This qualitative study was carried out in two public schools located in the city of São Paulo, SP, Brazil, and involved two primary school science teachers (one from each school). Its objective was to discuss the relevance of continuing education of Science teachers with the emphasis on the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in their teaching practice, the challenges faced by the insertion of these technological resources in the school environment, and improvements in school facilities. These aspects guide the need for training that prepares the teacher to deal with this type of situation. Data collection was done through the application of two interviews, at different moments of the research. These results were presented at an international event, Enseñanza de las Ciencias 2017, and we were able to observe the difference of realities between the science education in developed countries and noted the relevance of discussing this topic in the context of science teaching in Brazil.   Keywords: Teaching practice; Challenges in Science Education; Information and Communication Technologies.

Digital transformation of society and economy led to the rapid spread of information and communication technologies (ICT) in higher education, which became a new driver of development for global education and for the emergence of the phenomena of e-learning and blended learning, introduction of new types of educational resources, and increased diversity of information and communication technologies in higher education, which also led to a rise in the number of publications in this field. The article considers the essence and offers a classification of technical tools of e-learning. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of approaches to the formation of models of quality of electronic services and information technologies, as well as specific models of e-learning quality. This allowed the authors to propose a model of e-learning quality and determine the set of consumer properties of e-learning technology. The reported study was funded by RFBR, project number 20-010-00571 "The Impact of Digital Transformation on Improving the Quality and Innovation of Services".

Producing or updating an academic program implies a significant effort: involving people, academic units, knowledge elements, regulations, institutions, industry, etc. Such effort entails a complexity related to the volume of elements involved, the diversity of the origins of contributions, the diversity of formats, the representation of information, and the required granularity. Moreover, such effort is a common task performed by humans who collaborate for long periods of time participating in frequent meetings in order to achieve agreement. New educational approaches are heading to adaptive, flexible, ubiquitous, asynchronous, collaborative, hyper-mediated, and personalized strategies based on modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). We propose an approach for tailoring academic programs to provide a practical and automated method to discover and organize milestones of knowledge through the use of Complex Networks Analysis (CNA) techniques. Based on indicators from CNA, the act of tailoring an academic program acquires meaning, structure and even body elements.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is one of the approaches that most effectively emphasize the concept of individual uniqueness, at international level: each of us perceives the world in a different way, acquires and processes information in different ways, has multiple intelligences and skills. The trend of contemporary teaching places the focus on the characteristics and needs of the learner, so it is essential to recognize and value each member belonging to the class, including pupils with disabilities and learning difficulties. With the UDL it is possible to overcome the idea of modifying teaching activities at a later stage for those students who present difficulties, it starts from a design phase that already contemplates the differences between learners. Moreover, the relationship between the UDL, Information and Communication Technologies and disability highlights that ICT can facilitate daily teaching practice, renewing it and promoting significant learning that promotes the educational success of each learner. The conscious use of ICT is in fact one of the actions proposed by the UDL, in particular to achieve the flexibility sought in truly inclusive curricula.

The article address part of the results of the research that investigated the continuing education for the appropriation toinformation and communication technologies (ICTs) in teaching practice of literacy’ teachers.With qualitative approach, the study hadthe participation of four teaching teachers from two municipal schools of Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul through interview with semi-structured script. To add information, the teachers responsible for technologies class from those schools as well as the coordination of the Technology Center of Corumbá (TCC), they were also interviewed. The resultshighlightsthat continuing education coursesprovided the learning, once that information and communication technologies’ insert wasn’t addressed in initial educationof literacy teachers. However, despite the positive position in front of the programs and courses, some barriers were highlighted, such as: initial education gaps; schedules incompatibility, lackofqualificationfrom teachers. The study also pointed out the necessity of specific training actions that address the specificities of reading and writing teaching, starting from teacher’s needs and problematic situations. It’s possible conclude, therefore, that continuing education can be formed as a space that provides in a collectivity way, the construction of new knowledge as soon as requires a collaboration climate including all the educationalcommunity.

