O uso do celular na sala de aula: o que pensa os docentes do ensino fundamental

Abstract

In the context of the invasion of the new information and communication technologies in the classroom, we find the teacher wondering about the scope of the new educational resources and how to position themselves onto that. Most see themselves in the situation of deciding or prohibiting the cell phone, which could turn out to be a technological educational tool, punishing the student and keeping his class in a traditional way and without much absorption of knowledge by the student; The purpose of this study was to verify the use of mobile technology, specifically in the classroom, in the pedagogical perspective of teachers as an auxiliary resource in the teaching / learning process. The research was carried out with ten elementary school teachers of a school in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba, the research counts on the support given by the authors Kensky, Gonnet, Moran and others. After the analysis of the questionnaire responses, I verified the non-security, autonomy and knowledge of some teachers regarding the use of this device in the classroom and also noticed that this situation is in transition phase when we observe that some teachers already use it in the classroom and believe in the applicability and connectivity of this resource beyond the walls of the school and that this resource is clearly a facilitator of learning, making education collaborative, thought-provoking and meaningful.
