As tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação como ferramentas no ensino superior: Um olhar para as Ciências Naturais

Abstract

With the development of Digital Information and Communication Technologies - TDICs, many have experimented with the use of new technologies, reformulating the way of thinking, acting and creating. Likewise, in the face of a new education model, more than the simple transmission of content is needed, it is necessary to diversify and create new ways of teaching, especially with the use of digital technologies, in order to generate skills and abilities in students. . Considering the above, this research aimed to research the use and acceptance of technologies in the classroom by teachers and students, making a comparison with the previous scenario and during the COVID-19 Pandemic, the question of the use of technologies in a post pandemic. To this end, questionnaires were applied to students and professors of the Biology Courses at Centro Universitário FAG and Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná and the Chemistry course at Instituto Federal do Paraná, located in Cascavel-PR. The questionnaires were applied using the GoogleForms® Platform. The analysis of data from this research, with a qualitative nature, was based on Bardin's content analysis. It was observed that teachers and students make use of digital technologies in the classroom and that teachers intend to use it even more after social isolation. It was also noticed that students and teachers consider the technologies fundamental for a more meaningful learning.
