Avaliação da Política de Inovação Educação Conectada em uma instituição pública de Aquiraz: como o uso da tecnologia contribui com a aprendizagem das crianças e na promoção de um ambiente educacional inovador

Abstract

This work was developed within the scope of the Professional Master's Degree in Public Policy Evaluation (MAPP) with the general objective of evaluating the Connected Education Innovation Policy and the use of technological resources in the teaching and learning process of preschool children in the city of Aquiraz/CE. To meet this objective, this work was based on documents such as the National Education Plan - PNE (2014), National Common Curricular Base - BNCC (2018), Guidelines and Base Law (1996), Connected Education Innovation Policy (2017-2021), considered normative for Brazilian education, and was supported by the school guiding document, Pedagogical Political Project (2024), among others. In order to conduct counter hegemonic research, in the confrontation of norms, ideas and practices, this work was based on the studies of Kenski (2012) with subjects related to technical-digital mediation and its reflections on teaching, Moran (2018) with a focus on technologies and pedagogical mediation, Nóvoa (2019) and teacher training, Soares (2002) education and digital literacy, Paulo Freire (2009) who reflects on innovative teaching, among others. Methodologically, this research has a qualitative approach, having adopted bibliographic and documentary research, participant observation and semi-structured interviews as data collection procedures. Data analysis was guided by the discourse analysis explored by Orlandi (2009). The results showed that high-speed internet, as proposed by the evaluated policy, has not yet reached the educational institution with the desired quality. The use of technologies in pedagogical practices in early childhood education with the aim of promoting meaningful learning is propagated differently by each teacher. Interest and engagement among children in the use of digital technologies during classes was demonstrated, but it did not prove to be an effective way of changing teaching and learning. The research finally points to the need for continued training of teachers to improve the practices of digital technologies, which they have not received since the COVID-19 Pandemic (2020). It is recommended that the Municipal Department of Education of Aquiraz prioritize the training of teachers in the network in digital technologies, ensuring not only the provision of practical training, but also the adequate infrastructure for its application.
