School with no party

a reflection about the teaching-learning process on the formation of a (a)critical citizen and the (in)visibility of the information and communication technologies (ICT)

Abstract

All pedagogies of the XXI Century point to a learning and teaching process that stimulates the formation of a critical citizen inside and outside the walls of schools (CARBONELL, 2016). Efforts from MEC (Ministry of Education and Culture) on providing continuous education for teachers frompublic schools, through courses like Media in Education and Information Communication Technology in Educations, have led the use of media and technologies for the knowledge construction that enable the learner to be autonomous, creative, reflexive and critical. However, the Law Project Escola semPartido (LAW PROJECT OF SENATE nº 193 from 2016) aims exactly the opposite: make students and teachers go backwards on the way they build knowledge, making them acritical and voiceless. Schools and teachers have so many urgent problems to solvethat important and crucial laws like this one passes by unnoticed and, many times, without the participation of specialized professionals neither the protagonists – those who will be directly influenced by those regulations. This work aims at describing the contemporary pedagogies through a bibliographical study and discusses the use of ICT as critical learning resource, as well as reinforces the importance of the teachers’ role and participation on political issues such as the implementation of this Law. This is important, since the lawhas already been approved in three cities of Alagoas and is under discussion inother five States of Brazil. We carried out a survey to find out what some professionals who have been working with teachers’ formation on online courses from Public Institutions (UFPel, IFSul, FURG e IFRS) in the cities of Pelotas and Rio Grandethink of the Law Project Escola semPartido and how this regulation would influence the use of ICT as educational and learning resource for teachers.
