Learning environment: technological pedagogical content knowledge

Abstract

The reflections are part of the Master's Dissertation entitled Integration of digital media in basic education for the study of sustainability, Professional Master in Business Administration from Unoesc, Chapecó (Brazil). The research aims to understand the TPACK structure and its relationship to the process of teaching and learning in the context of the classroom. The research addresses the integration of digital media in the teaching-learning process, allowing the student to learn in a healthy, pleasurable, meaningful and innovative way. The structure is based on Koehler and Mishra (2009), who touted the need for teachers to understand pedagogically the inclusion of technologies in the context of the classroom. The study was developed through qualitative research, using semi-structured interviews with teachers of the Education Network of a municipality located in the Santa Catarina’s State, characterized as a case study. As for its nature, the research is classified as applied and based on its objectives, the study can be considered descriptive. The dice were analyzed by content technique analysis. Among the main results, it is identified that teachers use digital media available in schools, but present traditional postures where the student becomes a passive being. In schools where digital media integration occurs, work depends on the computer teacher. Some teachers yearn for the integration of technological resources in teaching practice, however, they need training.
