APRENDIZAGEM DOCENTE NA ERA DIGITAL: USOS E APROPRIAÇÕES DE APLICATIVOS E SOFTWARES PARA A PRODUÇÃO TEXTUAL NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA.

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) continue to evolve and, in this context, the teaching-learning process needs to adapt to this new scenario, being necessary for teachers to seek “continuing education” that meets this emerging demand. Thus, the present study was developed based on the following problem: What are the potentialities of using digital technologies, applications and educational software for textual production in support of the teaching practice of Basic Education? As a general objective, it was defined: To analyze how teachers can use and appropriate softwares and applications for textual production in Basic Education. The specific objectives were: a) to research the digital technologies present in Basic Education; b) analyze the use of word cloud diagrams applications; c) investigate the appropriations and uses of applications by the teachers in the student's formation; d) explore the uses of technological tools, applications and educational softwares combined to the teaching practice and, e) analyze the use of Applications from the activity proposed within the master's research. In this way, a continuing education course was proposed to Basic Education teachers at a countryside school, in the interior of the state of Paraná, in order to achieve the objectives of this work. The purpose of implementing this course was to provide a theoretical-methodological-practical reflection on the use of applications and software and its possible aid to the student's textual production, combining these educational resources with the tools available at the educational institution.The methodology used was developed studying the enviroment proposed, a bibliographic review of the topics worked on and a qualitative analysis of the collected data. This study was grounded on the reflections of: Moran (2013, 2015, 2018); Sant'Ana and Behrens (2003); Saviani (2008); Costa (2014); Masetto (2013); Munarim (2014); Sancho (2006); Santinello (2009); Flick (2009), Bardin (2016) and Valente (2014, 2018). After, an extension course for continuing education for teachers was created, linked to the Laboratory of Studies in Communication, Education and Technology (LECET / UNICENTRO), of the State University of the Midwest / UNICENTRO. The course had a workload of 100 hours, with university certification, and consisted of 8 in-person and distance stages (via Moodle platform). Based on the analysis instruments, being these the initial and final questionnaires, face-to-face attendance provided to teachers and activities proposed in the course, it was possible to see the advantages of inserting educational technologies in pedagogical practice, using the tools that the school has, in addition highlighting the importance of continuing education, helping significantly and actively the textual production, enabling new experiences and different ways to develop the teaching-learning process.
