Abstract

The attempt to combine critical education with an urgent theme of our times – the dissemination of fake news and the conditions that make it so irresistible – is the subject enclosed in the pages of this short dissertation. This is a research developed within the Professional and Technological Education Graduate Program, which had as subjects, precisely, students from this Network, more specifically, from Integrated High School. The study is qualitative and based on Freirean critical education, from which, using the case study as a research method, it sought to analyze how is the reception and use of news information by young people of school age at the Campus Ceres of the Instituto Federal Goiano (a Federal Institute located in the state of Goiás), observing their relationship with fake news and post-truth. With the tools brought by the theories of EPT and critical education, our study developed an intervention proposal, in the workshop format, in order to contribute to the improvement of students' critical perception about what is received in the daily flow of information, helping them to discern what is journalistic information from those of false origin, thus hoping for a better condition to exercise their participation as informed citizens. During the intervention, observe how students behave in this media world, their preferences in using and receiving information and how they demonstrate being in tune with reality. Finally, applied and evaluated through the execution of this research, the workshop, called Post-truth and fake news: to understand, it is substantiated in an educational product, which can be used by teachers and other interested parties, contributing to greater awareness about the dangers of false information and how to recognize and neutralize it in our daily lives. The dissertation is written using literary journalism techniques, with the intention of bringing a text that is uncomplicated and fluid to read.
