Aprendizagem Tecnológica Ativa (ATA): um elo de dialogicidade para a formação humana integral no ensino médio integrado

Abstract

Active Technological Learning (ATA) is a methodological teaching process that aims to articulate so-called active methodologies with resources from Digital Communication and Information Technologies (TDICs). From this perspective, we adopt this process based on Freire’s (1996; 2020) dialogic educational conception, which we believe contributes to the field of Professional and Technological Education (EPT), considering the Integral Human Formation of students with a focus on the teacher-student relationship. In light of this, we structured this investigation within a qualitative approach, encompassing documentary research linked to field research, with the locus being the Manacapuru Campus of the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Amazonas (IFAM). Thus, the general objective of this research was to analyze the contributions of Active Technological Learning (ATA), articulated with the teaching and learning process, aiming to promote the Integral Human Formation of students in the Integrated High School (EMI) in Administration at IFAM Manacapuru Campus. To achieve this, questionnaires were applied to 20 participating students, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven teachers. Consequently, we collected a set of data analyzed through thematic and interpretative analysis (Severino, 2013) and content analysis (Bardin, 2020), using as a theoretical lens the studies of Leite (2018; 2020), Moran (2018), Ciavatta (2014), Moura (2015), Kuenzer (2015), among others. The results indicated that Active Technological Learning, aligned with the principles of Integral Human Formation and Freirean student centered learning, represents an innovative and viable pedagogical approach in the Integrated High School (EMI) at IFAM Manacapuru. We also identified that, despite the structural and methodological challenges revealed, there is collective recognition of ATA’s potential to overcome the limitations of traditional teaching and foster more dynamic and meaningful pedagogical practices. Furthermore, we found that although the participating teachers already incorporate active methodologies and digital technologies in their practices, there is a lack of theoretical systematization of these practices. Finally, the research presented an educational product proposal for EMI teachers, offering guidelines on how to integrate ATA into their pedagogical practices. The material included theoretical support, practical activities, examples of TDICs applications and active methodologies, suggestions for formative and diagnostic assessment, always in line with the principles of ATA. Given this, we emphasize the relevance of this material, applied and positively evaluated by the teachers at IFAM Manacapuru, as it aligns with the guidelines established by the Professional and Technological Education Master's Program (ProfEPT), considering the research line on Educational Practices in Professional and Technological Education (EPT).
