A formação continuada de professores para atuação na cibercultura: contribuições de um curso de extensão à luz das competências digitais

Abstract

The present research sought to analyze the contributions of an online extension course of continuing education offered to teachers of the public state network of Tocantins, in the region of Arraias, with a view to the development of digital skills to act in cyberculture. With the ubiquity of ICTs, it is emergent that continuing education be given a new meaning and that the integration of digital technologies in the educational process be present, contributing to the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes (KBS), especially when faced with the demands imposed by the knowledge society, which requires trained teachers to meet students who are increasingly immersed in the digital culture. To this end, an extension course was offered in the online modality, with the voluntary participation of five teachers. The theoretical foundation consisted of an RSL, in order to survey how research has addressed the continuing education of teachers for the use of ICT. As for the methodological approach, this is a qualitative research. To do so, the following instruments were used: a Google Forms registration form, workshops teaching the use of Google Classroom, Jamboard, Padlet, Google sites and Superlogo 3.0 software. The results indicated that the re-signification of continuing education provided the expansion of the knowledge of the teacher-curriculants beyond theory, allying it considerably to the practice and daily routine of the classroom. Thus, this research has contributed to the teacher education process, providing spaces for discussion, reflection, and sharing of experiences among peers and researchers.
