Docência universitária: utilização das TIC s no desenvolvimento da prática pedagógica

Abstract

The guiding question of this research is to identify which knowledge is required for university professors on the proper use of new information technologies and communication in their classes in undergraduate courses. This study aims to systematize the main kind of knowledge required to professors in order to contribute effectively training new teachers to integrate ICT in their pedagogical practice. This is a qualitative and theoretical investigation that aims to describe the current stage ok knowing the studied subject. We studied recent researches on this theme published from 2009 and 2013, in order to identify what has been published, which are the significant findings as well what Brazilian researchers have studied and written in the late years. Research material was formed by papers, dissertations, thesis and books on this subject. Initially we analyzed the school current crisis, the relationship between society and school paradigms as well its implications. We also present the conceptions of computer in school, the teachers posture against it and the relativization of ICT\'S in the process of pedagogical change. Due to the significant role that Basic education teachers play in this process and the fact that they are not being properly trained to operate in this new context it is important to know which are the institutions that prepare these teachers as well the process of their training, their identification processes and its performance in different formats of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Brazil. So we arrived at the main point of this work that is to research, identify and systematize essential knowledge to these teachers practice in Higher Education in order to train them properly to use ICTs to improve learning process.
