Letramento digital no estágio supervisionado obrigatório em ensino de língua materna

Abstract

The present dissertation investigates discourses about digital literacy by teachers during their undergraduation courses on the supervised internships degree for language teaching course in the Universidade Federal do Tocantins –UFT, aiming to analyze how the teaching practices that focus the digital tools are themed. Furthermore, we are interested in seeing how a teacher degree is mobilized to fit a current need for professional formation: teachers that are able to work critically with the digital as a resource in the teaching-learning process of teaching mother language. Characterized as a participation research, it was done an intervention in the first half of 2012 in a class of “Investigação da Prática Pedagógica e Estágio Supervisionado em Ensino de Língua Portuguesa III: Língua e Literatura" with the objective of discussing practical and theoretical issues about digital literacy. We took as corpus the reports made on supervised internships that are filed on Centro Interdisciplinar de Memória dos Estágios Supervisionados das Licenciaturas – CIMES made on prior to our intervention process, in the period of 2006 to 2011, in addition to the documents made during our participant research. These documents are meaningful by being configured as reflexive writing, which points to a critical look over the educational context and the teaching object taken by the ‘in formation teachers’ itself. This research, based on the interdisciplinar perspective of the applied linguistics, takes as starting point the contributions of the studies about the new literacies by privileging the discussion about the reconfiguration of the ethos of school, teacher and student, mainly supported by the new relation with the knowledge afforded by the digital technologies. We also aimed for basing on the studies about the professional knowledges, in order to investigate how the construction of teacher knowledge occurs about digital literacy at the moment of its insertion on practices of teaching during their undergraduation formation – the supervised internship. For linguistics analisys of the data, we have made use of Sistemic Functional Linguistics’ categories, more accurately, the Transitivity system, in a way we can investigate the participants and process thematized on the reports. Focusing on the discourses about teaching practices that appropriate of the digital in the internship reports, the disciplinary and experiential knowledges inform the approach of ICT in the mother language classes. The reports produced from the intervention appropriate more broadly of discussions about digital resource and education, showing that both the knowledge related to the experience in teaching as those acquired in the professional education process contribute to the construction of pedagogical practices in function of the digital literacy. Some challenges evidence from the start when discussing the digital in teacher education: it is necessary to know / recognize that some undergraduate teachers do not even have access to digital tools. However, problematizing the digital literacy goes beyond the mere access: it interests us the use that is made of hipermodal tools and how the processes of reading and writing are reconfigured from a new support. From the analysis of the data we realized that the studentteacher takes a more critical and reflective look at the use of ICT in teaching aiming the problematization of the digital literacy in their initial formation. The developed practices point to one use of digital resources in teaching mother language that can be considered as innovative as they are triggered educational activities reconfigured depending on the object of teaching, the context of action, envolved social actors and the used pedagogical tools. The academic environment needs to problematize some discussions on aspects of teaching that are emerging in educational practices, with a view to a critical stance of future teachers front of instituted pedagogical challenges. This work contributes for the cientific investigations developed on the research group: “Práticas de Linguagens em Estágios Supervisionados” – PLES (CNPq/UFT).
