Desafios da inclusão: uma proposta para a qualificação de docentes no Ensino Superior via tecnologias digitais
Abstract
Universities are historically known by being elitist and meritocratic institutions. However, in the 90’s, expansion policies in Brazilian higher education changed the students’ profile, making teachers qualification a pressing issue. This article reports the construction of a digital learning object conceived with the objective of promoting reflection about inclusion, contributing for a change in the way teachers perceive diversity and for a resignification of the teachers’ practice. It was developed initially with a focus in the inclusion of deaf students. The learning object, entitled Incluir, intends to conciliate technical and pedagogical aspects in order to materialize an interactionist, reflexive and problematizing methodology.
