Abstract

The present dissertation explains the results of a qualitative research, social and participant character, focusing on the continuing education of teachers of two establishments of Basic Education, in the use of new information and communication technologies (ICT), more specifically, Web 2.0 tools to assist in the production of virtual museums. For this, was developed the course named "Virtual Museum at the School: organization of collections mediated for Web 2.0 resources," educational product resulting of the readings taken through the literature review. It was defined as a starting point the following questions: The virtual museum can be used in schools as a tool to aid the organization and reading of objects and documents in the online context? How the Basic Education teachers can improve their classes, by way of virtual museum, as well as participate in the discussion of their use? This approach is justified as the possibility of teaching reflection on their practice, searching for alternatives that respect for the collaborative and multidisciplinary work. Therefore, it is considered important to analyze the use of the virtual museum as an educational resource from the various dimensions of human production. So it was offered the course for teachers of different subjects, promoting enriching discussions, valuing different reality views. It was adopted as an epistemological procedure the didactic for a Historical-Critical Pedagogy, so that the teachers of the course were motivated to transform your practice attitude. The results obtained attest to the need for continuing education as proposed in this work, with a view to the character of incompleteness that involves the human being, beyond the traditional conceptions that considered the teacher the center of knowledge historically accumulated. It is expect, therefore, that the research presented here contribute to the discussions involving not only the creation of virtual museums in school, but also the formation of reflective professionals as a way for the transformation of teaching practice.
