CONCEPTIONS OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE INTEGRATED COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSE: FREE SOFTWARE CULTURE IN HUMAN FORMATION
Autonomy; Free Software; Technology
The research aims to understand the conceptions of technology and its implications on the possibilities and limits for the development of the culture of free software in the Integrated High School Technical Course of Informatics - IT (EMI). For this, a bibliographic research on the concept of technology in Álvaro Vieira Pinto was developed as a background, identifying characteristics of free software that enhance greater autonomy in technological production. The use of free software as an open educational resource is necessary for the construction of autonomy in the production of knowledge, considering that FS has its source code available for the student to make modifications he/she deems necessary in a system. Thus, producing technological knowledge according to local needs, aiming at an understanding that technology is Work, because it is much more than the consumption of proprietary software. In this way, semi-structured interviews will be carried out with teachers from the Professora Maria Rocha School, being only with the teachers of the technical disciplines in the Informatics EMI modality. As this is a research with qualitative methodology, the results obtained will be analyzed based on Textual Discourse Analysis. The work will have as an educational product an (internet) site, where materials will be available concepts of Technology and Technique in Álvaro Vieira Pinto, and finally materials about free software. In the final considerations, we will resume the analysis of the research results and the viability or not of continuing this research.
