Uso da tecnologia da informação e comunicação no ensino de ciências da natureza: uma revisão integrativa na educação básica

Abstract

A society in constant change poses a permanent challenge to the Educational System. Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) are one of the most prominent factors of this accelerated change, and this Educational System must be able to respond quickly. Various technological resources, such as digital games, applications, films, images and graphics, can act as tools to support the learning process. The use of these resources not only allows the development of knowledge in a playful and interactive way, but also increases student motivation. This work aimed to investigate the effectiveness of digital tools in the context of teaching Science in Basic Education, through a systematic review, covering the impact of these technologies on the educational process and the development of students' scientific knowledge. A bibliographical research of the integrative literature review type was used. This procedure was chosen to enable the synthesis and analysis of scientific knowledge already produced on the topic. It was possible to observe through the results that both articles that investigated teachers' perceptions and those that observed student learning showed positive results. In this way, it is concluded that the use of information technology has been experiencing notable growth in the school environment and in teaching methodologies within the classroom. The results obtained by the analyzed authors reveal promising contributions arising from the use of these technologies by teachers in the students' learning process.
