O uso pedagógico do computador: um desafio para o novo educador

Abstract

This article intends to prove that the computer utilization as a methodological resource dynamizes the teachings practice and benefits the students’ learning, contributing to the improvement of the reading and interpretation skills. To elaborate it, a study of the case was done with students in the third year of the Fundamental School E.E.EM. General Jose Antonio Flores da Cunha, in Santana do Livramento, R.S. During the experience it was observed that the use of the computer contributes to the students’ learning improvement and benefits the knowledge construction, which proves the necessity of changing the traditional teaching patterns, refreshing the pedagogical practice. It is the teachers’ responsibility, facing cultural changes, to internalize the idea of implanting a serious work that contemplates “the different” and “the new” , so that his/her lesson brings a different approach to the students’ learning that differs from the conventional one, in which he/she is not the only one to perform the function of teaching , but to become a supervisor in the process of knowledge construction, in which the student has a space to interchange experiences and to share doubts and learning.
