SILVA, Obdália Santana Ferraz  and  JEREZ, Sergio Alejandro Rodríguez. Research in education in cyberculture: teacher training for / in complexity. Acta Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.42, e52870.  Epub Sep 01, 2020. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v42i1.52870.

This text is the result of one of the collaborative researches, related to teacher training, developed in partnership with Basic Education teachers who participated in an Umbrella project, carried out in the period from 2014 to 2019, by the research group that we coordinate, within the scope of programs stricto sensu graduate courses from universities in Brazil and Colombia. Based on the epistemology of complexity, it aims to reflect on the training of teachers to work in the context of cyberculture, consisting of technological and linguistic complexities, and characterized by the multiliteracies that weave the citizen life of teachers and students. Collaborative research was adopted, in this study, as an educational and scientific methodology and principle, of political-educational quality, and Discursive Textual Analysis was the basis for the analysis and interpretation of data. The results obtained, from a semi-structured interview, carried out between February and May 2019, with six teacher educators, working in Higher Education and / or in Basic Education, lead to the conclusion that teacher training needs to articulate the pedagogical, political and cultural for teaching in a school routine marked by uncertainties and conflicts that take place in the social, science and technology fields; the diversity of culture and languages; by the polyphony of conflicts that impels the teacher to understand the meaning and the social place of the school. This reality challenges the teacher to train for the problematization, coping and collective overcoming of challenging situations, among them, that of educating in the context of complexity that manifests itself daily in cyberculture.

Keywords : digital culture; teacher training; epistemology of complexity; collaborative research.
