Practice (In)Training Blog Platform: Readings and Writing Policies (Con)Texts of Secondary Education

Abstract

This paper refers to an interdisciplinary action-research on digital journalism, which developed building actions of political knowledge through reading and reflecting journalistic portals from the State of Paraíba. The study favored the construction of new ways of learning from the writing practice, producing interfaces perceptions about society. By treading a converged conceptual route, this paper relates the framework from Educational Communication (Martín-Barbero, 2014) theory with the Learner Society (ASSMANN, 2001) perspective, considering other authors’ point of view. From these theoretical frames, this work shows the intervention performed with high secondary school students from Campina Grande – PB, considering the social experiences narrated by those participants. As the most significant result, the study enabled the creation of Jornalismo.com blog for textual students’ productions, expecting educational proposals that can go beyond the school environment. Among the achieved goals, it was possible to envision the participants’ critical formation and information through reading news and web reports, as well as the encouragement of their writing skills, suggesting the necessity of ensuring the learners’ voices beyond the educational contexts, by (in)forming them from transforming and collaborative actions.
