Gestão do letramento digital em escolas estaduais de educação profissional

Abstract

The current society demands of the school different challenges to educate our teenagers to present context. One of the challenges is to offer teachers' training to make it possible to build expertise in Information and Communications Tecnologies (ICT). In this context, managers and teachers need account for an educational process whose school curriculum is guided by effects of digital revolution. In State High School of Professional Education in Ceará (EEEP) media resources are available, considering that they are full-time high school and secondary education integrated to a professional one. However, in those schools there is still a gap between social demands and teacher training, considering that they have to account for social insertion and work life. Based on this scenario I define objectives for my dissertation (1) to verify if manager actions in those schools are founded in the understand of the concept of digital literacy and if school managers are digitally literate (2) to check for the managers support incentive policies for the use of media resources in favour of the teachers' digital literacy; (3) to verify if the teachers use media resources as a pedagogical resource; (4) to identify if students are aware of the relevance of use media resources by educators as productive tools for the teaching and learning. My research utilizes as theoretical references the studies of Soares (2002), of Almeida (2005), of Coscarelli and Ribeiro (2007), of Luck (2009), of Freitas (2009), of Bonilla (2010), of Bruno and Mattos (2010). In order to construct an outline of the use of the tecnologies to mediate the educational practices make of document research (monthly activities reports developed in the informatic educational laboratories and integrade action plan) and field research (questionnaire, with open and closed questions applied with managers, teachers and student). From the data collected, I suggest an Educational Plan of Action (PAE) for the schools with the purpose of improve the performance of managers and teachers (teachers that act in laboratories and classroom), with the aim of strengthening the process of teaching and learning in Professional Schools.
