The Ministry of Education’s Course Is Open for Enrollment and Offers Free, 100% Online and Self-Instructional Training, with a Duration of 180 Hours and a National Certificate Aimed at Basic Education Teachers Who Wish to Improve Digital Practices.

The Ministry of Education offers the Course for Improvement in Education and Technology, free, 100% online, and with a 180-hour workload, aimed at Basic Education teachers from all networks.

The training is self-instructional, allowing for self-paced study and a 180-hour certificate issued by the MEC, which counts towards continued education validation.

What Is the Training and Why Was It Created

Designed for the school routine, the training gathers practical content for the pedagogical use of digital tools.

Curriculum Content Focused on Classroom Practice

The structure is organized into five modules addressing recurring themes in schools.

In Maker Culture, participants engage with “learning by doing,” emphasizing collaborative projects, prototyping, and problem-solving.

Hybrid Teaching covers fundamentals, planning, and possible combinations between in-person and online moments, always with didactic intentionality.

Next, Digital Educational Resources (REDs) provides guidance on curating and using videos, games, platforms, and supporting apps, with attention to age appropriateness, accessibility, and privacy.

The REDs for Language Teaching module discusses specific strategies for English and Spanish, including reading, listening, and oral production activities mediated by digital tools.

Finally, Technologies in Art Education explores resources for music, dance, theater, and visual arts, integrating authorship and critical appreciation.

Target Audience and Workload Organization

The target audience is Basic Education teachers, both public and private, who seek updates in digital methodologies and integration of technologies into pedagogical practice.

Support professionals and school managers can also benefit from the training path, especially those involved in planning, in-service training, and the implementation of digital culture projects.

The total workload of 180 hours is distributed between directed studies, practical activities, and evaluative moments.

Since the training is self-instructional, each participant organizes their schedule according to their reality, while committing to the tasks proposed in each module.

The virtual environment centralizes content, tracks, and assessment tools.

Assessment and 180-Hour Certification

The certification is official, issued at the end of the course through the MEC platform, after the completion of the proposed activities.

The document records 180 hours and can be used for functional advancement purposes, according to the rules of each education network.

There is no mandatory tutoring; navigation is guided by resources in the environment itself, allowing progress without the need for synchronous support.

As a platform practice, evaluative activities serve to verify the understanding of content and its application in lesson planning.

The participant’s history is available in the environment itself, recording progress by module and compliance with the requirements for certificate issuance.

Resources Available on the AVAMEC Platform

In addition to the modules, the virtual space gathers complementary materials, usage suggestions for free and proprietary tools, a bank of digital objects, and proposals for methodological adaptation for different stages of Basic Education.

For each topic, the training indicates examples of classroom application, pathways for safe content curation, and care with data protection and accessibility.

There are also guidelines for integrating technologies without losing focus on the curriculum and essential learning.

The training reinforces the teacher’s role in mediating the use of digital tools, encouraging practices that combine student authorship, problem-solving, and formative assessment.

Impact on Pedagogical Practice

Upon completing the course, teachers expand their repertoire to plan lessons with investigative activities, interdisciplinary projects, and responsible use of educational platforms.

The expectation is that digital resources will become part of the planning as means to achieve learning objectives, rather than an end in themselves.

As a result, educators gain references to adapt proposals to different school contexts, levels of infrastructure, and class profiles.

How to Enroll

Enrollment takes place directly on the AVAMEC, the virtual environment of the MEC. Interested individuals must access the platform, log in with a Gov.br account, complete the registration, and then enter the Education and Technology course to start studying.

Participation is free, enrollment is immediate, and the start is authorized after confirming registration on the platform.

Which aspect of the training would you like to apply first — Maker Culture, hybrid teaching, REDs, languages, or Art — to impact your students’ learning more quickly?

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.
