Usos e desafios das tecnologias no ensino de biologia

Abstract

This bibliographic study aims to analyze the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs) in Biology teaching, particularly within Brazilian public schools. The research identifies the main advantages offered by DICTs, such as expanded didactic possibilities, visualization of complex concepts, and promotion of active learning. Simultaneously, the study highlights challenges to effective implementation, including insufficient infrastructure, limited teacher training, and resistance to methodological change. Data analysis was based on studies published between 2021 and 2025, obtained from academic databases such as Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and the CAPES Journals Portal. The findings reveal that for meaningful integration of DICTs into Biology teaching, it is essential to invest in continuing teacher education, curricular reform, and public policies that foster technological equity. It is concluded that the consolidation of innovative and technology-mediated pedagogical practices depends on the articulation of technical resources, teacher competence, and context-oriented curricular proposals.