Digital skills are of great importance in the development of individuals to face the technological challenges that arise every day. With the confinement of students in their homes due to the emergence of COVID-19, is important the need to apply the digital skills of both students and teachers, to continue the educational process. There are five fundamental areas of digital competences according to the European Framework of Digital Competences, developed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC), which include 21 competencies that individuals must develop with respect to the use of information and communication technologies (Tics). A questionnaire was applied to high school students from the Escuela de Bachilleres Diurna de Pánuco, Veracruz, to identify the level of digital skills that students have, which would allow support in the development of their online classes. This article describes the results of the instrument applied in each of the areas where digital skills are classified.

During the historical development of didactic theory and teaching practice, numerous systems have been developed to determine the structure of work in teaching. The term system is a word of Greek origin and means attitude or order. Today, the term system is defined in different ways. It is defined as a set of elements whose mutual relations are based on certain laws or principles. The term didactics is also of Greek origin and originally means teaching, today we know that didactics is the science of teaching. There is no consensus in the didactic literature on what is meant by the term didactic or teaching system. The reason for that is that there are several divisions and explanations, because in the past period various didactic systems have been developed which determined the structure of work in teaching. Today, by teaching system we mean a shaped and designed way of organizing learning in teaching. Teaching systems are among the basic didactic issues and are the result of studying didactic theory and teaching practice. It is almost impossible to imagine a formal educational process without the application of modern educational technologies, which increasingly imply the intensive application of information and communication technologies and media. In this paper we will look at the very beginning of teaching and the traditional system of teaching in didactic theory.

Diante da atual realidade vivenciada pela sociedade em face de Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) e das possibilidades favoráveis que essas oferecem ao processo de ensino aprendizagem, visto alguns documentos como os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN), que regem a Educação Básica, indicarem as TIC como ferramentas eficazes no processo de ensino aprendizagem, surgiu a problemática de tentar entender porque as tão difundidas TIC não são devidamente utilizadas para fins educacionais, em função da aprendizagem dos alunos como poderiam ser. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar a percepção de professores de Ciências acerca do conhecimento e das possibilidades didáticas das TIC na educação. Nesse contexto, a pesquisa compreende um estudo de caso, em que foi observado o perfil do professor de Ciências do Ensino Fundamental e sua prática docente, os sujeitos foram professores do Ensino Fundamental II de uma escola da rede privada. A coleta de dados foi feita através de entrevistas com questionários abertos, os dados foram tabulados e agrupados em quatro categorias de análise. Essas categorias sugiram a partir da leitura das entrevistas, em que  foi feita uma saturação dos conceitos chave existentes nos depoimentos, de forma que as questões levantadas sugeriam uma forma particular de organização das informações obtidas durante o processo de obtenção dos dados. Observou-se com esta pesquisa que se as TIC forem bem aplicadas podem atribuir uma significância ao processo de ensino aprendizagem, e que contribuem significantemente para a motivação e interesse pela disciplina de Ciências. Palavras-chave: Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação. Processo de Ensino-Aprendizagem. Formação do Professor. Novas Metodologias de Ensino. AbstractGiven the current reality experienced by society in the face of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the favorable possibilities they offer to the teaching-learning process, since some documents such as the National Curricular Parameters (NCP), which rule  the  basic education, indicate ICT as Effective tools in the process of teaching learning, the problem of trying to understand why the widespread ICT are not properly used for educational purposes due to the students' learning as it could be arose. The objective of this research was to investigate the perception of science teachers about the knowledge and didactic possibilities of ICT in education. In this context, the research comprises a case study, where the profile of the elementary school science teacher and his or her  teaching practice were observed, the subjects were elementary school teachers II of a private school . Data collection was done through interviews with open questionnaires, data were tabulated and grouped into four categories of analysis. These categories suggest from the reading of the interviews, where a saturation of the key concepts in the statements was made, so that the questions raised suggested a particular way of organizing the information obtained during the process of obtaining the data. It was observed with this research that if the ICT are well applied they can assign a significance to the process of teaching learning, and that contribute significantly to the motivation and interest for the subject of sciences. Keywords: Information and Communication Technologies.
