Inclusão Digital Multimeios (Idm²): uma análise dos projetos de inclusão digital do Laboratório de Pesquisa Multimeios da FACED/UFC

Abstract

This research, "Multimedia Digital Inclusion (IDM²): an analysis of the Digital Inclusion projects of the FACED/UFC Multimedia Research Laboratory," analyzes the digital inclusion proposal developed by the Laboratório de Pesquisa Multimeios [Multimedia Research Laboratory] (MM) of Faculdade de Educação [School of Education] (FACED) of the Universidade Federal do Ceará [Federal University of Ceará] (UFC). The study is based on the observation that the networked society, permeated by Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs), presents challenges such as digital exclusion, often exacerbated by projects that lack sustainability and community participation. The main goal was to analyze the MM's approach to digital inclusion, in order to understand how it differs from conventional models, which often result in the scrapping of equipment. Developed through a qualitative and descriptive study, with bibliographic and documentary research in the laboratory's archives, the research demonstrates that the MM/UFC's methodological proposal is educational in nature. This approach, based on the Fedathi Sequence, seeks to construct knowledge based on the student's reality and adapts to different social and cultural contexts, combating the lack of sustainability and underutilization of technological spaces. Results point that this proposal can contribute to a deeper reflection on digital inclusion and its development processes, in addition to serving as a basis for the development of more effective public policies for society.
