A perspectiva teórica da cibercultura e formação docente na visão dos licenciandos da UFC sobre o Laboratório Interdisciplinar de Formação de Educadores (LIFE): desafios e avanços

Abstract

Aims to understand how undergraduates courses of the UFC experience MDCR (Digital Materials Collaborative Network) proposed training by the Project LIFE (Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Training for Educators) in the theoretical perspective of cyberculture. This training involved copyright collaborative activities (through the development of MDCR), classroom interactions and the distance as well as mobilization of teaching knowledge in line with the principles of the LIFE Project and Cyberculture. Specifically, the study sought to describe how undergraduates participate and appropriate training of LIFE, from their view; identify, with support on the perception of undergraduate students, the teachers knowledge mobilized in training and how these knowledges dialogue with the principles of training LIFE / UFC and cyberculture and see how the development process MDCR, teaching strategies and learning developed by undergraduates are related to the principles of cyberculture. The work expresses theoretical discussions of cyberculture, education, teacher training, teacher knowledge, complexity and interdisciplinarity. It is a qualitative, ethnographic, which had activities in LIFE UFC and a basic vocational school partnership project. Four undergraduates participated in the study four courses of UFC, of both sexes. Research techniques adopted were: participant observation, semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. The results showed that the licensees, nearing completion of the course, externalize the existence of gaps in basic training with regard to teaching practice, particularly in relation to aspects of cyberculture and interdisciplinarity. For undergraduates, LIFE articulated theory and practice and potentiated associated with teaching experiences, mediated ciberculturais and interdisciplinary experiences – in the development of MDCR and established relationship with the partner school students – who want to practice in teaching. It was concluded that the formation LIFE is configured for undergraduates, such as practical training that sought to approximate the design elements of cyberculture and the interdisciplinary school. The study showed, supporting the contributions of undergraduates, the need for discussions within the academy and school policies about the current teacher training.
