A inserção das TDICs em um contexto escolar rural: uma análise da Escola Margaria Souza

Abstract

Technology has evolved impressively throughout human history. We are currently experiencing a process of technological revolution that directly and indirectly interferes with our way of living and interacting with other people in our daily lives. In this way, the Digital Technologies of Information and Communication (TDICs) become essential mechanisms not only to make communication more efficient, but also to facilitate access to knowledge in a democratic way and to serve us as useful tools for educational practice. However, not everyone has access to these technologies. Hence, a reflection is made on the trajectory of education offered to the rural population, which in most cases is marked by delay, insignificance and poorly structured schools. It is for this reason that this work aims to analyze the use of TDICs in a rural school in the city of Seabra-BA. Thus, Margarida Souza municipal elementary school was taken as the object of study, which is located in the village of Bebedouro, a few kilometers from the municipal district. The result achieved here is the result of a long process of bibliographic research, direct follow-up with the school involved in rural education, visits, application of questionnaires and their analysis. In this sense, it was found throughout the research on rural education that older teachers (in this case with more than 25 years of teaching) experience more difficulties in using ICT and that students from locations furthest away from the school suffer not only with the inherent difficulties of new technologies, but with the learning process as a whole.
