MULTILITERACY AND MULTIMODALITY IN THE PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE: an analysis of UFRPE's Virtual Learning Environment
Pedagogy of Multiliteracies; Multimodality; Virtual learning environment.
Every change that society faces directly reflects on education. As an example, we cite the pandemic caused by the covid-19 virus, which led to changes in the entire educational system. In this scenario, the implementation of new technologies in teaching was intensified, with or without guidance, teachers had to readapt, reinvent, adopt methodologies that bring students closer to remote classes in the face of such a delicate moment. In this sense, the concern arose in relation to the structure of the disciplines, the way in which the contents are made available in the Virtual Learning Environment, since the way of organizing the information directly interferes in the dynamics and in the teaching-learning process. If the teaching model has changed in the face of the pandemic, changes in teaching pedagogical practice are also necessary, especially in virtual environments that require greater attention when it comes to the student's teaching-learning process. Thus, the importance of the Pedagogy of Multiliteracies and multimodality in the VLE is highlighted. Multiliteracies emerges as a new educational proposal for contemporary education that considers the wide variety of languages and cultures and its four axes: situated practice, explicit instruction, critical framework and transformed practice. The four axes complement each other in the learning process, allowing the student to have a critical capacity as a reader capable of interpreting and producing multimodal texts that integrate different semiosis, in their different formats, with colors, sounds, images and movements, increasingly present in the student's daily life.
