MEDIA EDUCATION, EDUCOMMUNICATION AND TEACHER TRAINING: PARAMETERS OF THE LAST 20 YEARS OF RESEARCH ON SCIELO AND SCOPUS DATABASES

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study is to investigate the researches that explore the relationship between Educommunication and Teacher Training, Media Education and Teacher Training, on a national and international scale. The search for documents was made on SciELO and Scopus databases, from the period between 1997-2017, with the specific purposes of mapping the data through graphs and refining the results for a profitable analysis of the publications. From the results obtained, it was possible to confirm the lack of studies that contribute with reflections for a teacher training in the scope of a digital culture. Despite interesting initiatives in the study of the media, there is a prevalence, in the courses, of notions directed to the use of technologies in teaching, with a disciplinary emphasis. Critical and creative perspectives of reading and production in media are poorly explored. Thus, Media Education is defended as a fundamental formative field for the exercise of active citizenship.
