As redes sociais no desenvolvimento da prática pedagógica: experiência em uma escola de Mata de São João

Abstract

The debate about the use of technologies as an important means of promoting and disseminating culture, entertainment, cultural pedagogies and learning has been gaining strength in society. The inclusion of various social networks in the teaching-learning process is still a challenging reality in public schools. This thesis envisioned as a research problem the way in which social networks, with their socialization characteristics, provide optimization of the teaching-learning process. The general objective of the research was to analyze the integration of social networks in the teaching-learning process, at Escola Valdete Seixas de Mata de São João-BA. Specifically, it sought to a) identify the way in which teachers incorporate the use of social networks into their pedagogical approaches; b) discuss the pedagogical practices used during the COVID-19 pandemic that benefited from social media support; and c) evaluate whether social networks have the potential to improve the teaching-learning process. And, to carry out this research, the Qualitative Descriptive and Analytical Methodology was defined. Questionnaires were administered and observation was carried out with notes in the field diary of teachers at Escola Valdete Seixas, in the municipality of Mata de São João - Bahia. It was observed that the use of social networks for pedagogical practice was intensified with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, due to the transition from face-to-face classes at school to online classes in 2020 and, consequently, the use of a virtual learning environment, where the indication of internet information sources was identified, although they were not foreseen in the teaching plans. And, given the evidence, it is possible to affirm the construction and implementation of new pedagogical teaching-learning practices.
