Tecnologia digital na escola: contribuição do setor de TIC para apoio ao processo ensino-aprendizagem

Abstract

Digital technologies have changed students' behavior. Therefore, schools have gradually begun to deploy computers, projectors, digital slates, tablets, and educational software in the classroom as support in the teaching-learning process. This new scenario, despite presenting challenges and uncertainties, creates new opportunities such as the transformation of an expositive and traditional classroom into an environment that stimulates learning and collective construction. This work studied the impacts of these digital technologies in classrooms and the contribution of the National Sector of Information and Communication Technology - TIC with their equipment and software developed locally to support the teaching-learning process. Twenty-three companies and two Research and Development Institutes that invested in ICT Research and Development in the educational area were surveyed. The research was qualitative, case-study and descriptive, supported by semi-structured interviews. Research has shown that companies and institutes have developed tools that support the teaching-learning process, are aligned with the world market and recognize the teacher as the main agent of change. Regarding the Federal Government, in the opinion of the MEC representatives, ICTs have a very important role to support the teaching-learning process and prepare the student for the job market. However, the focus of the Ministry of Education (MEC) is on the student rather than on the creation of educational innovation tools; in addition, they recognize that it is necessary to urgently improve quality and access to the Internet in schools, but the great Problem that is the lack of financial resources.
