Rescuing Portuguese: for a different neuroplasticity

Abstract

Abstract: Through an experience report, we showed an example of educational and inclusive action, directed to young people from public high school in the context of scientific initiation that has been practiced at the House of Science of Ribeirão Preto-SP, in collaboration with the University of São Paulo (USP). As justification for the development of this study, the scientific initiation can be seen as a tool that can be incorporated into the procedure of improving the quality of education in different fields of knowledge, in this particular case, referring to the teaching process in Portuguese language learning. Therefore, the research methodology employed in the present study was the experience report that translates into a text about a given experience that may contribute prominently to a particular field of action. We used the CalcuLetra software capable of determining the relative difficulty of textual comprehension to promote the assimilation of unusual words of the language and their subsequent incorporation into the students' linguistic repertoire. We concluded that the use of metacognitive strategies benefits learning, promoting the development of cognition and superior psychological functions regardless of age and limitations arising from the subject himself in order to overcome them.
