Keywords: Research-training in cyberculture; Online Teaching; Fake News; App-Learning
This work sought to understand the context of the emergence of fake news and its repercussions on society, including education, and to develop cyber-research-training methodologies in post-truth times (SANTAELLA, 2018). We present here a discussion on the topic of fake news from a theoretical-methodological repertoire located in multi-referentiality (MACEDO, 2010; ARDOINO, 1998; SANTOS 2005; 2015, 2019), in researches with everyday life (CERTEAU, 2008; ALVES, 2009, 2019) having as a method and policy option a research practice that promotes an immersion and co-authorship action in the field, forming and graduating in exchange with cultural practitioners (SANTOS, 2005, 2015, 2019). We present the Reglu research device as a proposal for pedagogical practice in cyberculture, as a curriculum act in teacher education, with the main objective of understanding the context of the emergence of fake news and its repercussions on society, including in education to develop teaching methodologies and research that can, in addition to understanding the phenomenon, develop propositions for educational purposes. The field of research was the daily life of the discipline of "Informatics in Education" of the Degree in Distance Pedagogy Course at UERJ/CEDERJ/UAB lived with a view to investigating how this war of narratives has been modifying the forms of teacher performance and training through studies of phenomena that emerge from everyday life and their appropriation by cultural practitioners. From the sharing of knowledge, experiences and the proposition of new literacies in the creation of narratives and images of the act of confirming and proving facts and data used in speeches in the mass media and other publications shared in the network, they left three notions that we consider research findings: The importance of the act of reading; cyberactivism as a praxis of freedom and collective intelligence: a reunion with artificial intelligence, as well as the proposition of a dialogue between teacher education and new forms of contemporary socialization and learning.
