The production of media transforming legal learning

Abstract

This article is part of a master’s thesis that aims to understand the potential and limitations of building knowledge in law courses through through the cooperative creation of media by students. A qualitative approach with a descriptive-explanatory design was adopted. Although several studies demonstrate the effectiveness of using Information and Communication Technologies in the teaching and learning process, the differential of the developed research was to investigate the production of media in the context of legal education, seeking to reveal whether it is an effective alternative to promote the integration of students in the construction of their knowledge, contributing to their learning, as well as improving their ability to communicate and to critically and reflexively analyze legal norms. Data analysis indicated that the cooperative creation of media contributed to the teaching and learning process, by improving the ability to critically and reflectively evaluate legal content and the skills described in the National Curriculum Guidelines for Law Courses, related to reading and understanding texts, ability to communicate accurately, work in groups and use new technologies.
