Site conexões em rede: possibilidades para a memória organizacional da formação continuada para educadores da educação infantil

Abstract

This dissertation falls within the field of Educational Management and the triad of theories on continuing teacher education, organizational memory, and digital technologies. The research is based on the website "Conexões em Rede" managed by the Pedagogical Directorate of the Porto Alegre Municipal Department of Education (SMED). The overall objective is to analyze how the website can serve as an alternative organizational memory for continuing education initiatives for Early Childhood Education teachers. The theoretical framework was based on authors such as Cury (2002), Lück (1996; 1997) and Paro (2000; 2010) in the field of Educational Management; Alarcão (2022), Libâneo (1995) and Tardif (2013), on continuing education; Nonaka & Takeuchi (2008) and Mioli & Silva, to address organizational memory and Knowledge Management; and Lévy (1999) and Schlemmer (2005) for Digital Technologies. The research adopted a qualitative, exploratory approach, grounded in content analysis (Bardin, 1991), which guided the investigation of other municipal education department websites. The results demonstrated that "Conexões em Rede" with improvements in institutional visibility, credibility, organization, and interactivity, can develop value as an innovative resource for the organizational memory of continuing education programs for early childhood education teachers. As a proposed intervention, the improved website prototype is presented and the creation of a Research Group on Pedagogical Organizational Memory (MOP) with teachers from the Porto Alegre Municipal Department of Education (RME). This group would support a cycle of continuing education, website curation, and knowledge production related to pedagogical organizational memory as a public policy. It also promotes a practice grounded in the collaborative work of educators of RME.
