A PERCEPÇÃO DOS DOCENTES SOBRE AS TECNOLOGIAS DA INFORMAÇÃO E COMUNICAÇÃO NO ENSINO DE BIOLOGIA

Abstract

Technologies, understood as formulations for the betterment of human life, have arisen since the dawn of civilization and have progressed incessantly. Due to this, today we are contemplated with countless technologies, especially in this XXI century, for Information and Communication Technologies, which are part of several spheres of social life and whose potential can be used in the didactic practices of teachers . This work aimed to analyze how the teachers of two state public schools located in the city of Areia-PB are using ICT in teaching biology. The data collection instrument used in the research was a semi-structured questionnaire, containing closed and open questions. The data were organized in graphs, addressing the following criteria: presence of computer lab or multimedia room in school; participation of teachers in some training in the area of educational technologies; use of technological resources in class; purpose in the use of technological equipment; relationship between the use of educational technologies and the evaluation process of their students; biology content that would be extremely necessary for ICTs. From the data, it was noticed that the ICTs contained in the educational space, made available by educational programs, such as ProInfo, are being integrated by all teachers in Biology teaching. Most of the teachers present a continuous formation in the Integrated ProInfo, being quite relevant for the evolution of their competences in their field of work. It is worth noting that some of them with a professional limitation in this area may compromise in some aspects a more coherent use of resources. In spite of this, we verified that the diverse audiovisual languages have been enriching the teaching and learning of students around the contents of Biology, a field that is essential for life, but which presents complexity and particularities.
