Active methodologies; DICT; Portuguese Language Teaching; Teacher training.
The teaching of Portuguese is essential, but many students face difficulties in reading, interpreting and producing texts, which compromises engagement and performance (Antunes, 2003). These difficulties may be linked to the lack of methodologies that make learning more meaningful, dynamic, and innovative. To this end, the present research aims to analyze a proposal for teacher training based on active methodologies with the use of digital technologies for the promotion of pedagogical practices for the teaching of Portuguese Language. It is based on the light of scholars who discuss the teaching and learning of the Portuguese language (Travaglia, 1996; Bakhtin, 2003; Antunes, 2003; Rojo, 2020), active methodologies (Almeida; Valente, 2011; Camargo; Daros, 2018; Bacich; Moran, 2018; Moran, 2019); and, Digital Information and Communication Technologies - TDIC (Prensky, 2001; Kenski, 2012; Brackmann, 2017; Prado and Rocha, 2018), and among others. The methodology of this research contemplates the qualitative approach, whose type of research is characterized as action research, based on the inductive method. The instruments for data collection and analysis were the application of online questionnaires, as well as the records of the field diary of the formative experience. Thus, the results obtained in this research show that teacher training provides significant contributions to the development of skills and competencies of Letters professionals, for the creation of authorial educational practices based on active methodologies with digital technologies in the teaching of Portuguese Language. In this way, it is understood that it is through these formative actions that it is possible to transform the teaching of the Portuguese language, making it more dynamic, meaningful and innovative in order to meet recent educational demands.
