Abstract

The use of technological resources has gained significant attention in the school context, due to the process of massification of electronic equipment in people’s daily lives and the incorporation, almost imposing, over the last few years, also in the teaching-learning process. The research was carried out with the objective of understanding the use of ICTs for learning the curricular component of Natural Sciences in state schools in the urban area of the city of Humaitá-Amazonas. To this end, two procedural researches were carried out with a qualitative approach, namely: and, a field survey, where teachers of Natural Sciences and students of the 9º grade of elementary school were invited to answer an online questionnaire. Through documentary analysis, the limited presence of ICTs was understood, namely, as a material resource to administrative and pedagogical activities, and without representation of use for the teaching-learning process of curricular components. The analysis of the perception of the teachers of Natural Sciences revealed the recognition of ICTs, however, through the analysis of the teachers’ posture, it was noticed the uncertainty of the inclusion of ICTs in the teaching-learning process in the classroom, due to the execution of laws prohibitive. It is concluded that ICTs are present in the school context, but are not used by many teachers, nor by the majority of students for the learning of Natural Sciences due to paradigms established at school by past legislation.
