A inserção da tecnologia na educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

In this qualitative study, we propose to analyse the methodologies used by teachers at the Dom Helder Camara and Antonio Pereira de Almeida schools in João Pessoa, and whether they make use of technologies in the classroom. In order to carry out our analysis, we held interviews with two teachers and observed the classroom practices of the same teachers. Our objective in discussing this theme is to call attention to the contribution, which the inclusion of technology can bring to the educational context. Its insertion by the teacher in a pedagogical way can lead to significant learning by the Youth and Adult Education student, developing activities, which make use of technologies present in the daily life of students. The educator who works with young people and adults needs access to continued training concerning educational technology, in order to be able to respond to the demands of this context. By means of this study, w e intend to express the reality of the way in which teachers emphasise the use of technologies in the methodologies adopted by them and the importance of a didactical reflexion on the teacher ́s educational practice. The study reveals, in an exploratory manner, the importance, which teachers give to technology in the classroom, how they use it in their educational praxis and which methodologies they use with youth and adult students.
