Currently, the mastery of Digital Information and Communication Technologies
(DICT) is increasingly recommended by educational regulatory documents and
required in teaching and learning activities at all levels of basic education. This
demands careful attention to teacher training, aiming to expand their mastery of
technologies to develop their multiliteracies. Considering this reality, this study
focuses on the use of Digital Educational Resources (DER) and multiliteracies
in teacher training through the development of literacy workshops. To guide this
work, we start from the following research question: what is the role of literacy
workshops in the teacher training process for the critical use of Digital
Educational Resources (DER) and Multiliteracies? The overall objective is to
investigate the role of literacy workshops in the teacher training process for the
critical use of Digital Educational Resources (DER) and multiliteracies. To
achieve this overall objective, the following specific objectives were chosen: 1)
to map multiliteracy and DER practices mobilized in literacy workshops
developed in the teacher training process of teachers at the E.M.E.I.F.
Professora Neuza Medeiros Alves in Jacaraú/PB; 2) to analyze the impacts of
working with literacy workshops focused on the critical use of DER and
multiliteracies in teacher training; 3) to develop literacy workshops using DER
and multiliteracies with teachers from the E.M.E.I.F. Professora Neuza Medeiros
Alves in Jacaraú/PB. Theoretically, this investigation is anchored in sociocultural
literacy studies; in studies that address teacher training from a critical
perspective; in the pedagogy of multiliteracies and in studies that investigate the
role of OER in teacher training and pedagogical practices in the school context.
This research was developed in the area of Applied Linguistics (AL) from a
critical, transgressive, and interdisciplinary perspective, methodologically
configured as a case study, whose data were generated at the E.M.E.I.F.
Professora Neuza Medeiros Alves in Jacaraú/PB and will be analyzed using a
qualitative and interpretative approach. Preliminary results indicate that, in
practice, in pedagogical practice, literacy workshops enhance the development
of knowledge necessary for teachers' pedagogical practice when mobilized in
formative experiences that articulate the use of OER with multiliteracies in a
critical way.
