HYPERTEXTUALITY AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY IN REMOTE TEACHING: perception of teachers of the Portuguese Literature course of the State University of Maranhão, Campus Timon

Abstract

The present research entitled “Hypertextuality and digital technology in remote teaching: perception of teachers of the Portuguese Literature course of the State University of Maranhão, Campus Timon” has as general objective to investigate the perceptions of the professors of the Portuguese Literature course of UEMA, Campus Timon, on the use of hypertext on the SigUEMA platform, in remote teaching. The specific objectives of the research are to describe the treatment given by teachers to the digital tool SigUEMA; to identify the teachers' perception about the platform's resources in remote teaching, and to analyze how the platform contributes to the implementation of hypertexts in remote teaching. The main authors who contributed theoretically to the research are Coscarelli (2009); Oliveira (2020), and Marcuschi and Xavier (2010). The research methodology is of a descriptive, qualitative and field nature, whose corpus is composed of a questionnaire with 10 questions, on Google Forms. This questionnaire was answered by 6 (six) professors from the State University of Maranhão, Campus Timon. As a way of organizing the data, we created tables containing the questions, parameters and answers. In general, the results demonstrate the relevance of hypertextuality for teaching and, on the other hand, a lack of digital technologies in remote teaching.
