The closure of schools as a result of COVID-19 has been a critical global incident from which to rethink how education works in all our countries. Among the many changes generated by this crisis, all teaching became mediated by digital technologies. This paper intends to analyze the activities carried out during this time through digital technologies and the conceptions of teaching and learning that they reflect. We designed a Likert-type online questionnaire to measure the frequency of teaching activities. It was answered by 1,403 teachers from Spain (734 primary and 669 secondary education teachers). The proposed activities varied depending on the learning promoted (reproductive or constructive), the learning outcomes (verbal, procedural, or attitudinal), the type of assessment to which the activities were directed, and the presence of cooperative activities. The major result of this study was that teachers used reproductive activities more frequently than constructive ones. We also found that most activities were those favoring verbal and attitudinal learning. The cooperative activities were the least frequent. Finally, through a cluster analysis, we identified four teaching profiles depending on the frequency and type of digital technologies use: Passive, Active, Reproductive, and Interpretative. The variable that produced the most consistent differences was previous digital technologies use These results show that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) uses are reproductive rather than constructive, which impedes effective digital technologies integration into the curriculum so that students gain 21st-century competencies.

RESUMO: A formação docente relacionada ao uso das tecnologias digitais é uma importante questão para a Educação Básica na contemporaneidade. As novas competências docentes são fundamentais para práticas de ensino e aprendizagens exitosas, principalmente as que envolvem o uso das tecnologias, tais como Internet, dispositivos móveis, redes sociais online, entre outros recursos. A capacitação docente precisa explorar o desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades técnicas e pedagógicas, norteadas pela reconstrução do conhecimento como forma de relacionar a informação à prática formativa, utilizando a tecnologia não como um fim em si mesma, mas capaz de revolucionar a prática pedagógica. Dessa forma, o presente estudo tem como objetivo abordar a utilização das tecnologias digitais e oferecer material didático com propostas de trabalho com as TIC, a ser disponibilizado por meio de um curso de formação para docentes da Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Rio de Janeiro (SEEDUC-RJ), via plataforma Moodle, com o objetivo de capacitar e oferecer estratégias para incentivar os educadores a inserirem as tecnologias de informação e comunicação em suas práticas docentes de forma contextualizada e planejada pedagogicamente. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: tecnologias de informação e comunicação; aprendizagem colaborativa; ensino.   ABSTRACT: The teacher’s training related to the use of digital technologies is an important issue for Basic Education in contemporary times. The new teaching skills are essential to the successful teaching and learning practices, especially in those that involve the use of technologies such as the Internet, mobile devices, online social networks, among other resources. The teacher’s training needs to explore the development of technical and pedagogical skills, guided by the reconstruction of knowledge as a way of relating information to a formative practice, using technology not as an “end” in itself but as a way of changing the pedagogical practice. Thus, this study intends to discuss the use of digital technologies and offer a pedagogical material with proposals to work with ICT through a training course for teachers of the State Secretary for Education of Rio de Janeiro (SEEDUC-RJ), through the Moodle platform, in order to offer strategies to encourage Educators to insert the information and communication technologies into their teaching practices, in a contextualized and pedagogically planned way. KEYWORDS: information and communication technologies; collaborative learning; teaching.

The report presents the author’s experience in integrating modern ICT technologies in the process of teaching and learning in school. The emphasis is on the use of mobile devices and the integration of cloud technologies in schools. As an ICT teacher, the author provides some practical guidelines on how to apply innovation. The generation of 7 screens does not know a world without digital technologies and mobile communications. The discrepancy between the expectations of the digital generation and the reality in our schools is in terms of the information and communication technologies (ICT) used in them and the didactic models. Adolescents, when they find themselves in an environment that does not meet their expectations, are demotivated and redirect their attention to other objects and goals and stop being active in class. The use of the so-called. „Cloud“ technologies will significantly increase the interest and retention of students. The modern approach to building information systems is focused on developing solutions in which the collection, input and output of information is carried out through WEB-based applications or platforms.

This study focuses on how students of vocational courses related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) perceive the use they make of technologies in their learning. A questionnaire survey was applied in classroom to 314 students from 4 private and public schools, with the aim of understanding if the students recognize benefits in the use of ICT in teaching and learning, by answering the 34 premises presented to them. Most students recognize benefits from the use of ICT in teaching considering it improves and facilitates learning. They recognize the need to improve the pedagogical use of ICT and that teachers from the scientific and sociocultural components still make little use of the technologies in the classroom. These students consider that the courses they take prepare them to integrate the labor market, indicating good practices in learning with and from technologies in the technical classes. The premises about the disadvantages and obstacles resulting from the use of ICT were the ones that gathered the lowest consensus among students. They consider that the use of ICT is essential in learning and preparing to work with ICT and in a broader sense to live in a society of information and knowledge.
