Atividade de pesquisa escolar mediada pela internet

Abstract

Through this article, we investigated the potential of the Internet in teaching-learning process at the State School Dr.Ibis Castillos de Araújo Lopes, from Júlio de Castilhos / RS. For this, a questionnaire was administered to teachers and students in fifth and sixth grade of this elementary school, in order to verify if the Internet is used as a teaching resource in classroom. After that, we planned and implemented lessons for this class with a scholar research activity mediated by the internet in order to observe the interest and development of student’s learning. In these activities, we guided and showed to students the proper way to use this tool in research. Thus, it was found that students, despite limited knowledge of the resources that the internet can offer, were more willing and interested in class using this tool. Likewise teachers were aware of the wealth provided by her, but little use in their classes.
