In this context, the mass dissemination of fake news has deepened, along with post-truth, according to which the subjectivism of individuals overrides the objective analysis of facts. Without digital literacy, individuals become vulnerable to digital bubbles, manipulated by algorithms developed by global oligopolies, which strengthen the spread of false information and ultra-conservative discourses on the internet. Media Education is provided for in the 2018 BNCC, although it has been criticized for diverging from the historical conceptions of EPT in Brazil. This research aims to identify the impacts of digital disinformation among students of the integrated technical courses at IFAL - Campus Marechal Deodoro and the possibilities of Media Education in the context of EPT. The theoretical and analytical framework is guided by historical-dialectical materialism. The research has a qualitative-quantitative approach, an applied nature and an exploratory objective, carried out using the action research method, with a proposal for intervention in the group being researched. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires. The target audience was students on the integrated technical courses in Tourism Guide and Environment at IFAL - Campus Marechal Deodoro. The techniques used to analyze the data were basic statistics for quantitative data and categorical content analysis for qualitative data. The results analyzed in the exploratory phase indicate that the circulation of fake news has an impact on various areas of the IFAL - Marechal Deodoro Campus school community and that most students have difficulty discerning false from true information, especially when it is associated with traditional press outlets or produced through deepfakes. As an intervention proposal, with the collaboration of teachers, an educational product (EP) was developed in the format of an Interdisciplinary Pedagogical Workshop on Media Education, applied to a class of the integrated technical course in Tourism Guide. The evaluation of the EP, carried out by participating students and teachers, demonstrates the positive effects of using TDICs in the classroom and of the educommunicative perspective at school, as well as highlighting difficulties for interdisciplinary practices on campus. Based on the contributions, the EP was adjusted and made available for use by EPT teachers and educommunicators.Acesso AbertoEducaçãoEducação midiáticaFake NewsTeachingFake newsMedia educationDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
