O ensino de Filosofia na palma da mão: uma experiência no Centro de Ensino Vicente Maia sobre o filosofar com o WhatsApp

Abstract

This research aims to analyze an investigation into the use of Digital Technologies of Information and Communication - TDIC as a didactic resource for teaching Philosophy through WhatsApp in a perspective on the development of collective intelligence. And, as a general objective: to analyze the use of WhatsApp as a didactic resource in Philosophy classes at the state public school CE Vicente Maia as a mediation for philosophical learning. As for the methodology, this research is of an explanatory and qualitative nature, based on bibliographic, documentary and field research carried out with students from two high school classes at the Vicente Maia Teaching Center in São Luís-MA. The instruments used were open and closed questionnaires aimed at students in order to investigate the use of TDIC at school and, more specifically, in the Philosophy discipline, as well as questions regarding the sociocultural conditions of the participants. As a theoretical framework for analysis, authors such as Lévy (1993, 2010, 2015), Castells (2003), Moran (2012), Belloni (2012), Cupani (2016), Cerletti (2009), Latour (2012) and others who discuss the theme. The research is based on the hypothesis that TDIC in the educational area contributes to philosophical teaching and learning and to the construction and recognition of collective intelligence in cyberspace. This research considers the new configurations required in the educational field in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, which redimensioned education for remote and hybrid models.
