Produção de objetos de aprendizagem como possibilidade de carreira para licenciandos

Abstract

Throughout initial teacher training, there is contact with disciplines that include both specific and pedagogical content, so that, together, they prepare the student for his or her professional career. However, the curriculum ends up emphasizing the graduate's activity only in the classroom, restricting his role in the production of learning objects. Considering the impact of learning objects on the educational process and the career opportunities that exist in this area for teachers, we sought to verify whether the production of these objects is seen as a possibility of professional activity by undergraduate students of the Biological Sciences course at the Federal University of Ceará, as well as identifying in the curriculum the existence of subjects focused on the production of these objects. To this end, the course's curricular structure was analyzed and the perceptions of students enrolled in the Course Completion Work were evaluated through content analysis of the responses to an electronic questionnaire sent to them by email. It was concluded that, although students know and use learning objects in the classroom, they do not see the production of these materials as a career possibility. This demonstrates little articulation of the disciplines, which results in a graduate who, despite being qualified, does not understand the different ways of applying his skills.
