VELLOSO, Maria Jacy Maia  e  CASTANHEIRA, Maria Lúcia. Digital inclusion and reading practices in a telecentro. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.60, pp.288-307.  Epub 04-Fev-2020. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/1981-416x.19.060.ds13.

In the context of the implementation of public policies for digital inclusion in Brazil, this article examines reading practices associated with computer and internet use by residents of Paineiras, a quilombola community located in the north of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A Literacy as Social Practice approach and an ethnographic perspective were explored to examine how and why people use computers and the internet and what actions and interactions they developed with the establishment of a telecentre in this community. The analysis made visible two modalities of use of computers, which were classified as free use and oriented use. The contrast between these modalities showed that reading practices in the first modality were more directly related to personal interests and social functions of writing, particularly, communication with friends and relatives in social networks. In contrast, the reading practices developed in the second modality, associated with a digital course offered to residents of Paineiras, showed no links to students’ experiences, interests, and needs, privileging the teaching of software (e.g. Excel). The analysis presented suggests that the digital course’s decontextualized approach discouraged students to engage with the proposed teaching activities and limited their learning possibilities of digital resources.
