Interações de professores com as tecnologias móveis e sem fio em contexto de formação continuada.

Abstract

The theme of this thesis is the use and the interaction with wireless mobile technologies. Its main purpose is to describe and analyze the interactions with these technologies, with participants of the Media in Education course. The study aimed to analyze how such interactions occur and whether they change the relations of the subjects with the technologies, analyzing if these relations present contradictions. In order to carry out the investigation, I built the process based on the theoreticalmethodological principles of netnography (KOZINETS, 2014) and complex thinking (MORIN, 2011a, 2012, 2015, 2016). The thesis is characterized as descriptiveexploratory, as the intention was to describe and analyze the events based on the discussions and opinions of the ones participating in the Media in Education course. To do so, I used of the observation of virtual environments method as well as the application of a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The result of the data analysis was systematized in three axes of investigation: a) the participant subjects suffer the influence of a society that uses the Wireless and Mobile Technologies (WMT), as well as the media course also suffers the influence of these subjects; b) as of different spaces, physical and virtual ones, the participants interacted with the WMT, building a whole seen as the training place; c) the on-site school, where the participants work as teachers, is a space that provides a training place, but, in this space, some participants use the WMT, others do not. The thesis affirms that the interactions of the subjects with the WMT in the Media in Education course, caused the expansion of the spaces used, making them a training place.
