This dissertation was created within the scope of the Criatividade e Inovação em Processos e Produtos Educacionais (CIPPE) research line of the Programa de Pós-Graduação Criatividade e Inovação em Metodologias de Ensino Superior (PPGCIMES), of the do Núcleo de Inovação e Tecnologias Aplicadas a Ensino e Extensão (NITAE2), at the Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA). Its aim is to develop and implement, using active methodologies and practices, a didactic sequence that uses fake news as didactic resources in the training of history teachers. To achieve this goal, the educational product was prototyped in the form of a didactic sequence entitled "DesmitiFake!", which was presented in two meetings aimed at the History undergraduate course audience. Subsequently, this educational product was tested and validated with the participation of students on the History degree course at UFPA's Faculty of History, showing promising results in terms of student involvement, engagement and learning in the development of educational strategies that enhance critical and problem-solving skills using fake news as a didactic resource. Next, a website was designed to host all the materials created to implement the didactic sequence, with the aim of providing opportunities, creating and occupying the spaces made available by Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs), in order to promote the dissemination of tools that can support the process of confronting fake news and bring the target audience closer to the potential provided by DICTs. In this way, the results of the research indicate viable theoretical and methodological tools for tackling fake news, through active methodologies and practices aimed at History undergraduate students.

In last years, a large amount of information has been transmitted through the Internet, especially in social media, providing greater knowledge on various topics, but making people susceptible to false information that can cause various damage. Although it is not a recent phenomenon, the sharing of false news has been a matter of concern for specialists and the population in general, since it can cause impacts of national and even global proportions. The transmission of fake news can cause various damages, from financial to losses related to defamation, injury, offense, reputation or dignity of people or organizations. The spread of this false information has made it difficult to detect reliable news sources, increasing the need for computational tools that can help identify the reliability of digital content. Moreover, the massive amount of data generated daily at high speed and different types of formats such as text, images, videos and audios, makes analysing this data a big challenge. With the advent of big data technologies, it is possible to use a range of tools and techniques to efficiently store, process and analyse massive data to help investigate the credibility of news disseminated and shared by middle of the internet. This paper discusses the importance of Big Data to combat fake news, based on an appropriate conceptual and technological framework, and presents a Big Data architecture proposal for storing, processing and analysing large data sets, aiming to assist in the investigation of truth of news. For this, experiments were performed using a mass of data containing different formats, i.e. structured and unstructured data, extracted from news sources and forming a corpus composed of false and true news. This mass of data was stored in a Hadoop cluster using the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). The corpus was processed using the MapReduce programming model and the news classification was performed using the Naive Bayes algorithm from Mahout library, obtaining an accuracy of 99.74%. The preliminary results produced by the development of this study reveal an architecture capable of storing, processing and analysing Big Data in the context of fighting fake news.
