Abstract(s)
Ao longo dos anos, temos vindo a assistir a um grande desenvolvimento ao nível tecnológico de ferramentas de suporte ao ensino, nomeadamente as ferramentas da Web 2.0.
Essas ferramentas vieram favorecer o aparecimento de Comunidades de prática e a consequente cooperação e colaboração através da interação online entre educadores de infância.
É neste panorama que se criou a Comunidade de prática J@rdim do Girassol, oferecendo-se condições para os educadores de infância cooperarem e colaborarem nesta comunidade.
Tendo em conta a questão deste estudo “Em que medida as ferramentas da Web 2.0 favorecem a criação de CoP e a consequente cooperação e colaboração através da interação online entre educadores de infância?” optou-se por uma metodologia de índole qualitativa e do tipo estudo de caso. Os dados foram recolhidos através de vários instrumentos: focus group, observação participante e entrevistas. A recolha de dados incidiu também na análise qualitativa das interações feitas na comunidade de prática, para tal usamos o modelo de Miranda Pinto (2009).
Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a CoP analisada não se constituiu uma efetiva CoP, contudo, os participantes reconheceram que, independentemente da ferramenta de comunicação que usaram, este espaço online proporcionou condições únicas que facilitaram a cooperação, a partilha de ideias, a interação, a troca de materiais e a criação de soluções para problemas comuns das práticas profissionais em contexto presencial.

These tools led to the emergence Communities of practice and the resulting cooperation and collaboration through online interaction between kindergarten teachers. The Community of practice J@rdim do Girassol emerges from this context, offering conditions for kindergarten teachers to cooperate and collaborate in this community. Bearing in mind the question of this study: "To what extent do Web 2.0 tools facilitate the creation of CoP and the resulting cooperation through online interaction among kindergarten teachers?”, we have chosen a methodology of qualitative nature and case study type. Data were collected through several instruments: focus groups, participant observation and interviews. Data collection has also focused on the qualitative analysis of the interactions made in the community of practice, for this we have used the Miranda Pinto (2009) model. The results have shown that the CoP analysed was not an effective CoP. However, the participants recognized that, regardless of the communication tool they used, this online space has provided unique conditions that facilitate the cooperation, sharing of ideas, interaction, exchange of materials and the creation of solutions to common problems of professional practices in the classroom context.
