Reflexividade docente em formação continuada on-line para a utilização de realidade virtual no ensino de geografia

Abstract

In the context of contemporary society, cyberspace is increasingly linked to people's daily lives, and, along with this, possibilities and challenges arise from cyberculture. Considering these aspects in the educational context and the need for the school community to be part of this reality, the present work aimed to analyze how an online continuing education, with the use of digital technologies, represented by VR in teaching practices in Geography, can contribute to the teachers’ reflexivity on their school teaching practices. To this end, qualitative research was carried out, guided by collaborative research, in which data collection took place, through theoretical research and training offered in an online environment, analysis and systematization, based on interactivity and teacher reflexivity and results. It was observed that the teacher-participants, at the end of the training, had, through interactivity and reflexivity, the perception that VR can enhance the understanding of spaces, landscapes, places and diverse phenomena. It was also verified the need for training in and for cyberculture, in addition to the possibility of expanding the training offered.
