TEACHER TRAINING FOR DIGITAL LITERACY IN THE STATE EDUCATION NETWORK OF AMAZONAS

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the data from a study on the continuing education of teachers for digital literacy in the state education network of Amazonas, offered by the Department of Education and School Sports (SEDUC/AM) through the Padre José Anchieta Professional Training Center (CEPAN), in the period from 2018 to 2020. To this end, qualitative research was used as a methodology, based on Creswel (2007). The evaluation of training was based on the Kirkpatrick (2006) model, which consists of four levels: reaction, learning, behavior and outcomes. In this research, the first level was considered "reaction", verifying the criteria of coherence, compliance, efficacy and efficiency. The results showed that the offer of continuing education to teachers contributed to their teaching practice, but there are still gaps in the training process for teachers to use technologies within a critical understanding considering their social, ethical and cognitive implications, in addition to developing skills to interpret, produce and evaluate digital information. It is expected that the research will bring significant contributions to the teaching area, focusing on an innovative educational practice aligned with contemporary demands. Therefore, as a Training Center, CEPAN needs to consider the points of attention and the possibilities of improvement for planning future training.
