Design Thinking: estratégia para estímulo à literatura por alunos e professores

This article describes and analyzes a prototype conducted in a secondary level public school in the city of Sao Paulo with the purpose of sensitizing students towards reading classic literature works. The prototype used strategies based upon Project- and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Design Thinking. Through these, students and teachers created and implemented various actions aimed at the proposed goal. Once the prototype was concluded, teachers and students answered questionnaires to assess the process and results achieved. Results indicate that the prototype was successful in showing students what aspects are involved in choosing literary works for reading, and in sensitizing and mobilizing them towards reading classic works.
