O USO DE FERRAMENTAS EDUCACIONAIS NO CONTEXTO DA ESPECIALIZAÇÃO EM FORMAÇÃO PEDAGÓGICA NA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL, CIENTÍFICA E TECNOLÓGICA A DISTÂNCIA DO IF GOIANO

Abstract

Distance Education (DE) has been gaining recognition as an appropriate education modality with the achievement of public policy goals, especially in Brazil, where there is a great geographical dispersion of students. This movement contributes significantly to the modality enabling the use of new methodologies for the dissemination of knowledge. Learning in Distance Education must occur in order to engage students, providing protagonism in the construction of knowledge. In this sense, educators need to feel prepared and know which methods and tools can be most effective in the profile of their class, including the use of active methodologies. By using common technological resources in the information society, for the benefit of the teaching-learning process, it is possible to break the barrier against these technologies and enable their use also for the development of learning itself. The analyzed studies point to some tools that can facilitate the feasibility of methodologies within the virtual distance learning environment. Active Methodologies are tools used with the objective of directing teachers so that they have access, thus assisting in the execution of classes, in order to engage students, providing protagonism in the construction of knowledge. Therefore, it is necessary for teachers to recognize which active methodologies are intended for Distance Education. In this research, the study was developed from the need to promote a greater understanding of the use of educational technological tools and their transformative power in the academic path, and in the learning curve of the students involved, providing more interactive, dynamic classes, enabling greater absorption of the knowledge passed on. For this, the discipline "Interactive Tools in Distance Education" was elaborated, made available to teachers and technical staff of the postgraduate course in pedagogical training for Professional and Technological Education (EPT). This course presented the importance of interactivity in distance education, in addition to some interactive tools that can help in the teaching-learning process.
