This article contextualizes multi-referentiality as a research strategy within the field of education, as it is based on the plurality of readings about the researched object. The experience reported comes from a master's research whose objective was to investigate the reverberations of teacher training in transmediation methodology in pedagogical practices in the classroom. From a qualitative perspective, the multi-referential study used data production instruments such as bibliographic and documentary review, nonparticipant observation, logbook, systematic literature review, semi-structured interview, data systematization through the Iramuteq software, and portfolio content analysis. From this plural look and the connections of meaning, it was possible to elaborate thematic categories that allowed us to look at the data produced with greater amplitude and extract from them the elements for the conversation between teaching practice and the studied theoretical bases. After completing the itinerary, we found that the multireferential approach allowed us to achieve the research objectives from the perspective of studying educational phenomena in a heterogeneous way. With the methodological choices, we concluded that the pedagogical training in transmediation methodology enabled, from the experiments in the classroom, student engagement; the work with language in different media; shared learning; make the student protagonist of their formative process; identify the need for technological appropriation by teachers; and highlighted the need to improve infrastructure in schools in relation to digital technologies.

The Digital Humanities, also known as Humanities Computing, form a dynamic area, which articulates knowledge domains with different research methodologies, as a space for innovation, access to information, teaching and research. The aim of this study is to investigate how the theme Digital Humanities is understood in educational contexts for training purposes, especially for teachers. A qualitative approach is used, with exploratory, dialectical, and experiential design, through a systematic integrative bibliographic review, which sought scientific productions in virtual bases and platforms. Thirty- seven scientific articles are investigated, which meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria for data analysis. It is necessary to promote the study and science on the subject to adopt public policies aimed at digital insertion in training processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article seeks to make a brief contribution to the COVID-19 pandemic issue, regarding the students’ awareness of the disease and its forms of transmission. The main objective, through the comic book La Dansarina, is to promote a better understanding of the pandemic, by means of the comparison with the Spanish Flu. Thus, it is expected to make students accept the decisions of the health agencies and carry out such teachings. The methodology used in the study was bibliographic. As a main result, it was verified that a comparison between the two pandemics — through an artistic work — can motivate and arouse students’ due to their ludic bias. As conclusions, we can highlight that information can be the greatest weapon in the fight against a disease that spreads through social life and a well-told story can be more useful than news’ numbers.

This article is a synthesis a final paper, linked to the scientific initiation, carried out in the pedagogy course. The intention of this article is to demonstrate the students' approach with the Sequential Art / Comics, in the sense to produce a significant learning of the Portuguese language content. The experience aimed to analyze the language of Sequential Art / Comics in Portuguese classes, providing the training of teachers to use this teaching tool in the school environment. Methodologically, we made use of a qualitative research, using the case study and participant observation. Thus, it was possible to infer about the language aspects of Sequential Art / Comics used in elementary school by teachers, in order to promote its use in the classroom. We proposed strategies for using the multiple languages found in Sequential Art. As a result, we could observe that there are flaws in the design and use of different resources in the classroom that arouse the interest of students; we observed, as well, that they can be stimulated through materials that do not require high investments, since they are available to everyone. We conclude that the encouragement to learn the language and its different functions — such as interpretation, reading habits and textual understanding —, are factors that need to be addressed more by teachers, from their professional training to their teaching practice.
