Uso de Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação por Docentes do Instituto Federal de Pernambuco – Campus Barreiros: Da formação à atuação docente

Abstract

The aim of this study was to verify whether initial or continuing teacher education prepares teachers for the proper use of TDIC in the classroom. The study used the field research technique, of an exploratory nature. The data collection procedures included the application of a semi-structured questionnaire and documental analysis of the lattes curriculum to 29 teachers from the IFPE-Campus Barreiros. In this investigation, it was found that universities still do not prepare (initial training) teachers for the use of TDIC. It was found that most teachers have limitations regarding the use of TDIC, in particular, the use of podcasts, educational software and social networks. Additionally, the professors recognize the importance of using TDIC, and claim to be available to carry out ongoing training courses.
