Formação em MOODLE de professores de uma escola básica portuguesa: que efeitos na sua prática docente?

The information and communication technologies, as the modern alchemy, are present in all human activity, so it would be very strange if they were not also present in education. The Portuguese legislation sets as compulsory some cyclical and regular training as a condition to career progression to all the teachers, not only nursery teachers but also secondary teachers. This obligation connected with the need felt by the teachers for training in ICTs, in particular in Moodle learning platform, available in almost all Portuguese schools, leads to the widespread of training in this subject. In this article, we portray the practical effects of one of those training through the ana lysis of da ta gathered by survey questionnaire. The main conclusions to be drawn are the little significance that teachers attribute to the use of Moodle as a learning platform and that, with or without specific training, most of the teachers only use it to access information sent by the high- level or middle-level leaderships of the schools.
