Webcomic educativa: o uso do quadrinho digital como ferramenta de ensino

Abstract

This work aims to explore the use of digital comics (webcomics) as a teaching material in the classroom, by proposing a system that guides the choice of material to be worked, its use and evaluation, based on ergonomic, pedagogical and communicational criteria. An exploratory approach is used to verify how the educator should act to offer a webcomic-supported educational opportunity. To that end, the proposed methodology was applied in an experiment in four classes in a 5th grade elementary school group, with the webcomic "Atravessando a rua", by Liandro Roger, in an activity, aiming to work concepts related to education and citizenship in traffic. The research showed the feasibility of working with webcomics in the classroom, but also identified which challenges to overcome so that it can be considered a didactic alternative accepted by society in general.
