Digital Culture and Teacher Education: an analysis from the perspective of undergraduate students in Pedagogy

ABSTRACT This investigation presents an exploratory qualitative research that was carried out with 127 undergraduate students in Pedagogy at a private University in Curitiba, who take the course in person, blended modality, and distance modality. The aim was to analyze and reflect on Digital Culture in Teacher Training from the perspective of students. Data were collected from an online questionnaire and analyzed from the perspective of Bardin (2011), with the aid of the ATLAS.ti software. The data analysis allowed verifying that the Licentiates in Pedagogy identify the Digital Culture in the initial formation when the university makes possible the presence of the digital technologies in the living spaces and the access to the wireless network, as well as also recognizing when the teacher makes use of the digital technologies in pedagogical practice.
