Abstract(s)
Apesar da patente rejeição que a maioria dos docentes assume quanto à
Wikipédia para a consecução dos trabalhos escolares/académicos por parte dos
seus alunos/estudantes, há, também como nos diz a literatura, um número de
docentes e instituições, mormente do ensino superior, que considera que aquela
enciclopédia se apresenta como um recurso com enorme potencial pedagógico.
A Wikimedia Foundation, que suporta aquele projeto, a par de outros,
privilegia as parcerias com instituições educativas em todo o mundo. Em
Portugal existe a adesão a esta parceria, porquanto se têm vindo a dinamizar
ações, entre as quais no LE@D, Laboratório de Educação a Distância e
Elearning, resultando num número significativo de estratégias, com o intuito de
explorar o potencial pedagógico desta Tecnologia Educacional em Rede; a
primeira dessas iniciativas ocorreu em 2014, no Mestrado em Pedagogia do
eLearning da Universidade Aberta, onde o presente estudo se inscreve.
Neste âmbito, a investigação, efetuada com a finalidade de integrar
atividades de exploração pedagógica de artigos da Wikipédia, nas práticas
letivas do Ensino Profissional, metodologicamente, consubstancia um estudo de
caso sustentado no paradigma pragmático. Assim, o nosso caso circunscrevese à integração curricular da Wikipédia numa turma do 11.º ano de escolaridade
de um Curso Profissional numa escola do distrito de Lisboa. Para a recolha de
dados, socorremo-nos de grelhas de observação focada, fichas de acolhimento
e aferimento, e produtos concretizados pelos alunos, a que se seguiu a sua
análise, a saber estatística e de conteúdo, e respetiva triangulação.
As evidências recolhidas revelam o êxito das atividades e práticas
implementadas, sobretudo porque permitiram a aquisição de um conjunto amplo
de competências alinhado com os referenciais teóricos vigentes, igualmente por
nós convocados. Além disso, constatou-se uma mudança nos alunos, de uma
atitude conservadora para uma atitude mais holística face à Wikipédia.
Despite the clear rejection that most teachers assume regarding Wikipedia for the completion of school/academic work by their pupils/students, there is also, as the literature tells us too, a number of teachers and institutions, especially in higher education, which considers that encyclopedia to be a resource with a huge pedagogical potential. The Wikimedia Foundation, which supports that project, along with others, favors partnerships with educational institutions around the world. In Portugal there is alignment for that, as actions have been promoted, including within LE@D, the Laboratory of Distance Education and Elearning, resulting in a number of strategies, with the aim of exploring the pedagogical potential of that Networked Educational Technology; the first of these initiatives took place in 2014, in the context of the Master in eLearning Pedagogy of Universidade Aberta, Open University Portugal, where the present study is hosted. Hence, the research carried out, with the purpose of integrating activities of pedagogical exploration of Wikipedia articles in the teaching practices of Vocational Education and Training, methodologically, is a case study based on the pragmatic paradigm. Thus, our case is limited to the curricular integration of Wikipedia in an 11th year class of a Professional Course in a school in the district of Lisbon. To collect data, we used focused observation grids, reception and assessment sheets, and products created by the students; for data analysis, statistics and content analysis were adopted, and their triangulation. The evidence collected reveals the success of the activities and practices implemented, especially because they allowed the acquisition of a broad set of skills associated with the current theoretical references, also called upon by us. In addition, there was a change in students from a conservative attitude to a more holistic attitude towards Wikipedia.
