Percepções Docentes sobre a utilização de internet como ferramenta pedagógica no Ensino de Ciências Naturais nas escolas de Uruçuí - PI

Abstract

Nowadays, technology is part of many people's daily lives through cell phones, projectors, notebooks, smart TVs and so on. Faced with today's modernization, in many schools lessons are still presented in a classic way. For this reason, learning through practical and playful activities has become an integral part of facilitating education as a way of attracting the student's attention to the contextualization of the content to be taught. This means that there is an escape from a purely demonstrative approach. Having access to the internet and social media in the classroom can be a positive differential as tools to support information literacy. The general aim of this work is to analyze access to the internet in classrooms teaching Natural Sciences in schools in Uruçuí-PI through the perceptions of teachers working in the area. The specific objectives included carrying out a survey using an online questionnaire with teachers in the areas of biology, chemistry and physics. To identify different ways in which the use of the internet in the classroom can contribute to the teaching of natural sciences and to describe teachers' perceptions of the use of the internet as a teaching tool. The methodology consisted of applying a semi-structured questionnaire, made available online via a shareable link, to teachers working in the area of Natural Sciences (Chemistry, Physics, Biology). The information presented and discussed reveals that, based on the perceptions of the teachers interviewed, having access to the internet in the classroom is relevant to the teaching-learning relationship, since the tool opens up a range of options that allow teachers to have quick access to the information they need, and they can use this medium to lead students in the search for knowledge from different perspectives.
