Technological resources and teaching strategies

Analysis of portuguese language video classes on Youtube

Abstract

This paper investigates the use of technological resources as Portuguese language teaching strategies in video classes available on Youtube. The objective is to analyze the resources used in four video classes in the mediation of the contents of this subject produced and presented by SEDUC / PA program Todos em Casa pela Educação, to elementary school students, during the pandemic moment. This study took place in the second semester of 2021, when we selected four Portuguese language video classes aimed at Elementary School and proceeded to the analysis. The research has a qualitative approach, considering the assumptions of Lüdke and André (1986), going through moments of bibliographic study and document analysis (remotely in a virtual environment). The theory is based on discussions about digital technological resources, their social function and teaching, relating to the development of virtual classes. For that, we turn to the following authors: Possenti (1996), Antunes (2007), Geraldi (1996; 2015), Cançado (2008), Abrahão (2018). The discussion about technologies in the classroom was based on the ideas of Soares (2002), Buzato (2006), Moran (1995), Mendes (2020) and Gabriel (2013). The results showed that technology are important in the mediation of Portuguese language L1 content by presenting sensory aspects such as images and sounds, such aspects can contribute to the construction of knowledge, in addition to providing an alternative to teaching.
