Digital technologies and the interface with chemistry teaching: a look at teaching practice

Abstract

Digital information and communication technologies (TDIC) contribute to changes in society in the social, cultural and economic spheres. It is pertinent that Chemistry teachers understand the changes that TDIC cause, objectiving to update themselves by performing a teaching praxis that meets the educational demand. The objective of this work was to investigate the representations of Chemistry teachers about the use of digital technologies in teaching practice. To this end, an opinion research was carried out with Chemistry professors. The answers expressed in the opinion research reinforce the need for a deeper look at the training of Chemistry teachers. Respondents are not indifferent to the relevance that TDIC maintain within schools, but the obstacles to using these resources with didactic domain are still diverse. In view of this scenario, there is an evident need for reflection on how these professionals can meet the guidelines indicated in the BNCC, acquiring a more qualified education.
