Utilização e integração das Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação nos processos de ensino: um estudo a partir da capacitação do PROMIDIAS

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate conditions that influence the use and integration of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC) in pedagogical actions of teachers of the municipal public network of Pelotas, based on a training proposed by the PROMIDIAS / UFPel Group together with the Education Department of this municipality. Through the research, divided into two stages, we sought to (i) investigate individual, collective, institutional and paradigmatic conditions that influence the use and integration of TDIC in pedagogical actions of these teachers; (ii) to investigate, in the group of teachers who completed the training, conditions, reasons, beliefs, postures and / or knowledge that favored the completion of this training, as well as to understand possible reasons for the high dropout rate of teachers who did not complete formation; (iii) to present an analysis of indicators of levels of integration of the TDIC in relation to the teaching practice of some teachers who completed the training in a post-qualification period. In the first step, for (i), an analysis of questionnaires answered by teachers was used, based on a qualitative and quantitative approach. In the second stage, for (ii) and (iii), a Multiple Case Study was proposed, using a questionnaire and a semi-structured individual interview, as collection and analysis instruments for the data obtained. In relation to the theoretical reference, this study was based on theoretical assumptions of Sibilia (2012), Fantin and Rivoltella (2013), Almeida and Valente (2011), Moraes (2002), Costa (2004, 2013), Churches, Puentedura (2014), among others. Reflections were made on the possibility of integrating TDICs into the school curriculum, as well as on conditions that influence the use and integration of TDICs in teaching processes. Discussions are proposed on how to explore pedagogically the potentialities that TDICs make possible, so that they are not just technological tools to replace old practices. The importance and necessity of Continued Teacher Training, based on the pedagogical use of digital media, in teaching environments is highlighted. The revised Bloom Taxonomy was used as an evaluation tool for the PROMIDIAS training. As results, it was possible to identify conditions that influence the use and integration of the TDIC in the teaching processes and also to analyze indicators to evaluate stages of integration of the TDIC in pedagogical actions of teachers, in a post-qualification period. Through this study it was possible to conclude that exploiting the pedagogy of TDIC allows to modify, transform teaching and learning environments, effectively opening a space for a new moment in Education. New educational paradigms, and new methodological proposals arise when integrating digital technologies effectively, using their potentialities
