Commercial software, some possibilities of pedagogical use in the literacy cycle

Abstract

Due to technological advances, it is necessary to reflect on the use of digital Information and communication technologies (DICTs) as pedagogical resources in teaching and learning processes. In this context, the objective of this research was to monitor and analyze the development of learning situations, mediated by digital Information and communication technologies, developed by a teacher of the literacy cycle, realizing the implications of the use of these technologies in the classroom. Therefore, we carried out an action research in a first year class of elementary school of a municipal public school in Imperatriz/MA. During the research we tried to maintain an interaction with the researched school and with the participating subjects in an approximation of the principles proposed by Barbier (2007) and Thiollent (2011) for this type of research. Thus, we developed some learning situations mediated by Digital Technologies, among them we highlight the use of Electronic Spreadsheet and presentation software that proved to be possibilities for the development of authorship, participation and involvement of children in each challenge proposed, thus expressing a sense of belonging and the joy of authorship, in addition to helping children to read and interpret social phenomena and practices, based on everyday situations they experience.
