Tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação (TDICs): benefícios e dificuldades do seu uso como recurso pedagógico nas aulas de educação física de uma escola estadual da cidade de Juiz de Fora – MG

Abstract

This study was developed within the Professional Master’s Program in Public Education Management and Evaluation at the Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação of the Universidade Federal de Juiz de For a (CAED/UFJF). It investigates the benefits and challenges of using Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs) as a pedagogical resource in Physical Education classes at a state school in Juiz de For a, referred to as “Escola Saber”. The guiding research question examines how TDICs can be integrated into Physical Education teaching to expand pedagogical possibilities, considering the constraints of the school context. The main objective is to analyze the potential and challenges of incorporating DICTs into teaching practices. The study adopts a qualitative approach through a management case study, employing bibliographic review, document analysis, and field research with data collected via interviews, followed by data analysis and development of an Education Action Plan (EAP). The findings reveal that although DICTs are present in Physical Education practices, their use remains limited and could be expanded. Despite the availability of technological resources, issues such as insufficient infrastructure, limited access to equipment, lack of teacher, and resistance or insecurity among educators hinder their systematic integration into pedagogical pratices. In this sense, the Education Action Plan (EAP), developed sought to respond directly to the demands identified in the field, proposing strategies that involve improving infrastructure, such as expanding the availability of technological resources; strengthening teacher training for the pedagogical use of Digital Information an Communication Technologies (DICTs); promoting spaces for the sharing of practices; organizing institutional incentive action; and valuing initiatives that integrate digital resources into Physical Education teaching.
