A CRIAÇÃO DE HISTÓRIA EM QUADRINHOS UTILIZANDO TECNOLOGIAS DIGITAIS: PERSPECTIVAS DA FORMAÇÃO OMNILATERAL

Abstract

After decades of rejection, comic books have been incorporated into the school environment as a didactic resource capable of awakening students' critical sense. Their scope provides differentiated teaching, capable of re-signifying the "reading of the world" and, consequently, promoting education in all its dimensions. In support of these principles, this research aimed to develop methodological strategies for creating comic books using digital tools and the theme of Feminism, during a course for integrated high school students at the Ceres campus of IF Goiano, from the perspective of unilateral education. The objective was to answer the following question: Does the creation of comic books using digital tools offer perspectives and possibilities for meaningful learning/unilateral education? This is an interventionist study, of applied nature and qualitative approach. The participants were students from the technical courses integrated into secondary education (Agriculture, IT for the Internet, and the Environment), second series, at the Ceres campus of IF Goiano. Throughout the research, three intervention instruments were applied: a Teaching Project (course modality), a Cycle of Lectures, and a Practical Workshop. Four digital tools for creating comic books were selected and applied, three for online narrative development (Make Beliefs Comix, StoryboardThat, and Pixton), and a mobile application (Comica). For analysis, we used the data triangulation method, considering various data collection instruments (questionnaires, interviews, synchronous moments, lecture series, practical workshops, activities developed in the course, and, above all, the comic books produced). The results of the research showed that the universe of comic books, especially comic book production, contributes to the critical and integral formation of students, as they use technology to decode and encode their "place of speech," highlighting and discussing social questions, such as Feminism. The effects of the interventions were noticeable both in the comic books produced and in the excerpts from discursive activities, revealing "literacy" and appropriation of the language of comic books, as well as a critical perception of the Feminism theme. The educational product was developed in the course format, on the Moodle platform of IF Goiano, aiming to strengthen pedagogical practices in integrated secondary education, expand the possibilities of unilateral training in Professional and Technological Education, and, above all, aspire to another model of society, beyond common sense.
