O impacto da disciplina de informática básica na aprendizagem de ferramentas editores de textos nos cursos na modalidade PROEJA do IFPI-CATZS

Abstract

Contemporary society increasingly relies on information technology in various aspects of life, both professionally and personally. In this context, the teaching of basic informatics in courses not primarily focused on information technology, particularly in the National Program of Integration of Professional Education with Basic Education in the Youth and Adult Education Modality, stands out as an essential educational strategy. Many students in this program seek professional qualifications in addition to completing their academic education, aiming to enhance their employment prospects. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze the works produced by these students, from the classes of the Federal Institute of Piauí - Campus Teresina Zona Sul in the Basic Informatics discipline, using text editing software, to assess their level of proficiency in software utilization. For the methodological framework of this study, a quantitative-descriptive field research approach was employed. Data were collected using Google Forms and supplemented with documentary analysis of the course syllabus. The questionnaire comprised 14 questions, divided into three levels: understanding the participant's profile, self-assessment of the teaching/learning process, and proficiency testing. The results indicate that the students in question are capable of producing basic academic materials. Despite this, many of them are adults who, although they have faced difficulties and interruptions in their educational journey, are now actively seeking to resume their academic pursuits.
