Abstract

The present dissertation was developed within the scope of the Mestrado Profissional em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação (PPGP) of the Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Educação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The main objective of this study was to investigate the enhancing elements of innovative pedagogical practices with the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the management of schools. The management case studied discussed the elements that promote innovative pedagogical practices with the use of ICT in a school in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais. In order to do so, eight (8) schools were identified and mapped in the region of Janaúba (MG), which one has standed out in the use of technologies, seeking understand how the institution has been able to mobilize actors to get involved and become interested in the use of these technologies. In this qualitative research, the following instruments were used to produce data: questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, besides analysis of documents on official websites of the Ministério da Educação (Ministry of Education), of the Secretaria de Educação do Estado de Minas Gerais (Secretary of Education of the state of Minas Gerais) and school documents, as well as consultation of books and texts of authors who dealt with the theme ―use of new technologies in the service of learning‖. From the identification of the paths taken by this school in the construction of its practices with the use of technologies an educational action plan was proposed which can help others schools to develop and/or enhance practices of the use of ICT in their contexts.
