Use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as a teaching in Biology teaching

Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyse the use of Information and Communication Technologies as a teaching resource to improve the quality of the teaching and learning process in Biology teaching. The work is descriptive-quantitative in nature. To achieve the objective outlined above, 5 Biology teachers were questioned and 82 students were interviewed. Given the results obtained in the questionnaires and the interview, it was found that the use of ICTs as teaching resources in the school in studies faces major obstacles for teachers, as well as students. Even facing great difficulties, teachers and students recognize the importance of ICTs in PEA. ICTs integrated into education are an instrument that contributes to interaction and mediation in support of Natural Sciences classes, becoming a necessary resource for educational practice, as it illustrates and contributes to the presentation of content. But for this to happen, its use must be planned and adapted to the reality and profile of students and teachers.
