A mediação no uso das tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação nos cursos de formação de professores a distância

Abstract

This research aims to expose about the study on mediation in the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDICs) in distance learning teacher education courses. It is well known that TDICs are now widely inserted in society, but in the school environment, these technologies still seem to have a certain distance from the classroom. This research was characterized as documentary bibliographic research, seeking to deepen the studies of several authors, such as: Vygotsky (2000, 2001), Libâneo (2012, 2011), D'Ávila (2008), Oliveira (2005), Freitas (2013) , Peixoto (2011) and Toschi (2010). The application of this research was qualitative. Initially, there was the need for a historical survey on teacher training in Brazil, as well as the legislation that governs and establishes the guidelines regarding teacher training courses, specifically the Distance Education Pedagogy course. Then there was the need to conceptualize technologies taking a brief historical path to reach the terminology TDICs, thus knowing the available tools and their applicability in the teaching-learning process. As it is a research focused on teacher education, it was expected a moment of discussion about the use of these digital tools in virtual learning environments, especially in the courses offered in the distance learning modality. This research was concluded with the concept of pedagogical mediation and its contribution in virtual learning environments.
