Um estudo sobre a utilização de laboratórios de informática do PROINFO / FNDE em escolas municipais de Valença - BA

Abstract

The process of computerization of schools has been growing rapidly, both by demands of these entities and by social demands. But much is still being discussed about the use of ICT’s in schools in the teaching-learning process. Some affirm that the presence of computers in schools does not guarantee use as a didactic tool, since education has not yet learned to appropriate the resources offered by the ICT’s. Some government actions, such as Proinfo/FNDE, aim to promote the distribution of computers and training professionals for didactic use. Launched in 1997, Proinfo intended to train teachers, and attend students, with the distribution of computers. Following the policy of decentralization, he assigned the responsibility to the agreed entities to guarantee the adequate structure for laboratories and to enable educators to use them. In Valença-BA, it is currently the largest school computerization program with 12 schools. The internship modules, of the licentiate degree in Computing, in programs of initiation to teaching take us to the insertion in the context of the Valença-BA municipal education. Therefore, it is essential to know, in this reality, aspects such as the use of laboratories and the knowledge of teachers and students of available tools. Thus, this study was developed on the use of Proinfo computer laboratories as teaching tools in municipal schools in Valença-BA, seeking to know the experience, implementation, preparation, among others.
