Recursos digitais na formação de professores de Ciências: alargamento de sentidos

Abstract

This work is the result of a research with students of a master's program in Science Teaching offered by a Brazilian public university within a research line named "Information and Communication Technology in Science Education". We have studied the academic production of two classes, totaling 7 graduate students (teachers working at public and private schools either in basic and higher education). Such production aimed at establishing a digital portfolio, using a blog as a platform. The analysis show: a) a gradual process of technological appropriation; b) unfolding the technology appropriation and application of the resources in the teaching practice of the graduate students; c) intensification of the interaction beyond the classroom; d) expansion of the initial proposal. Thus it is emphasized that digital tools constitute a valuable resource for teacher training and can instigate the pedagogical use of technologies in Science Education.
