Abstract

The methodological practice of Portuguese Language teacher in textual production classes is this dissertation study object. School challenges are analyzed in the scenario of digital inclusion propitiated by the use of computers and the internet as well as the integration of these technologies in the teaching practices of educators. The rationale for conducting this was based on the possibility to reflect on the need to improve the methodological practices that promote digital inclusion in the teaching practice. The use of technologies such as object of study expanded in Brazil, especially in recent decades, signaling the need for adaptation to the virtual sphere as a possibility for innovation and inserting them in the teaching and learning process. With the intensification of digital habits, ease and rapid cybernetic interaction, begin to require new pedagogical practices that are adapted to the sociocultural context. In this work we have adopted as the theoretical propositions of scholars as Bortoni (2008); Bakhtin (1995, 2002); Castells (2003, 2005); Freire (1987, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2011); Ferreira (1993); Gusmão (1997); Lévy (1999, 1998), Xavier (2005); Marcuschi (2008); Soares (2002, 2006); Vasconcellos (2005), Kensky (2004, 2007, 2008), Gatti (2010, 2013), Rojo (2009), among others. As a methodological assumption used the action research, conducting a study in which they were research subjects twenty-one students and the teacher of Portuguese. The locus of the research was public school in the municipality of Cacimba de Dentro.PB. As a result this study showed the feasibility of using virtual spaces as learning environment, such as the Facebook group, used as a methodological tool for textual content production and include digital literacy at school. Here also the end product of the Master - MPFP: a manual with the teaching sequence developed in the research as a methodological support for the teacher perform reading and textual production practices. The product will enable other educators resize forms of teaching and learning approaching the interests of learners in the virtual space to not only letrar but multiletrar. Therefore, we hope to expand the ways to ensure the students some technological training in the learning process.
