Educação e tecnologias digitais: a transmídia como ferramenta para formação continuada de professores

Abstract

With the challenge of contemporaneity, technological resources are increasingly present in the classroom and in the daily lives of students, justifying the importance of training and instrumentalizing teachers in the use of DICTs (digital information and communication technologies). These new technologies facilitated the use of transmedia in school environments. Transmedia makes it possible for content to start in one medium and expand to another. Thus, each medium appropriates what it does best. Considered a great tool for integrating technologies and content, transmedia has been increasingly used in the context of education. The aim of this article is to analyze the relationship between early childhood education teachers and digital technologies and transmedia through continuing education. This study is qualitative research, using action research as a methodological procedure. As main results, the need for more continuing education was identified that would deepen the theme with teachers, emphasizing the importance of implementing continuous programs that analyze in depth the social, cultural, and economic contexts in which students, teachers and other professionals involved in educational institutions are present.
