A integração curricular da Wikipédia no contexto formativo do designer educacional: caso focalizado numa ação de extensão

Abstract(s)
Pretende-se, neste texto, relatar uma experiência de integração curricular da Wikipédia no contexto formativo do Designer Educacional, situada a partir de uma proposta que envolveu o desenho de coreografias didáticas propostas no Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Design Educacional da Universidade Federal de São Paulo. À proposta formativa, associou-se, também, a realização de um evento de extensão intitulado “Wikipédia no Currículo: Utopia ou Realidade?”. Neste âmbito, apresenta-se, num primeiro momento, o suporte teórico fundamentado nas questões associadas à Educação Aberta, onde se inscreve a Rede Académica Internacional WEIWER®, e, nela, a Wikipédia. Metodologicamente, a investigação suporta-se num estudo de caso sob o prisma do paradigma pragmático, que se socorreu de instrumentos de recolha de dados, que também se perspetivam. Posteriormente, é abordado o contexto formativo no qual se integrou o referido evento de extensão, bem como os resultados dessa iniciativa, com base em dados recolhidos a partir de dois inquéritos, realizados por meio de questionário, e da observação, participante, por meio de grelha de observação focada. Da análise, estatística e de conteúdos das evidências, aponta-se como resultados da investigação que ainda há muito desconhecimento acerca de como estabelecer a integração da Wikipédia no currículo de forma efetiva, o que revela a necessidade de prover informações relevantes em meio académico, a fim de inspirar novos atores, docentes e discentes, a reconhecerem o potencial de uso científico da enciclopédia da atualidade, como uma ferramenta aliada ao desenho de novas coreografias didáticas em contextos educacionais diversos, abertos e em rede, assim consubstanciando novos trilhos pedagógicos e de integração curricular da Wikipédia.
Our aim is to present an experience of curricular integration of Wikipedia in the educational designer’s training context, based on a proposal that involved designing didactic choreographies in the Higher Technology Course in Educational Design at the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp). The training proposal was also associated with the organization of an extension event titled “Wikipedia in the Curriculum: Utopia or Reality?”. We start by describing our theoretical framework, related to Open Education, which includes the International Academic Network WEIWER®, and within it, Wikipedia. Then, we consider our methodological framework, based on a case study from the perspective of the pragmatic paradigm, using data collection instruments, which are also described. Subsequently, the training context in which the extension event was integrated is discussed, as well as the results of this activity, based on data collected from two surveys conducted through questionnaires and participant observation using a focused observation grid. The statistical and content analysis of the evidence points to the finding that there is still a significant lack of knowledge on how to effectively integrate Wikipedia into the curriculum. This reveals the need to provide relevant information within the academic environment to inspire new actors, both teachers and students, to recognize the scientific potential of the current encyclopedia as a tool allied with the design of new didactic choreographies in several educational, open, and networked contexts, thereby founding new pedagogical paths and the curricular integration of Wikipedia.
