Desenvolvimento profissional docente no contexto da aprendizagem ubíqua: um modelo para o ciclo de formação continuada

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the contribution of a proposed model for the continuing training program for teachers considering the context of ubiquitous learning. To do this we sought to investigate the changes that have occurred in the views, expressed in the pedagogical practices of teachers about the use of tablets and their applications (Apps) as supporting elements of ubiquitous learning, with the scenario from the ongoing education. Held in a private educational school located in Porto Alegre, its pedagogical proposal seeks to encourage innovation and emphasizes the use of digital and mobile technologies (tablets) as a working element for teachers and students. The qualitative approach supported by a case study was the strategy adopted to conduct the investigation. The research subjects were the holders teachers of Kindgarden and elementary school who participated in continuing education at school service using the proposed model. Data were collected by semi-structured questionnaire, interview and direct observation. We have used the methodology of discursive textual analysis, of Moraes and Galiazzi (2011), for data analysis. For theoretical foundation considered the work of Santaella (2003; 2007; 2010a; 2010b; 2013), Nóvoa (1992; 2007; 2009; 2012), Nóvoa and Bandeira (2005), García (1999), Libâneo (1998; 2001; 2010), Castells (1999; 2003) and Lévy (1990; 1998; 1999; 2011). The study showed that after applying the proposed model there were indicators that the context of ubiquitous learning began to occur in a systematic manner even after completion of the training period for teachers. In short, there were changes in teaching practices that allow adoption in different levels of the use of digital technologies and creation of pedagogical practices developed by teachers associated with the use of tablets. It is expected that this research will contribute to the reflection of educational processes and practices regarding the adoption of mobile technologies from the possibilities offered by ubiquitous communication in the current context of cyberculture and provide elements that can collaborate on future work in training line, Policies and Practices in Education to which this research is linked.
