The princess who saw everything: Cognition and Creativity in Literacy

When it comes to literacy, the spotlight is on discussions about teaching practices, contrasting theories with methodological strategies. These discussions do not contribute to the development of teaching. Students' cognitive and creative processes are marginalised by disputes over preferences, which occur between methodological strategies. When it comes to literacy, learners are constantly learning, activating their cognitive processes, which are biological and cultural, and at the same time, creativity emerges. When students see themselves as whole beings - biological/logical beings - their view of the world around them broadens, making them even more human. The princess who saw everything is a tale from oral tradition, used in this book as a tool to understand and explain the bio-cultural aspects that lead to literacy. May the teacher glimpse the new, a new way of thinking about the subject of knowledge, in the sense of integrating and not destroying the possibilities of creativity in knowledge, nor the wonderful humanity that arises in each literate student!
