Desafios na utilização das tecnologias digitais em uma escola estadual de Divinópolis (Minas Gerais)

Abstract

This dissertation was developed in the context of the Programa de Pós-Graduação Profissional em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação Pública of the Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Educação of the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The management case studied discusses the challenges experienced in the use of digital technologies in Escola Estadual Dona Antônia Valadares, located in Divinópolis-MG. The work was developed from the description of the management case, considering the professional daily life of the author, the documentary analysis of legislation and school norms and the identification of evidence in EEDAV through the application of a questionnaire to the teachers of school. A situation of underutilization of technologies in the teaching and learning practices of Escola Estadual Dona Antônia Valadares was identified. Therefore, in order to elucidate the described problem, we sought to base theoretical references capable of supporting the analysis of the information that was collected. Among the authors studied are Reis (2014), Levy (1999), Rojo (2013) and Freitas (2015), who promote discussions about the established relationship between digital technologies and contemporary society. This dissertation also described successful experiences in the use of technologies in schools. The present work also draws on studies of researchers such as Belloni (2012), Cappelletti et al (2007), Estevão & Passos (2015). In order to understand the causes of this situation of technological underutilization, data collection was done through a semi-structured interview. The reports obtained pointed out problems such as deficiencies in the initial training of teachers, lack of investment of the teaching network in training for the pedagogical use of technologies, infrastructure and equipment failures, and teacher demotivation for the didactic application of Information and Communication Technologies. The analysis of the collected statements made possible the production of an Educational Plan that proposes structured measures, mainly with a view to improving the technical and pedagogical training of teachers and school supervisors for the didactic use of technologies; and to the reformulation of the Projeto Político Pedagógico of EEDAV, adding to it interdisciplinary activities for the pedagogical use of Information and Communication Technologies. With this, it seeks to contribute to overcome the challenges identified in the research, thus contributing to the improvement of the diagnosed management situation.
