O uso didático do computador nas aulas de língua portuguesa do ensino fundamental.

Abstract

Educational activities carried out at school are also sociocultural activities, which are exposed to technological reality and, as a consequence, to the fascination process which comes from it. Thus, it is healthy to reflect on the possibilities of a dialogue between the technological culture and the education and also the chance of integrating this technological culture to the pedagogical practice which teachers are responsible for. Therefore, this work is the result of a research which investigated how Portuguese lessons are taught, with the use of computers, at the final years of Primary School. In this regard, the aim was to investigate which methodological techniques and/ or practices are used by teachers and if the use of computers in Portuguese classes occurs in a planned way. The locus of this investigation was a public school located in the interior of Paraiba State, which received 505 (five hundred and five) portable computers through the Programa Um Computador por Aluno – PROUCA - program, and by the Grupo Focal (technique research / data collection), it was investigated the teaching / pedagogical practice of Portuguese teachers together with the use of educational technologies, particularly the use of computers, at the final years of Primary school. The work is divided in six parts and within them it is possible to find discussions about Public Policies of access to technologies at school, analysis of the use of technological educations in the learning context and a theoretical study concerning the use of Information and Communication Technologies – TIC regarding the teaching and learning of Portuguese, considering inputs by Freire (2008), Masetto (2009), Mercado (2002), Moran (2009), Selbach (2010), Tardifand Raymond (2000) among others. Conclusively, after the presentation and analysis of the results, it is proposed an intervention towards the development of the pedagogical practice allied to the use of educational technologies, which can be accomplished with Portuguese teachers as well as the ones from the most varied knowledge areas.
