The use of new technologies in an experimental school of Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The use of new technologies in the educational environment is considered an innovative competence for teaching. The dialogue with the school culture must incorporate this form of communication in your way to see the world. In Rio de Janeiro, the Educopédia has been an interesting strategy. Investigated an experimental school students who use this resource since 2010. The methodology of this research was a survey of opinions of the type of quantitative survey. For data collection the Delphi technique for the construction of a Likert scale was used. We used 3 consecutive rounds to reach a consensus among informants. A sample of the interview in 3 rounds consisted of 50 students, 25 males and 25 females. Students support the insertion of new technologies in school and suggest that this could be explored further. We observed that the Educopédia is still not widely used in the classroom. All courses have low utilization in the perception of the students, especially English,
physical education and music education. We believe that this feature requires adjustments in your application. Greater focus on training teachers to work with the new process technologies is required. Games are one of the Educopédia resources that students like and at the same time, the least use in the lassroom. This illustrates that lack a strategy that seeks to recognize the profile and interest of students.
