O laboratório de informática como espaço de ensino e aprendizagem no ensino médio: obstáculos enfrentados pelas escolas públicas de Baía da Traição - PB

Abstract

This study aims to investigate potential obstacles to the implementation and sustainability of Computer Laboratories in state schools located in Baía da Traição - PB. To do so, it was grounded in theoretical foundations regarding the potential benefits that Computer Laboratories can offer for education; it presented the current school context in state schools in Baía da Traição, and identified the adversities faced in the implementation or sustainability of Computer Laboratories. The stated objectives were achieved through basic research, qualitative approach, descriptive objectives, and the adoption of multiple methodological procedures, including literature review. Data collection involved the analysis of 68 questionnaires from three different institutions, distributed both physically and virtually. We cited some theorists such as Tajra (2019), Rodrigues (2015), Freires (2019), among others. The final paper, after data verification, analysis, and discussions, proposes an extension project to address the identified issues. As contributions, this research shares with the scientific community the reality of educational institutions regarding the use of computer labs surrounding UFPB, Campus IV, in Baía da Traição, as well as contributes to the discussion of the need for more up-to-date teacher training to keep pace with the speed at which technology is developed and needs to be discussed in schools.
