Scientific knowledge is a social construction gained over time; however it is possible that students do not have that understanding. According to Carvalho (2001) is possible that scientific concepts in many cases are not articulated to the daily lives of students and issues of social context. Based on an action research this work tries to detach the importance of making proposals of activities that bring together the scientific concepts with daily life is-sues of students. For this purpose we used the information and communication technologies, focused on the production of comics supported by computers. The problem presented to students was about the processes of soil sealing and the consequences for cities such as floods and droughts. The result allowed students to reflect in pairs and with teachers about these prob-lems for their lives. Students were encouraged by the use of computers in a social context to articulated scientific concepts to communicate science. While the comics produced by students supported teachers to understand the process of student learning allowing the mediation’s inferences in Natural Science Education. Key words: comics, cultural tool, environmental issues, ICT.

<p>The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) integration in the teaching and learning practices of educational systems. The study is carried out by reviewing various literatures and studies on the ideas of ICT and its usage in teaching and learning practices. The study reveals that ICT is vital to transform the teaching and learning process and has a great importance for both teachers and students. It also looks at the definitions of ICT as given by different scholars. Lack of well-equipped ICT tools, beliefs and commitments of teachers as well as students on Technology-based Teaching and Learning practices are the main challenges of ICT implementation in education successfully.</p>

This study aimed to establish the extent to which Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been integrated into the teaching and learning of Geography in Seychelles Secondary Schools. The focus was on key issues such as policy provisions for the integration of ICTs into the Seychelles curriculum; teachers’ and students’ perceptions about the use of ICTs in teaching and learning of Geography; the types of ICTs used; and challenges faced in the integration of ICTs. Possible solutions are also explored. The researchers opted for a qualitative methodological approach to generate rich and in-depth data. The aim was to learn and understand from the case rather than to prove and establish cause and effect. Thus, various methodologies such as document analysis, focus group discussions and interviews were employed. Geography teachers and students were the main participants in the study, although other participants such as Ministry of Education officials were also interviewed. It is anticipated that the research findings and recommendations will benefit policymakers and practitioners in the Seychelles education system.

Computers offer several opportunities that encourage the promotion of teaching and learning experiences.  Like many other nations, Morocco has understood the importance of using computers in schools and universities. For this reason, the Moroccan government has launched several projects aiming at the diffusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education system. Actually, ICTs are useful for both teachers and students in the sense that they help teachers develop professionally. Also, students can increase their achievements and become independent learners. This paper aims to examine the various factors that have high impact on English professors’ use of computer technologies for pedagogical purposes in Moroccan universities. Descriptive analysis of means, and standard deviations were used to analyse the collected data. Also, inferential statistics, mainly Pearson Product Moment Correlation, were employed to account for this correlation. The findings revealed that lack of institutional support has a big influence on professors’ decision to utilize or refrain from using ICTs in their classroom practices.
