Paper Abstract:
|
This study is concerned with analysing the pedagogical theories and practices on the basis of which Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are employed, together with the influence they have had in changing the syllabus with regard to the subject-areas included in the Post-Graduate Programme in Education and Curriculum in Brazil. The examination of the curriculum sets out with the aim of defining a conception of emancipatory education and exploring how this can be incorporated in a wider context of public educational policies. It also seeks to show how the planning and structuring of the I Web Curriculum Seminar took place an event that occurred in Brazil in 2008 and is unique of its kind (it is expected to be repeated in 2010). The main concerns of this study are the concept of the Web Curriculum, the importance of scientific research as underlined by the seminar and the prospects for future activities. Integrating the technologies in education and the curriculum is an issue that poses a challenge both to the researchers and the practice of teachers. |
