ABSTRACT
Recursos Educacionais Abertos (REAs) têm emergido como um importante elemento da educação na sociedade contemporânea, possibilitando novas perspectivas de construção e partilha de conhecimento que transcendem as restrições impostas pela educação tradicional. Embora REAs possam trazer diversos benefícios e impacto sobre a educação, sua adoção ainda é limitada. No Brasil, em especial, há falta de evidências sobre a produção e o uso efetivo de REAs na educação, seja na modalidade presencial, híbrida ou a distância. Neste trabalho, uma pesquisa baseada em survey é conduzida com o objetivo de determinar “como” é o processo de desenvolvimento de REAs e evidenciar as principais barreiras e lacunas associadas, bem como fatores que possam ampliar a produção e a oferta de REAs no cenário brasileiro. Os resultados obtidos apontam para a necessidade de um esforço coletivo (governo, instituições de ensino, pesquisadores, educadores e aprendizes) para prover a fundamentação e os mecanismos adequados à produção, uso e compartilhamento de REAs, ajudando

Open Educational Resources (OERs) have emerged as an important element of education in the contemporary society. They open new perspectives for the construction and sharing of knowledge, transcending the constraints imposed by traditional education. While OERs can bring many benefits to, and impact on, education, the adoption of OERs remains limited. In Brazil, in particular, there is a lack of evidence of the production and effective use of OERs in education, whether in the classroom, in a blended or distance mode. This paper reports on a survey-based research conducted to determine the development process of OERs in Brazil. It highlights the main barriers and gaps, as well as factors that may expand the production and delivery of OERs in the Brazilian context. The results indicate the need for a collective effort (government, educational institutions, researchers, educators and learners) to provide the rationale and appropriate mechanisms for creating, using and sharing of OERs. This will help to promote the idea of open access and participation of all citizens in education.
