better scientific production may benefit from genre analyses focused on the practices of specific communities, within the perspective of situated teaching and learning.
