Atuação docente no ensino de ciências: Um estudo sobre as práticas pedagógicas através das ferramentas digitais

Abstract

The use of technological resources in the educational system is already an impermissible necessity, however, in view of this, it is necessary to consider that it is not always clear how this tool should be used in the classroom. Digital technologies are resources that permeate people's lives directly or indirectly every day, modifying human relations in social, cultural and economic dimensions, and in the educational environment has not been different, although incorporating them as pedagogical tools still is a challenge for education professionals, both in relation to the scarcity of resources, and in relation to the difficulty of adapting to new teaching methods by some professionals. In this sense, the work had as objective to analyze the digital tools as a pedagogical resource in the classes of Sciences of Elementary Education. To do so, it proceeded with exploratory research, with characteristics of field research with qualitative analysis. The research made it possible to consider that in the midst of learning difficulties it is necessary to seek new teaching methods, and although some teachers of elementary school science still use traditional methods, it is necessary to realize that the integration of new pedagogical practices does not consist in the abandonment of practices already existing, but that in the midst of social and cultural changes we must add what is new, in this case digital. It is concluded that educational institutions should be prepared to deal with digital technology, as it is a reality of students and teachers, who are increasingly connected and it is up to the school to keep up with the pace of change. Thus, digital technology can be a great ally in the teaching of Elementary Science, it is enough for the school and the teacher to organize for this.
