Ensino de língua portuguesa apoiada por tecnologias de inteligência artificial

Abstract

In the current scenario, Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) have been changing the ways of relating, communicating, informing, and also learning. In education, digital culture has been valued due to its presence in the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC). Among these technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are integrated into digital culture, and their adoption in education is steadily increasing. Thus, it is important for basic education teachers, including Portuguese language teachers, to become familiar with them. The objective of this study is to propose uses of these technologies for teaching the Portuguese language. Additionally, the study aims to identify bibliographic references on the teaching of Portuguese mediated by DICT; identify bibliographic references on Artificial Intelligence applied in education; propose a didactic sequence for teaching Portuguese with the help of AI tools; and critically examine the use of AI tools in teaching Portuguese. To achieve this, the research adopts a qualitative approach (prioritizing understanding of AI applied to teaching, rather than focusing on numerical representativeness) and has an applied nature (proposing practical applications of AI that contribute to teaching the Portuguese language). As for the procedures, the following steps were carried out: literature review, identification of AI tools for teaching Portuguese, and development of a didatic sequence using AI. Among the results obtained are demonstrating the effectiveness of AI as a tool for teachers support and as a tool for teaching language practices aligned with contemporary digital culture. The main result obtained was to demonstrate the effectiveness of adopting an AI tool in the development of this didactic sequence for teaching Portuguese. As future work, we propose the application of this sequence in the classroom.
