Letramento digital : percurso autopoiético para a alfabetização na complexidade.

Abstract

This research is about the Digital Literacy, with emphasis on the passage from the technological literacy to the digital one in Virtual Learning Environments (AVA) by the students from the second grade fundamental school of a city school in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul state, seen by the perspective of a status or condition of those who use the technologies and their practice of reading and writing through the screen. This paper aims to approach the technologies as potential tools for teaching and learning on the net in an AVA and to observe the process of digital literacy under the complex concepts built in ‘Paradigm of Complexity and of the Biology of Cognition/Autopoiesis, by Maturana and Varela, along with the conceptions of complex and living in love. According to the adopted paradigm, the construction of knowledge/subject is intrinsically attached to the experimenting process During the research, it was noticed an improvement in the students’ reading and writing, in the relationship subject/machine and a better autonomy. The methodological proposal was developed from the qualitative approach. It was created a challenging environment where the research data were generated. These data are of two species: I start as an observer and researcher involved in the learning/teaching process and data analysis during the knowledge construction in the computing laboratory as well as their narratives which will be interpreted and related with the authors who work on those concepts, analyzed later by operating markers, without splitting being, making and knowing.
