Utilização de tecnologias digitais na formação de profissionais da educação para o uso do Suap

Abstract

Technological innovations are part of the history and evolution of societies. In vocational and technological education, digital resources can be utilized in various ways, contributing to the organization and management of teaching, enabling teachers to apply innovative practices and approaches in their work. However, despite the advances achieved, the use of digital technologies in the educational context presents a series of challenges, among which can be highlighted the difficulty of accessing resources and the insufficiency of professional training, situations that may be related to the lack of appropriate investment in technological support and equipment and the shortage of training practices offered to teachers. In this context, the present research aimed to promote teacher training in digital technologies for the use of the Suap (Unified System of Public Administration) at the Federal Institute of Acre, Rio Branco Campus. The research problem seeks to answer what are the difficulties encountered by teachers at Rio Branco Campus related to the use of digital technologies in the organization and practice of teaching. This study was conducted within the scope of the Professional Master’s Program in Professional and Tecnhological Education – ProfEPT, under research line Educational Practices in Professional and Technological Education, and as part of Macroproject 3, Education Practices in the Integrated Curriculum. The research developed in stages, initially proposing an investigation of the level of knowledge and competence of teachers for the use of digital technologies aimed at the use of Suap and Sigaa educational management platforms and systems, necessary for the execution and organization of their activities. Based on the diagnostic data collected, the research revealed the perception of participants regarding gaps in teacher training for the use of educational systems and platforms, pointing out the need for the development of training strategies and resources that meet the specificities of these professionals. The analyzed data supported the development and application of a teacher training proposal for the use of the Suap unified public administration system in the teaching module. An educational product was developed in the format of a training course structured in learning modules, available in online format. The research results indicate that there is a clear recognition of the need and value of digital technologies in educational practice, with the effectiveness of teacher training being promising when guided by pedagogical principles and structured appropriately. The data further reinforce that the effectiveness of using digital technologies in education does not reside exclusively in technological tools, but in the quality of pedagogical integration, in adaptation to specific learning contexts and in attention to teacher needs
