Um caminho sem volta: o uso das tecnologias digitais por professores em uma escola pública em Campo Maior-PI

Abstract

Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) are continuously present in society's daily life and are significantly changing the way people live, thus demanding digital literacy. This study is based on the following problem question: how is the use of digital information and communication technologies configured by teachers working in the 5th year of elementary school at a public school in Campo Maior-Piauí? Its general objective is to analyze the use of digital information and communication technologies by 5th grade elementary school teachers in a public school in Campo Maior-PI. The research is characterized as a field study, descriptive with a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews to produce the data. The investigation was carried out in a municipal school, with three teachers working in basic education. The theoretical basis was based on the work of Valente (1999, 2005, 2018), Reis (2022), Gatti (2019), Moran (2000), among other authors. The results revealed that, even without specific and adequate training in the use of digital technologies, teachers understand technological resources as relevant tools in teaching practice, and have shown interest and effort in trying to include TDIC in the classroom.
