Resumo(s)
Com o presente estudo, de carácter exploratório, pretendeu-se contribuir para a
resposta a algumas das questões que emergem do âmbito da formação contínua de
professores no domínio das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC).
Entre as questões que se colocam, é importante indagar se a formação
proporcionada aos professores vai ao encontro das suas necessidades e se esta formação
se vai repercutir ou não no desempenho profissional dos docentes. E também importante
conhecer os motivos que levam os docentes a escolher este tipo de formação, bem como
a sua opinião sobre o tipo de abordagem às TIC nela realizada.
Nesse sentido, inquirimos uma amostra constituída por professores que
frequentavam formação contínua nos Centros de Formação de Associação de Escolas do
concelho de Castelo Branco e dos seus concelhos limítrofes.
Os resultados obtidos espelham a percepção destes professores sobre as questões
enunciadas. Embora não sejam definitivos nem generalizáveis, estes resultados levaram-nos
a concluir que os professores percepcionam a formação contínua em TIC de uma
forma positiva, desde a oferta que é apresentada, passando pela abordagem pedagógica
realizada e terminando nos efeitos e implicações dessa formação na prática docente.
Com efeito, verificámos que os docentes inquiridos não só se encontram satisfeitos com
a quantidade e a diversidade da formação contínua em TIC que lhes é oferecida, como
consideram que esta tem qualidade e que é eficaz, pois vem ao encontro das
necessidades do sistema educativo e dos professores, no âmbito do seu nível de ensino
e/ou disciplina.
In this study, of an exploratory nature, we wish to answer some questions which have come up in the field of continuous learning for teachers in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Among the questions addressed it is important to look into whether or not a course organized for teachers will meet their needs and if a course will have an influence or not on the professional life of the teachers. It is also important to know what motivates teachers to choose this type of course, as well as their opinions about the type of approach that has been taken to ICT. Bearing this in mind, we investigated a sample of teachers who attend continuous learning courses in the Centros de Formação de Associação de Escolas (Course Centre for the Schools’ Association) in Castelo Branco and neighbouring councils. The results obtained offer the perception of these teachers on the given questions. Although they are not definitive or universally applicable, the results lead us to the conclusion that teachers view continuous learning courses in ICT in a positive way, in what regards: the way they are presented and offered, the teaching approach that is taken and the effects and implications of these courses on their teaching practice. We can, indeed, verify that the teachers inquired were not only satisfied with the amount and diversity of the continuous learning courses in ICT they were offered, but also felt they were of quality and were effective, appropriate for meeting the needs of the educational system and o f the teachers, for their level of teaching and/or the subject.
