Oficina de fotografia como instrumento de educomunicação: estudo de caso com estudantes do interior do Ceará participantes do IV Festival Alunos que Inspiram

Abstract

The popularization of digital technological tools, such as smartphones, has generated new ways of social education, becoming present as a new learning field. The present work discusses the use of photography, made by smartphones, as an educational tool based on the study of workshops based on educommunicative principles with the support of cooperative learning. The study is built on the analysis of authors on the theme and the results obtained with the development of the workshops, held in the community of Canafístula, Apuiarés, with students from the 1st to the 3rd year of high school. Taking into account practices that combine education and communication, even when performed with scarcity of technological devices, can collaborate in the learning and development of students. The objective of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of a work methodology within the educommunicative perspective, aiming at the construction of media artifacts that collaborate with the cultural memory of students in the community. Finally, this work presents the importance of educommunicative workshops, upon analysis of the descriptions of the meetings and the reports of the participants, obtained through interviews and focus groups.
