Da fragmentação às práticas integradoras: contribuições da informática educativa à educação em tempos de complexidade

Abstract

The thesis research the issue of school insertion on the knowledge society in the context of cyberculture , due to the crescent distance between the school educative practices and the social media universe of contemporary culture in which students are placed. Using the theoretical references of the foundation of the Complexity Theory from what became known as the complex paradigm of Edgar Morin. From this context, aims to reflect on the need to broaden perspectives on the knowledge required to overcome the fragmenting paradigm. It comes from the hypothesis that the educational practices permeated by technology, when based upon a complex paradigm, may oper new possibilities for overcoming the promotion of pedagogic shift towards a new more dynamic, creative and integrative educational paradigm. Investigates the use of information technology in education can indeed contribute to the needed education reforms in times of complexity. Having the Colégio Pedro II as the space research, the research was developed in two phases, and aimed to understand the movement of the Colégio Pedro II to fit and meet the educational demands of contemporary society undergoing rapid transformation and immersed in the Convergence Culture . Analyzes the development and appropriation of technologies in the educational process by the docent body of the school and how this has occurred in the institution practices. A qualitative exploratory research in character, has as its scenario of investigation the educative technology of information laboratories (multimedia space with internet connection) in both 1st and 2nd levels of primary school and the activities developed through the performance of teachers on computers, in partnership or otherwise, with the teachers of other disciplines. For data analysis concepts of Complexity Theory , the Organizing Tetragrammaton and the Operators of Complexity were used. The empirical material extracted from document analysis and interviews on practices carried out in the Colégio Pedro II laboratory results in mapping the different ways of structuring the pedagogical work of the laboratories, analysis of teaching cycle: planning, implementation and evaluation. The exploratory field research, at first in descriptive character, shall emphasize progressively the qualitative character of the research, thus aiming to offer more visibility to the actual state of educational information technology for Colégio Pedro II. The research analyzes developed in the school reality where we are , which is the practice of interdisciplinarity towards the transdiciplinarity. Transdiciplinarity, in many ways, still represents a pedagogic utopia in the formal context of Brazilian system of education, which is clearly fragmented.
