THE USE OF OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES TO LEARN

Abstract

The study analyzed the integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) in active methodologies and showed that the adoption of these resources modernized the teaching and learning processes, allowing the expansion of access to knowledge and the construction of collaborative environments. Its objective was to investigate the impact of OER on the democratization of access to education, the personalization of content and the promotion of interaction between teachers and students. The research was based on a bibliographic method, which identified the topic of interest, searched in specialized databases – such as CAPES Periodicals – and selected articles, books, website pages and other relevant documents, which supported the understanding of the challenges and potentialities inherent to the use of OER. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined based on the timeliness and relevance of the sources, in order to ensure that only the most credible materials contributed to the analysis. The technique adopted consisted of critical reading, systematization and synthesis of the information collected, which allowed the articulation of the findings with previous studies. The study concluded that the integration of OER promoted the modernization of educational processes, by encouraging student autonomy and interaction between face-to-face and digital practices, thus proving to be an innovative strategy to transform the education scenario.
