Luz, câmera, assimetria na inter-ação: funções do professor assumidas por alunos

Abstract

The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate student-student interaction when a teacher is absent. Secondly, we observed how those students react to activities in the digital literacy process, present in a well-structured environment designed for teaching new technologies. We collected the data in a workshop of digital media production, given by the researcher at a Minas Gerais’ state public school through the “Reiventando o Ensino Médio” Program. We used a mixed methods’ approach and, as a methodological tool, the Conversation Analysis (SACKS, SCHEGLOFF E JEFFERSON, 1974; 2003). The results showed that, when the teacher is absent, there was asymmetry to the extent that students assumed the function of “animating” (DABENE, 1984), which is commonly attributed to teachers.
