THE USE OF PODCAST AS AN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE AND FOR THE SHARING OF INCLUSIVE PRACTICES

Abstract

In the perspective of inclusive education, the teacher has the possibility of a more inclusive pedagogical work, considering the diversity and plurality of each student, specially when using Open Educational Resources (OER). The Open Educational Resources allow adapting the content to different contexts, which works as an important technological tool in pedagogical practices and encourages the active participation of students. Thus, the results of an empirical research that sought to contribute to the promotion of pedagogical practices from the perspective of inclusive education in Vocational and Technological Education (EPT) are highlighted in this article, based on the content produced in a series of podcasts on inclusion focusing on educators and their practices. It is a qualitative research, with semi-structured interviews which included the report of practices developed in three campuses of the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina (IFSC). Interviews were carried out with employees, students and the external community who participated in the inclusive actions. The series of podcasts, called Caçadores de Inclusão, can be accessed for free on Spotify. The results showed that inclusive pedagogical approaches, in addition to valuing differences and collaborative production, can make learning processes more flexible, creative and challenging.
