Diagnóstico sobre uso das tecnologias da informação e comunicação para o ensino de ciências: uma análise dos TCC produzidos na Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas da UFPB

Abstract

Currently, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been increasingly integrated into education, challenging teachers to adapt teaching methodologies to incorporate these resources effectively. This study analyzes Course Conclusion Papers (TCC) of undergraduate students in Biological Sciences at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) on the use of ICT in Science teaching, considering productions from the last 10 years (2013 to 2023). The analysis revealed three main categories: Active Methodologies in Science and Biology Teaching, where ICT promotes interactive activities, but faces access barriers and technical limitations; Technology and Scientific Literacy, where ICT is an important tool for developing critical thinking, but is hampered by the lack of infrastructure, especially in rural areas; and Educational Games for Learning in Science, which engage students, but depend on individual devices and stable internet, presenting limitations in schools with few resources. The results show that, although ICTs offer new pedagogical possibilities, their implementation requires support policies, teacher training and adequate infrastructure so that they can achieve their transformative potential in the teaching of Science or Biology.
