Objetos de aprendizagem: reflexões e construção de sequências didáticas para a Educação Infantil

Abstract

We live in a connected society and at every moment new discoveries are made and shared, and the advent of Digital Information and Communication Technology has brought new parameters for these shares. Thus, it is necessary to go beyond the appropriation of technological resources on the part of education professionals, as it is necessary to reflect on their possibilities of use and pedagogical potentialities, attaching them in their plans to allow, thus, a dialogue with knowledge of the world of their students. This research has the general objective of elaborating Didactic Sequences, highlighting the use of Learning Objects aimed at Early Childhood Education, making them available through an e-book, which will serve as reference material to be used in full by teachers, or to serve of inspiration for the construction of new Didactic Sequences. The methodology used is based on a qualitative approach, using nuances of action research and combining theory and practice, held at the Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education Professor Antônia Fernanda Jalles (CMEI-Fernanda Jalles), located in the Municipality of Natal / RN. Among the phases of elaboration of the methodology of this research, the following stand out: survey, categorization and analysis of the Digital Repositories that have Learning Objects destined for children of Early Childhood Education; interview with CMEI professionals Fernanda Jalles; workshop with research participants on Digital Repositories and Learning Objects and application of questionnaires to assess the perception of those involved. As a result of the work, it can be said that there is still a long way to go with regard to the use of digital resources in early childhood education. The systematic review pointed to the need for further studies on Digital Technology and Early Childhood Education, whether through use, planning or professional training. Another data observed is related to the difficulty of finding Learning Objects produced specifically to meet the learning characteristics and demands of the researched teaching stage, resulting in the need to adapt the existing Learning Objects, in addition to little dissemination in relation to Digital Repositories, which makes it more difficult to use Learning Objects. The analysis of the results showed that the research participants are favorable to the use of Learning Objects in the planning and access of children of pre-school age to technological resources. It was also possible to conclude that the realization of the workshop was well evaluated and the proposed e-book was well received, so that it can be used not only in the research field, but by other professionals in Early Childhood Education.
