Inclusão e ciberativismo: potencialidades da (in)formação docente mediada por perfis de redes sociais de pessoas com deficiência

Abstract

ABSTRACT The media context, beyond entertainment, can provide access to important information on various topics of interest that may lead to the acquisition of knowledge, including about people with disabilities (PwD). This research aims to identify the potential of social networks during thematic seminars held in the Introduction to Inclusive Education course in the Pedagogy program. In this sense, it aims to stimulate the formation, updating, and acquisition of new knowledge on the theme of inclusion for education and teacher formation, considering that this research is carried out in a self-reflective manner in relation to formation and self-formation in Pedagogy. Based on qualitative principles, this study is divided into two stages: 1) a literature review on cyberactivism by people with disabilities, and 2) a discursive analysis of semi-structured interviews with pedagogy students who took the Introduction to Inclusive Special Education course. The dialogue between the theoretical bibliographic survey of specialized literature on cyberactivism and the research carried out by students who took the course sought to ascertain how this movement of seeking information during formation indicates the potential of a pedagogical strategy in offering: information, tips, guidance and ways of dealing with people with disabilities in the formation space and paths to performance and curricular adaptation. In this sense, through categorization based on ATD (Discursive Textual Analysis), the results point to: a reduction in information based on stereotypes about the specific needs of students with profiles common to those explored on the virtual page, and an appreciation of the discourse of these people when presenting their needs, demands, and claims on social networks, knowledge that can be expanded in the appropriation of new learning throughout teacher for. Keywords: Pedagogy, Inclusion, Formation, Cyberactivism.
