O uso das TIC em contexto educativo

: estudo de caso sobre as perceções dos docentes de Matemática do 3º ciclo em Escola de Setúbal relativamente ao uso das TIC em contexto educativo

Abstract

Nowadays society is ruled by times of great technological changes. These technological transformations can significantly change the way of life of society. The educational context is not immune to these changes. The National Technology Plan implemented in 2007 seems to have allowed a significant increase in the number of computers in schools. To Loureiro et al. (2010), the use of ICT in Portuguese schools is already a reality for most students and for some teachers. This new reality can certainly make way for a new world, full of communicative spaces. Teachers have an easy access to information at their disposal and new features that seem to show high potential for teaching. The use of ICT has over the years been the subject of several investigations, it is not granted that students learn with computers, but that students learn to think other ways (Jonassen, D. 1996). Knowing the perceptions that teachers have regarding the use of ICT in the context of the classroom may be relevant in the transmission of knowledge and in the determination of paths that can be inducers of learning. The perceptions when made aware may possibly be an important factor in promoting changes in teachers' pedagogical practice. With this study, we present the perceptions of teachers of Mathematics in 3ºCiclo, at a school in Setúbal, on the use of ICT in educational context. We identified barriers to their use in schools, and how the activities with ICT in the curriculum are integrated. It is intended through the answers to the questions to make changes that help the school to monetize their resources and increase the use of ICT by teachers in the context of teaching / learning.
