O Professor e as tecnologias digitais em sala de aula: dificuldades e incertezas

Abstract

The age of technological evolution is evident in our daily lives and its influence is increasingly present in our lives. The educational environment, like others, also underwent changes arising from this digital age and, consequently, in the role of the teacher there were also significant changes. The new paradigm of the use of digital information and communication technologies in teaching situations seems to be in a favorable sense regarding the teachers' opinion about the use of ICTs in the classroom. Some teachers, having the first contacts with the technologies, expressed some difficulties added of uncertainties in these situations as well as in the construction and the mediation of the knowledge using the TDIC´s in their pedagogical practices. In this case, it is necessary to understand how the teacher overcomes the obstacles in his daily life to make use of ICTs in the classroom due to meaningful learning. Given this problem, the present article highlights the results obtained through an investigation that aimed to identify the influence of ICDs on pedagogical practices, more precisely, the impediment factors that supposedly contribute to some teachers to feel discomfort or difficulties in using of digital technologies in their pedagogical practices acting in propaedeutic disciplines of public schools: EM Prof.ª Márcia Francesconi Pereira, EM Deodoro Azevedo, EM Ione Nogueira and EM Maestro Rui Capdeville, all from Cabo Frio - RJ. From the methodological point of view for this research is the hypothetical-deductive method, we used the following procedures: bibliographic survey on the topic of research and application of online and face-toface questionnaires. Thus, data analysis allowed the identification of teacher needs for training, involving practical activities with ICTs and teaching. The opportunity to advance in this subject and to develop new ways of dealing with digital technologies in the classroom shows that much is needed in this field of study.
