Abstract

The training of teachers for the use of digital technologies in the public network universe is a challenge to be overcome and will bring significant collaborations for teaching practice and effective learning of students. This research aimed to investigate the formation of teachers for the pedagogical use of Digital Information and Communication Tecnologies (DICT) in the school environment of the municipal public school of Timon-MA, besides analyzing the teacher’s perception about the importance of using DICT in the school environment. This research had as specific aims: to describe the policies of teacher training for the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT); identify the potential of DICT in teacher´s teaching practices; analyze teacher´s perceptions regarding the use of DICT in the teaching practices; develop the proposal for a course of further\continuing education of public-school teachers. Thus, this research is qualitative, having used the on-site visit in municipal schools of the network under study, and the application of a questionnaire to effective teachers from 6th to9th grades. The applied questionnaire was elaborated with items based on the Likert Scale that deal with the reality of the received DICT training; the infrastructure of DICT in the school and the conditions of the effective handling by the teachers with the intention of verifying the necessary validation for the teacher formation and the use of DICT in the school environment. Thus, this study also considered the relationship between teacher, student and DICT by digital age and generation. The results show that schools have a basic DICT infrastructure, and these are used with restriction by teachers and, thus, teacher training on DICT would collaborate in the teaching-learning process developed in the student-focused school environment.
