Critérios para avaliação da alfabetização computacionaldissertation
Аннотация: Information and communication technology (ICT) has become increasingly common in the daily life of today's society.Many conveniences are made available to all individuals by using ICT.However, knowledge of ICT does not refer only to aspects of comfort; the lack of this competence restricts important opportunities.Noteworthy is the great importance of this knowledge in the academic environment, in which students are constantly required to perform activities supported by computers and applications.In order to enter the job market, in several areas, prior preparation related to knowledge and skills on ICT is required.Fortunately, ICT devices have become increasingly accessible to the population in general, and applications have also been offering increasingly intuitive usability.Still, it appears that ICT self-learning is restricted to some specific aspects, and considered insufficient for a minimally adequate preparation.To make matters worse, the learning of ICT in Brazilian public schools is still insufficient.This dissertation aims at defining some criteria for assessing Computer Literacy (CL), corresponding to an identification of the relevant body of knowledge regarding ICT skills, to be applied to high school students.In order to meet this goal, the main aspects of CL were extracted from literature by a systematic review, and submitted to expert analysis by Delphi Technique.The aspects of ICT identified as the most important ones by experts at CL are: ethics, search engines, privacy, security and viruses.In addition, this study also aims at describing how high school institutions and companies evaluate the relevance of CL knowledge and skills.The collected data has allowed a comparative analysis of different points of view of teachers, researchers and companies on the subject.We have concluded that connectivity represents the central element of CL nowadays, based on the set of issues classified as the most relevant by the research methodology.
