O uso de vodcasts na formação inicial de professores de Ciências Biológicas do IFTM

Abstract

This study analyzed the use of the vodcast as a pedagogical tool in the subject of Fundamentals of Mathematics and its possibilities in the initial training of Biological Sciences teachers, focused on the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT), guided by Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). It fits into the Educational Spaces and Training Processes of the (UFTM) research axis, whose research is part of Scientific dissemination in the Triângulo Mineiro: investigating knowledges and practices. We initially presented the concept and history of the podcast and its derivatives, including the vodcast. We also proposed a possible taxonomy for the use of vodcasts. We developed a workshop to guide teachers through the production of vodcasts and their characteristics. We therefore showed the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) in practice and evaluated the use of vodcasts in this process. The analysis tool used was Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA) according to Moraes and Galiazzi. The data was collected through focus group interviews. The results indicated that the production of the vodcast encouraged the undergraduates to deepen their studies of the content presented and enabled significant creativity in both the production and presentation of the subjects. It was observed that the process of producing the vodcast proved to be a very useful tool, especially in overcoming shyness and developing the orality of the interviewees. We conclude that the vodcast is a good pedagogical tool that can be used in both the learning and teaching processes. From the perspective of our interviewees, it is necessary for the academy to offer more subjects that bring pedagogical knowledge and technological knowledge closer together in their initial training, as well as more continuing training courses that include this knowledge.
