O AMBIENTE PEDAGÓGICO DA BIBLIOTECA ESCOLAR COMO ESPAÇO CRIATIVO PARA A PRODUÇÃO DE PODCASTS EDUCACIONAIS (The Pedagogical Environment of the School Library as a Creative Space for the Production of Educational Podcasts)

Abstract

This research, developed within the Graduate Program in Teaching for Basic Education (PPG- EnEB), investigates the school library as a space for pedagogical creativity through the production of educational podcasts. Based on the understanding of the school library as a formative environment capable of integrating reading, writing, oral communication, and digital technologies, the study seeks to answer how the production of educational podcasts can redefine the role of the school library and contribute to the development of Creative Learning. The main objective is to analyze the role of the school library as an environment for creativity through the production of educational podcasts. The study adopts a qualitative, descriptive-interpretative approach, combining bibliographic research with empirical investigation conducted in a private school library located in the municipality of Pires do Rio, Goiás, Brazil. The participants were two middle school students and one Portuguese Language teacher. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview conducted in a podcast format and a satisfaction questionnaire administered to the participants. Data analysis was grounded in Pierre Bourdieu’s reflexive sociology, particularly the concepts of field, habitus, and capital, articulated with discussions on Creative Learning and school libraries. As an Educational Product, the podcast channel BibliocastNAescola was developed as a space for authorship, expression, and knowledge production. The findings indicate that the production of educational podcasts fostered student protagonism, expanded opportunities for oral expression and student authorship, strengthened the pedagogical mediation carried out by the school library, and promoted the integration of digital technologies with reading practices. It is concluded that the production of educational podcasts constitutes a pedagogical strategy capable of expanding learning experiences, strengthening student participation, and consolidating the school library as a space for creativity, pedagogical innovation, and collaborative knowledge construction in basic education.
