Resumo(s)
O problema deste trabalho de investigação decorre de dois factores: o primeiro, do
contexto de aprendizagem das línguas estrangeiras, nos termos em que é formulada no Quadro
Europeu Comum de Referência para as Línguas, que aponta para a construção de uma
competência comunicativa, relacionada com a organização de actividades sustentadas em
suportes e recursos que promovam a participação dos alunos em projectos comunicativos e que
possibilitem interacções significativas; o segundo, do papel preponderante que as tecnologias
de informação e comunicação assumem na mobilização de saberes que permitem aos
aprendentes adoptar estratégias adequadas, tanto autónomas como colaborativas, para a
resolução de problemas e para a tomada de decisões.
Por conseguinte, este estudo centra-se na análise e interpretação da interacção e
comunicação estabelecidas pelos membros de uma comunidade virtual de aprendizagem
(CVA), criada como espaço de apoio e prolongamento da área curricular disciplinar de Língua
Francesa. Procurou-se, deste modo, descrever e caracterizar as dinâmicas de interacção
ocorridas na CVA e analisar as percepções que os participantes tiveram quanto às
aprendizagens realizadas e às competências desenvolvidas, ao longo de uma unidade didáctica.
De modo a observar, de forma detalhada, esse contexto educativo específico, optou-se
por uma investigação qualitativa, essencialmente descritiva, indutiva e interpretativa,
adoptando como metodologia o estudo de caso. Para a recolha de dados, privilegiaram-se
técnicas que permitissem obter informações sobre o fenómeno em estudo, nomeadamente
entrevistas, observações, presenciais e on-line, e análise de alguns documentos.
A análise dos dados leva a reconhecer o potencial das CVA como meios de suporte ao
ensino da Língua Francesa, quer pelo aumento da eficácia da interacção e da comunicação,
com e entre participantes, quer pelo incentivo à aprendizagem autónoma e colaborativa,
propondo-se, nesse sentido, a consideração destes dados para a definição de estratégias
educacionais, tanto como meios auxiliares de trabalho no ensino a distância, como também
para a educação presencial.
The theme of this investigation work arises from two factors: the first one, from the context of the foreign languages learning as it is presented in the European Common Reference Framework For Languages, which points out the development of a communicative competence, related to the organisation of activities based on tools and supports which promote the students’ participation in communicative projects and in which significant interactions are made possible; the second one, from the leading role that information and communication technologies take in the mobilization of different knowledge which allows students to adopt the adequate strategies, both autonomous and cooperative, to solve problems and take decisions. Therefore, this study is based on the analysis and interpretation of the interaction and communication established among the members of a virtual learning community (VLC), created as a space of support and extension of the school subject of French. This way, we tried to describe and characterise the interaction dynamics which occurred in the VLC and analyse the participants’ perceptions as to learning and development of competences during a didactic unit. So as to observe, in a detailed way, this specific educational context, a qualitative investigation was chosen, essentially descriptive, inductive and interpretative, base on the method of case studying. For data collection, we focused on techniques in order to obtain information about the phenomenon in study, namely interviews, on-line and face-to-face observation, and the analysis of several documents. The data analysis makes us recognise the value of VLC as support means in the teaching of French language, either due to the increasing efficiency of interaction and communication with and among the participants, or to the encouragement of autonomous and cooperative learning. This way, we propose these data to be considered for the definition of educational strategies, both as an auxiliary work tool in remote teaching and in face-to-face education.
