A implantação dos kits educatron e seu impacto no trabalho docente: um estudo com professores da rede estadual de ensino de Laranjeiras do Sul - PR

Abstract

What is the impact of the Educatron multimedia kit on teaching work? Based on this question, we developed a research study on education and technology, focusing on the impact of the Educatron multimedia kits policy implemented in the state schools of Paraná by the State Secretariat of Education (Seed-PR) in 2022. The central objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of this policy from the perspective of teachers in the state education network of Laranjeiras do Sul – PR. The analysis is structured using Bowe and Ball's (1992) policy cycle methodology, examining three contexts: the production of the political text, the practice, and the results/effects. Thus, this study incorporates triangulation research methods (Cano, 2012) by describing normative documents from Seed-PR and presenting quantitative analysis results from a questionnaire administered to teachers in this city’s state network. The theoretical framework includes reference authors in the field of educational public policy research in Brazil, such as Moraes (2000), Barreto (2012), and Basniak (2016), to provide initial elements for analyzing the exposed issues. To gather empirical evidence on teachers' perceptions of the impact of these technologies on their work, data was collected through a questionnaire to better identify the advancements and challenges experienced. Therefore, this monograph not only examines the Educatron kit as a technological innovation but also situates it as a public policy with implications for social and educational relations.
