Educomunicação e educação básica: uma intervenção social através do curso de formação para professores(as) no Colégio Estadual Doutor Roberval Beheregaray Azevedo na Cidade de Uruguaiana/RS

Abstract

This research aims to discuss how communication and education help teachers in the construction of knowledge. Thus, the general objective is to investigate how educommunication, through a continuing training course – on the topics of entrepreneurial life project, podcast, professional curriculum, and academic curriculum – helps to develop educommunicational practices in the classroom. The specific objectives are: to characterize the main theories that support educommunication practices in basic education; examine how educational technologies promote possible improvements in a state school in Uruguaiana/RS; analyze the training course as a technological resource for activities related to education; and verify the influence of educommunication on mediation processes, at school level, based on field research data. Therefore, the following references support the research: Soares (2011), which presents fundamentals about educommunication; Kaplún (1998), which presents how educommunication can be developed in the educational context; Freire (1996) and Tardif (2014), which address the relationships between teaching and education, as well as teacher training. Regarding the methodological perspective, the study was developed according to Bogdan and Biklen (1994) and Gil (2009), through participatory research, initially with the application of questionnaires about the interests of teachers, to, based on the responses, develop a training course with teachers from the researched school. As results, it is clear that, from a continuing education course, through educommunication, practices are provided that help in the development of teaching processes in the classroom, especially in the subjects of entrepreneurial life project, podcast, academic, and professional curriculum. Therefore, it is concluded that the discussions in this thesis address pedagogical contributions by proposing to teachers a continuing education course focused on educommunicational practices.
