New technologies and text production by students

This project arose from the research teacher's observation that students were uninterested in reading and writing activities. This led to a search for new mechanisms to address the problem in school education by developing a project that combined digital technology with the pedagogical process of understanding and producing textual genres. Based on the theoretical framework used (Educommunication and Textual Genre Theory), we believe we have developed guidelines as a technological and didactic resource for students to write texts. This research was developed within the master's program at the Federal Technological University of Paran , Londrina Campus, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Givan Jos Ferreira dos Santos. The results were shown to be productive. Students expressed motivation to learn, commitment, and a spirit of cooperation in carrying out activities that enable teachers and students to create a digital school newspaper. Indeed, the theoretical, methodological-practical, and analytical path undertaken in this research confirms that the proposed objectives were achieved.
