Initiative expands digital training for teachers with a focus on artificial intelligence applied to high school, offering free, online, and certified training, in addition to practical content on ethical use, creation of didactic materials, and the impacts of technology in the contemporary school environment.
The Ministry of Education is open for registrations for the course AI in teaching practice: ethical, creative, and pedagogical use – High School, a free, online, and certified training primarily aimed at teachers working in this stage of basic education throughout the country.
The training has a workload of 80 hours, is self-instructional, and allows participants to progress at their own study pace, provided they respect the minimum period of 20 days for completing the required activities within the provided virtual environment.
The initiative integrates broader educational technology training actions and seeks to support the critical, ethical, and pedagogical use of artificial intelligence in the classroom, focusing on practices aligned with High School and the current demands of digital education.

Use of artificial intelligence in basic education
The course was structured to present concepts of artificial intelligence, computing fundamentals, data literacy, and the functioning of algorithms, in addition to discussing the impacts of technology on the world of work and also on contemporary school routines.
Throughout the training, educators also come into contact with concrete possibilities for the pedagogical use of generative AI, including support for the creation of didactic materials and the planning of activities aimed at High School students.
The proposal is not limited to the technical use of digital tools, as it broadens the understanding of how technology can be strategically incorporated into daily school life, respecting pedagogical limits and promoting more dynamic learning.
The training also addresses responsibility, authorship, critical analysis of information, and the necessary precautions for technology to be applied safely in the educational context, avoiding inappropriate use or excessive dependence on automated systems.
Target audience and national reach of the Distance Learning course
The priority is to serve High School teachers, but the training can also be accessed by pedagogical coordinators, education professionals from other levels, undergraduate and pedagogy students, as well as those interested in digital education.
As the course is offered in distance learning mode, participants from different regions of the country can follow the content through the AVAMEC platform, a virtual learning environment linked to the MEC and already used in other official training programs.
Registration does not require an exam, curriculum analysis, or a qualifying selection process, which broadens access and allows more interested professionals to participate in the training without facing traditional elimination stages.
Entry occurs according to the availability of vacancies, and access to the content is released after enrollment in the course environment, allowing for immediate start of activities and greater flexibility for organizing the individual schedule.
Certification and completion requirements
To receive the certificate, participants must complete all stages provided in the training, finish the activities proposed throughout the modules, and take the post-test within the teaching platform used by the MEC.
The free certification can be used to prove continuous education, especially by professionals seeking to expand their knowledge of emerging technologies applied to education and update pedagogical practices in the face of digital changes.
The self-instructional format allows for greater flexibility in organizing studies but requires discipline and planning from the participant to follow the modules, complete tasks, and finish the course within the rules defined by the platform.
How to register
Registration must be done through the AVAMEC platform, where interested individuals need to access the course catalog, locate the training AI in teaching practice: ethical, creative, and pedagogical use – High School, and confirm enrollment with their registration data to gain access.
