Utilização sistemática das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação no ensino de eletricidade

Abstract

The following project aimed the systematic and integrated use of various resources of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in High School Electricity classes in Couto Magalhães public school, placed in the small town of Campinápolis/MT. Although the importance of ICT use in the learning process - in all the education levels- is already established in official notes, is known that such resources are still not part of the routine of most teachers and, those who use it, make a very sporadic use. Our proposal aims the introduction, in a very regular, systematic and integrated way, in the lesson plans, the most varied ICT resources available: computer simulations, collaborative edition software, hypertexts, smartphone apps, class e-mail, social networks, professor’s website, e-books, Prezi, besides web 2.0. The educational product composes of two parts: 1) A 19 classes sequence about the Electricity subject, including the ICT appropriate resources to the class’s goals and addressed themes; 2) Professor’s website, idealized as an important instrument of class extension and activities register of the subject. As a result of our work, we can assure that both teaching practice and student’s routine in the subject learning were positively changed with the insertion of ICT in their study routine. In the student’s path, we emphasize changing the time used at mobile devices into time studying Physics, interaction with the teacher and extraordinary motivation.
