Abstract

The research proposal emerges within the scope of creating digital platforms for education and unfolds within the network movement formed by GPe-dU UNISINOS/CNPq and Atopos/USP, based on elaborations on Digital Citizenship and the OnLIFE Education Paradigm. From the research, development, and training trajectory of the groups, the problem of this research project arises: how does the OnLIFE Education Paradigm contribute to thinking about a digital platform that supports education in ecologically connected contexts, not only human, becoming an environment for education and practice of digital citizenship? The objective is to develop an eCOnective platform that enables the enhancement of pedagogy and didactics in digital environments, aiming to produce and promote Education for sustainable interactions between humans and non-humans. Developed from the Cartographic Method of rECOnective Research-Intervention, the expected results are: 1) Creation of a Digital Citizenship discipline based on the OnLIFE Education Paradigm; 2) Identification of elements contributing to co-create the eCOnective Platform; 3) Co-creation of the eCOnective Platform; 4) Expansion and deepening of theorization on eCOnective platforms and training for networked environmental practices and solutions; 5) Deepening of pedagogical practices among humans and non-humans, strengthening the perspective of Digital Citizenship; and 6) Preparation and submission of publications in high-impact scientific journals. The OnLIFE Education Paradigm, coupled with Digital Citizenship, proposes an education linked to the living conditions of current generations. These articulated concepts will underpin the construction of the platform and contribute to the development of socially sustainable Education that meets the needs of the dwelling of teaching and learning in this third millennium.
