Influence of storytelling in early childhood education
This work aims to demonstrate the important influence of storytelling on the comprehensive development of children in early childhood education, focusing primarily on its contribution to encouraging reading. Through an intensive literature review of the BRAPCI and EBSCO databases, we investigated how oral storytelling, dominated by playful and imaginative resources, drives the development of language, cognition, affection, intelligence, talent, and inventiveness, laying the foundation for the satisfaction and habit of reading. At the end of the work, we can observe the role of the storyteller as a mediator in this process, as well as the effective purposes of storytelling and the value of a medium rich in literary experiences to nurture and expand the field for future readers.
Reading encouragement is configured as a practice that can be promoted in any environment and becomes relevant for cognitive, emotional, and social development. It also contributes to the construction of critical thinking and knowledge. In this sense, the general objective was to identify initiatives aimed at promoting reading in public libraries with an innovative character, particularly in the Graciliano Ramos State Public Library. The research is characterized as descriptive with a qualitative nature and employed participant observation as the main data collection strategy. As a result, five reading promotion actions developed by the library were identified: Book Exchange, Literary Tasting, Literary Gossip, Reading Club, and Storytelling. Among these, only one was identified as an innovative action: Literary Gossip. It is concluded that creative strategies such as this contribute to the formation of an active reading community and to the appreciation of public spaces as agents of cultural transformation.
Authorship as a research topic in Brazilian Information Science
This research aims to identify scientific articles indexed in the Information Science Database containing the word authorship in the title. The methodology used descriptive, exploratory and bibliographic research, with scientometric and qualitative-quantitative approaches. Sixty articles were collected and of these, only nine were analyzed because they had definitions of “authorship”. The absence of the concept of “authorship” demonstrates that it is a consolidated notion, evidencing “silent relationships” that do not require conceptual explanation. The results indicated that the definitions have characteristics of similar aspects with diffuse attributes that lead to confusion between “authorship”, as a process, and the author, as the subject of the action.
Document management and environmental sustainability
