Letramento digital crítico : um caminho interdisciplinar para o ensino de língua portuguesa

Abstract

Digital technologies highlight forms of communication that permeate social relationships. Consequently, interactions occur across various sectors of society, including education, making it essential in school settings to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue between Portuguese language instruction and the diverse texts circulating on digital platforms and reaching the school community, thereby allowing critical digital literacy to be considered a viable path toward a critical and democratic society. Thus, this study aims to analyze how interdisciplinarity in Portuguese language instruction, based on critical digital literacy, can contribute to the formation of critical citizens, as well as to understand the contributions of this literacy to Portuguese language instruction and identify how digital technologies foster interdisciplinary practices in the school context. As a rationale, the analysis of critical digital literacy represents an opportunity to deepen understanding of interdisciplinarity and of how different forms of communication enabled by digital technologies influence society. Socially, it is essential to promote a reflective and critical analysis of the diverse digital texts that permeate society. Academically, the aim is to contribute to the intensification of dialogue based on critical digital literacy. It should be noted that this study adopts a qualitative approach, with descriptive and explanatory aims, through documentary research. The results reveal that the teaching of Portuguese as an interdisciplinary subject and as a social practice extends beyond literacy and language to encompass social, political, cultural, and ideological aspects, as Vergna (2021) points out. Costa, Belivaquia, and Fialho (2020) highlight the ideas of Paulo Freire and the importance of reflecting on reality and the advancement of digital technologies. We can highlight the authors Francisco, Ferreira, and Goulartt (2019), who point to new ways of teaching and learning in the digital world. In this sense, critical digital literacy, together with interdisciplinary activities, can directly contribute to proficient Portuguese language education
