OLIVEIRA, Kaio Eduardo de Jesus; PORTO, Cristiane de Magalhães  and  RABELO, Samuel Francisco. Memes, online education and teacher training in digital culture. Acta Educ. [online]. 2025, vol.47, e71096.  Epub July 01, 2025. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v47i1.71096.

The culture of memes is actualized through the exercise of networked authorship and the playfulness that each individual brings to the communicative dynamics of digital culture. Therefore, it is essential to understand how the language of memes creates learning situations and, above all, how it can mobilize pedagogical practices. Thus, this article aims to analyze the meanings, significances, and digital competencies that internet memes can mobilize in the process of teacher education. The text presents qualitative research of a bibliographic nature and used an online questionnaire as the main data collection instrument, applied via Google Forms to a group of teachers in initial training, linked to a higher education institution in the interior of Sergipe in 2023. The study concludes that memes challenge teacher education as they can stimulate the development of didactic strategies and digital competencies that enable learning situations mobilized by online authorship, content curation, interactivity, and collaborative learning.

Keywords : education; teacher; training; digital culture.
