Letramento digital docente

Abstract

Working in education where the social context is increasingly technological has become very challenging, because it requires teachers to constantly search for knowledge in order to keep up to date in a world that increasingly demands ethical reflections on the use of technology. It is understood that when teachers receive training in the use of digital technology, for example, they show continuous improvement in their teaching practices, making the educational process more dynamic, efficient and inclusive. With this in mind, this research aims to: develop a proposal for teacher training in the use of digital technologies using the Google Sites tool as support; apply the training to teachers and pedagogues from the state education network in the municipality of Londrina-Paraná; discuss the performance of the teachers in the training with emphasis on the following points: the profile of the participants and their familiarity with the use of digital technological resources; performance in the activities proposed in the training and in the preparation of teaching plans. The main theoretical assumptions were based on the studies of the authors Moran (2015), Imbernón (2011) and Dudeney, Hockly and Pegrum (2016), who discuss the importance of teacher training for the use of technology in education, with an emphasis on teacher digital literacy. The type of research used was field research, as recommended by Tozoni-Reis (2009), based on the establishment of six steps: research design, literature review, data collection, data organization, data analysis and interpretation and final writing of the study. The results showed that teacher training is a fundamental element for improving pedagogical practice and when teachers have knowledge of different digital educational tools, they develop digital literacy.
