El uso de redes sociales en la práctica educativa de una asignatura de postgrado: una investigación sobre el uso de las TRIC

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the use of Information and Communication, Relationship and Technologies (ICRT) in a discipline of the Postgraduate Program of the Faculty of Education in Brazil. The ICRTs were used systematically in the meetings of the discipline and with social networks being the only environment used for communications and pedagogical practices. Online meetings were carried out in a synchronous manner and so that all students could communicate and interact in the virtual environment in a democratic way. The teacher applied three techniques, which he considered essential for the proper development of activities, they are: calibration, variability and collaboration. This study presents the results and perceptions about the use of ICRTs in a teaching-learning process that used technologies to promote an education that can really make a difference for our students. The methodology of the research carried out in the study was that of action research, in which the teacher uses the teaching-learning process as a research activity, ceasing to be a passive observer of the execution of the proposed activities to assume a participation position, reflection and constant change in the way it acts.
