Abstract

Given the changes in the new national curricular guidelines based on the Brazilian National Common Core (BNCC) (Brasil, 2018), and the need for continued training for the digital competence of basic education teachers, this research examines the formative guidelines focused on digital culture competence. With preliminary studies completed, the project develops and offers an online extension program for the in-service professional development of English language teachers in the state basic education network of Pará, with a focus on digital culture. This paper presents the syllabus designed for the teacher education module aligned with the BNCC and DIGCOMPEDU Framework. As part of the theoretical and methodological foundation of the development program, the BNCC was used in conjunction with the guidelines in the European Framework for Digital Competence for Educators (Lucas; Moreira, 2017), and authors such as Redecker (2017). A methodological framework for the proposed program was provided by Filatro’s instructional design guidelines (2008, 2023), which outline five phases of the program, namely: (I) analysis; (II) design; (III) development; (IV) implementation, and (V) evaluation. Notable outcomes of this research include: an innovative proposal for English teachers' professional development; a product with high replicability in other areas of knowledge; a formative syllabus mapping BNCC to DigCompEdu; and the promotion of digital culture in public schools.
