O trabalho docente na formação inicial de professores da UEG: uma perspectiva crítica sobre as tecnologias

Abstract

This study is linked to the Research Line: Education, School, and Technologies; Thematic Axis: Teacher Training, of the Stricto Sensu Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Education, Language, and Technologies — PPG-IELT, of the Universidade Estadual de Goióas — UEG. Its object of study was the teaching work in initial teacher training mediated by technologies at UEG, Central Campus (CET and CSEH). The research was guided by the following question: how has the technology mediated teaching work occurred in the initial formation of teachers in UEG’s undergraduate courses? To this end, the existing relationship between technology and education was outlined, bringing into focus the conception of technology in its meaning from a dialectical perspective, thus understanding it as a phenomenon of culture, knowledge, and actions produced by men to meet their needs. Methodologically, the research was planned under a qualitative perspective, with exploratory research, using document analysis and interviews with semi- structured questions as instruments for data collection. In this research, the data revealed a critical

posture of its participants, with technology posed as a human production and the exchange of technology given by a depletion of a previous one, replaced by another due to the historical context, with the pandemic being a significant milestone for this movement. It was found that this understanding can be achieved through a comprehensive and humanizing education, so that the teachers have autonomy in their work. Another fact is that quality education is not linked to the quantity of technological resources or to a teacher’s ability to use it, but to a human, comprehensive, and emancipatory education, with work as the central axis. The conclusion is that it is possible to have a quality UEG in its totality, as long as the institution guarantees to all its units located in the interior an effective teaching staff, the ones who have exclusive dedication bonds and a solid career plan, valuing them with the possibility to exercise their teaching work with the structure to experience the tripod that grounds the university: teaching, research, and extension.
