SUMMARY:

The phenomenon of misinformation, widely disseminated on social media both on and off the internet, has generated significant impacts in areas such as politics, health, and education by compromising people's perception of reality. The vulnerability of students to fake news highlights the need for educational products aimed at fighting misinformation. In light of this, we present, as a standout product, a collection of Digital Educational Resources (DER) that promotes critical reading, aimed at identifying and combating fake news. Applied "DER in combating Fake News" with 9th-grade students from a public municipal school in Rio Grande do Norte, this thesis aims to investigate the potential of these DER, considering the practices of identifying misinformation, the multisemiotic specificities of this collection, and the responsiveness of the participants in this research to these resources. For this, we propose the following specific objectives: (i) to describe the practices of 9th-grade students in identifying fake news; (ii) to map the multisemiotic characteristics of the proposed DER collection; (iii) to analyze the responsiveness of these students to this collection. The theoretical foundation we align with comes from the New London Group (1996), Cope and Kalantzis (2015) for the conceptions of multiliteracies; regarding criticality, we turn to Janks (2016); on Information Disorder, we are guided by Wardle and Derakhshan (2017). For the notions of bubbles, we rely on Pariser (2012). Methodologically, the research is qualitative (Bogdan and Biklen, 1994) in Applied Linguistics (Moita Lopes, 2006), inserted in an action research context (Tripp, 2005; Burns, 2018). The instruments used for data generation were: field notes; students' writing practices; audio transcriptions; report from the regent teacher. From the data generation, four categories of analysis emerged: (i) conceptual redefinition of fake news; (ii) conceptual introduction of bubbles; (iii) information checking; and (iv) conceptual appropriation in everyday life. The preliminary analysis of the data indicates that the aforementioned DER collection represents a product with the potential to support the development of critical reading, stimulating not only the identification of fake news but, above all, strategies to combat this global social problem.
