Tecnologias móveis: práticas pedagógicas inovadoras

Abstract

Over the last few years there has been much discussion about the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in pedagogical activities. Teacher training contemplates the use of these technologies in pedagogical practices. The new generation of children and young people of the 21st century has already been born in a technological society, connected and there is no more escaping. Therefore, mobile technologies such as tablets and cell phones, for example, begin to gain space in the teaching and learning processes. This article has the purpose of presenting the use of digital resources in order to enhance the teaching and learning of technical components. The object of study is the use of mobile technologies through the use of a simulator application to support the study of radio communications and wave radiation in a class of trainees of the Telecommunication Technician course of a private school in the municipality of Santa Maria , Rio Grande do Sul. The qualitative research studied the particularities of the migration of the activities in the laboratory to activities with cellular use with the WiFi-Fresnel application. The students demonstrated a greater commitment to use the digital resource and a little difficulty with the application interface, but this innovation improved the productivity of the class allowing time gains and increase the learning quality of radio communications and wave radiation with the possibility to simulate the theory through a digital resource that students can manipulate and visualize the results directly.
