Mudança de ambientes escolares quanto ao uso das tecnologias digitais: alguns indicativos

Abstract

This paper aims to highlight the emergence of notes related to changes in the
environment of digital technologies uses in schools surveyed in the city of
Sinop - MT, during the development of the master's research. Four state
public schools was guested in the research. Data was collected through some
descriptive documents of the schools and interviews of the school team. This
paper shows the development of one part of the properties and their
dimensions identified during the research. Methodologically, it was adopted
the qualitative paradigm based in the idea of the authors Bogdan and Biklen
(1994), using the Straussian aspect of the TFD (Grounded Theory in the
data), for the analysis of the produced data. During the analysis process, two
categories emerged with their properties and dimensions. One property of
the Physical Structure category was presented, identified as use
environments, whose dimensions are the classroom and laboratory. This
property suggests that the precariousness and scrapiness of the schools'
computer labs, the lack of specialized technicians, the lack of internet for
students and the need for training teachers to use digital technologies, are
causing changes in the environment where these digital technologies are
used. There are some indications that classroom is becoming the conducive
environment for using digital technologies and one factor is the increase in
the number of students who have cell phones. Although this change is taking
place, there are still many challenges to be faced.
