Blogs as a Narrative Educational Technology for the Pre-Service Educa/Action

摘要

The aim of this paper is to discuss the use of blogs, understood as an information and narrative communication technology, as one of the assessment devices of the “Practice in Teaching and Learning Mathematics” course of the Mathematics Program of a Brazilian public university. We present and discuss elements related to the choice of blogs as narrative educational technology applied to processes of assessment and reflection of the teaching practices of pre-service student teachers. After that, taking into consideration the blogs written by the students, we created categories that talk about the students’ pre-service teaching experience. We also discuss the use of blogs as a methodological resource, as a possibility for the students to narrate themselves, and as a possibility for them to talk about the practice of the being a teacher. We finish the paper discussing the blogs as pre-service teaching education in light of the concept of Educa/action by Bicudo (2003).
