Informática na educação: o que ainda falta para melhorar essa conexão?

Abstract

The presence of ICTs, especially in computing is more present in people's lives. We can’t ignore this reality. The following research aims to investigate how the school is inserting the computing in learning process. The study is based on survey data and teachers’ testimonies involved in the process. The data collection was done through a questionnaire with open questions, applied to six schools in the State Schools of Santana do Livramento and sought to highlight factors which hinder or prevent this insertion, what the teachers do to overcome them, what alternatives solution they themselves point, which can contribute with computing and what can be incorporated to make a pedagogical performance. This work was based on bibliographic references, in teachers’ answers and aims to provide subsidies and show alternatives. We conclude that paradigm changes are needed, search for training and continuing education for teachers. The necessity of a person coordinating the information technology as a major figure in the articulation and development of the process was also highlighted. A set of actions providing conditions so that computing can be incorporated into teaching practice and education to assume its role as an agent of change.
