| Summary: | <div><strong>RESUMO:</strong></div><div><strong><br /></strong></div><div>O presente estudo procura conhecer o papel da escola básica como agência de letramento digital. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar a prática pedagógica dos professores nos laboratórios de informática, analisando a metodologia empregada e as dificuldades encontradas para ministrar aulas que empreguem os recursos da informática. Essa pesquisa toma como referencial o conceito de nova cultura, definida por Lévy (1999) com o termo cibercultura que postula a necessidade do letramento digital como uma nova habilidade que surge da interconexão mundial entre os computadores com o crescimento do ciberespaço. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que a escola básica pouco auxilia no desenvolvimento do letramento digital, uma vez que os professores subutilizam os laboratórios de informática e demonstram ter ainda pouca familiaridade com as tecnologias digitais e clareza quanto à metodologia utilizada para esta ferramenta. Conclui-se, então, que é preciso investir mais na formação e capacitação dos professores para que a escola básica se constitua efetivamente num local privilegiado para a formação e o desenvolvimento do letramento digital.</div><div></div><div></div><div><strong>PALAVRAS-CHAVE:</strong> Letramento Digital; Escola Básica; Formação Professores;</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><span id="result_box" lang="en"><strong><span class="hps">ABSTRACT:</span></strong><br /><br /> <span class="hps">This study</span> <span class="hps">seeks to understand</span> <span class="hps">the role of</span> <span class="hps">primary education</span> <span class="hps">as agency </span><span class="hps">digital</span> <span class="hps">literacy.</span> <span class="hps">The objective of this</span> <span class="hps">study is to investigate</span> <span class="hps">the pedagogical practice of </span><span class="hps">teachers</span> <span class="hps">in the computer labs</span><span>, analyzing</span> <span class="hps">the methodology used</span> <span class="hps">and</span> <span class="hps">the difficulties encountered in</span> <span class="hps">teaching classes</span> <span class="hps">that employ</span> <span class="hps">the resources of</span><br /> <span class="hps">computer</span><span>.</span> <span class="hps">This research</span> <span class="hps">takes as</span> <span class="hps">reference</span> <span class="hps">the concept of</span> <span class="hps">new culture</span><span>,</span> <span class="hps">defined </span><span class="hps">by Levy</span> <span class="hps">(1999</span><span>)</span> <span class="hps">to the term</span> <span class="hps">cyberculture</span> <span class="hps">that</span> <span class="hps">posits</span> <span class="hps">the need for</span> <span class="hps">literacy </span><span class="hps">digital</span> <span class="hps">as a new</span> <span class="hps">ability that</span> <span class="hps">arises from the</span> <span class="hps">global</span> <span class="hps">interconnection between </span><span class="hps">computers</span> <span class="hps">with the</span> <span class="hps">growth of cyberspace</span><span>.</span> <span class="hps">The survey results</span> <span class="hps">revealed that</span> <span class="hps">the basic</span> <span class="hps">school</span> <span class="hps">little</span> <span class="hps">help</span> <span class="hps">in the development of</span> <span class="hps">digital</span> <span class="hps">literacy</span><span>, as</span> <span class="hps">teachers</span> <span class="hps">underuse</span> <span class="hps">computer labs</span> <span class="hps">and demonstrate</span> <span class="hps">yet have</span> <span class="hps">little familiarity</span> <span class="hps">with digital technologies</span> <span class="hps">and</span> <span class="hps">clarity on the</span> <span class="hps">methodology used</span> <span class="hps">for this tool.</span> <span class="hps">It follows</span><span>, then, that</span> <span class="hps">we must</span> <span class="hps">invest more in</span> <span class="hps">education and training of</span> <span class="hps">teachers</span> <span class="hps">for the</span> <span class="hps">elementary school</span> <span class="hps">is effectively</span> <span class="hps">constitutes</span> <span class="hps">a privileged place</span> <span class="hps">for the formation</span> <span class="hps">and</span> <span class="hps">the development of digital</span> <span class="hps">literacy.</span></span></div><div><span id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"> </span><br /><br /> <strong><span class="hps">KEYWORDS</span>: </strong><span class="hps">Digital</span> <span class="hps">Literacy</span> <span class="hps">-</span> <span class="hps">Basic Education</span> <span class="hps">- Training</span> <span class="hps">Teachers</span></span></div><div><span lang="en"><span class="hps">Recebido:03/06/2010 Aceito: 14/07/2010<br /></span></span></div>
