To Ronald da Costa, community aspect that structure the operation of free software should be widely worked in the classroom to form citizens who take this habit in their lives beyond the walls of school.
“The great thing about free software combined with education is we transpose this philosophy of cooperation, exchange of experiences, of giving to others. The free software has this philosophy and education, the important thing is to show it to the student. From the moment that we show the possibility of the role, it is transformative, “says Ronald Coast.
Teachers are in the process several challenges, including the fact dealing with generations of students who are already accustomed to technology, often more than themselves. In this sense, the researcher points out the need for teacher training for technology still in undergraduate courses. “You have to approach the professional that language so that when there is use (cell in school), he did not depart the learning process tool, but can use as a vector to drive this process of learning,” he believes.
