Abstract

This Supervised Teaching Practices Report wants to reflect on the work done in the practical component of teaching in the workplace. It was developed within the Second Cycle of Studies in “Ensino de Informática” (The teaching of Information Tecnologies) from the “Faculdade de Ciências Sociais” of Braga’s regional centre from “Universidade Católica Portuguesa”. This Master’s degree gives a professional qualification for teaching Information Technologies, allowing the Supervised Teaching Practice (STP) in the second year of this studies cycle. Aimed at the consolidation of theoretical and methodological skills in the field of Education Sciences, this report discusses the pedagogical-didactic conceptualization, reporting some experiments carried out in the classroom and beyond. The educational action was developed in a cooperative school where “Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC)” (Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)) in the 9th grade in the Portuguese school system, was lectured. In the research component, a case study was carried out, with the aid of the school’s teachers from the STP, that aimed to assess the continuous formation of the teachers in the ICT domain and the applicability of the knowledge obtained in their formation to their activity as a teacher. With this case study we intend to find out how the teachers utilize the ICT in their work, namely in the preparation of their pre-lectured, lectured and post-lectured activities and understand the importance attributed to their utilization. The study, in this case a case study, was developed in a school on the outskirts of Amares, in the district of Braga and involved a sample of 41 teachers from a possible universe of 92 that taught at this school in 2012/2013. During this study, there was a clear interest from the teachers surveyed in the acquisition of knowledge in ICT. They are essentially motivated by the importance they attribute to them for their activity. The majority incorporate them regularly, albeit with some predominance in tasks adjacent to the classroom.
