Formação Interdisciplinar Colaborativa (FIC): uma experiência para o desenvolvimento das competências digitais de discentes no contexto universitário cearense

Abstract

The present study was carried out based on an extension project offered by the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), named Collaborative Interdisciplinary Training (FIC) executed in 2023. The purpose consisted in describing the process of the extension project, presented to students at UFC. Initially, it is assumed that the ones involved in this process belonged to the generation known as “digital native”, however, it is valid the reasoning that not all digital natives are digitally included let alone developed the competences to deal with digital resources in order to solve problems related to routine academic activities. Regarding the methodology used, we emphasize that the research has a qualitative approach, as well as being from the empirical and applied type. As results, it was observed the need to deepen the debate about the impact of digital competence in Brazilian higher education, with a focus on the initial qualification of undergraduate students, becoming indispensable that curricular designs for Brazilian higher education are disruptive and seek to increasingly address digital technologies during their academic qualification path.
