“…As a response, we obtained the following diagnoses from the constituent surveys of the Teaching Design II Project (Andrade et al, 2012;Lopes et al, 2012;Lopes 2014;Cadena, 2014;Barbosa, 2015;Bittencourt et al, 2015;Cadena and Coutinho, 2016), and discovered that: a) Teachers display a social disposition 16 towards the field of design, because they recognize design not only in its visual aspects, but also as a creative process; b) There is a need for an approximation to occur between design as knowledge and the teacher, 'in order to seek out an epistemological dialogue so that right from the time of their formation period, teachers may obtain an understanding of themselves as an active subject, as a communicator, developing and expanding graphic and visual thoughts' (Lopes, 2009;p. 42); c) Actions are needed in the school environment to train and monitor schools with regard to technological changes related to communication and information; d) Design contributes to ICT training, since teachers already understand that graphic design is a decisive component in the use of these technologies, and is able to help them understand and manage the appropriate production of visual messages present in educational artifacts; e) Design contents must be incorporated into teacher formation on degree courses, given the success rate of the experiments with MetDInfo (Barbosa, 2015) during the Design for Teachers course developed and taught by Lopes (2014), and the Projected Ideas course that examined the use of digital slide presentations by Cadena (2014).…”
