Metapesquisa: um caminho para o reconhecimento da importância das animações instrucionais no ensino de língua portuguesa

Abstract

This article is part of a dissertation, which had the general objective of contributing to teacher training, regarding the construction of digital teaching materials, considering the growing presence of digital information and communication technologies (TDICs) in the school environment. Therefore, this study aims to map studies on instructional animation in order to organize the main results on the topic. The corpus is composed of the path followed in search of a theoretical framework for the investigation, as well as the definition of metaresearch (research on research) as a research strategy, based on studies by Mainardes (2018). The analysis procedures consist of exploratory reading of the articles and observation of their theoretical foundations. With the diagnosis produced, the recurrence of cognitive load theories (SWELLER, 2003) and multimedia learning theory (MAYER, 2005) was noticed as a basis for the use of instructional animations in education. Furthermore, it was noted that there is still room for studies on this topic, applied to teaching Portuguese language content for the final years of elementary school. It is considered, then, that metaresearch is an important instrument for understanding the context of academic production in the area of ​​study of the topic in question.
