KNOWLEDGE AND COMPETENCE: SCHOOL DIGITAL REPOSITORY

REPOSITÓRIO DIGITAL ESCOLAR

Abstract

 This ongoing research, part of a Professional Master's Degree in Library Science, aims to develop an institutional digital repository as a pedagogical strategy for EEMTI Presidente Geisel, in Juazeiro do Norte/CE, to optimize school knowledge organization and strengthen the research culture among students and teachers. The study addresses the problem of intellectual production dispersion, especially in the discipline Núcleo de Trabalho, Pesquisa e Práticas Sociais (NTPPS), whose pedagogical reuse is limited by the absence of a structured information preservation and retrieval system, aggravated by the lack of a formal school library. The methodology is exploratory-descriptive and applied, using participant observation, document analysis, bibliographic study, and questionnaires with teachers and students. Data analysis follows the qualitative method of interpretation of meanings. Preliminary results include the definition of thematic collections (NTPPS projects, teaching plans, institutional records, cultural production, and digital didactic resources), adoption of the metadata standard, and evaluation of three technological alternatives (DSpace/Greenstone, Google Drive, and integration with SIGE). An Implementation Manual was developed, systematizing deposit, access, preservation policies, and information literacy actions. It is concluded that the digital repository constitutes a viable and relevant solution for school knowledge organization, promoting student protagonism and curricular integration, especially in contexts lacking formal libraries, with potential for replication in other public schools.
