Análise das percepções sobre a utilização de TICs na integração entre escola e família em uma instituição pública federal

Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of guardians of students from the integrated high school program at the Instituto Federal do Piauí, Campus Pedro II, regarding the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the interaction between family and school. Adopting an exploratory and qualitative approach, the research employed content analysis techniques. An intervention was conducted to train guardians in the use of academic platforms such as Unified Public Administration System (SUAP) and Google Classroom. Data collection was carried out through forms applied before the training to gather preliminary information about the guardians’ familiarity with ICTs, and after the training to capture their perspectives on the use of the technologies presented during the short-term course. The analysis was based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, evaluating performance expectancy, perceived effort, social influence, and facilitating conditions. The low participation rate in the intervention (3%) highlighted socioeconomic and cultural challenges. Despite these difficulties, the results indicate increased familiarity and confidence among participants in using these platforms after the intervention, enhancing communication and academic monitoring. The study underscores the importance of ICTs in facilitating communication between families and schools and highlights the need for the continuous inclusion of guardians in the educational context.
