Análise dos factores tecnológicos favoráveis à inovação pedagógica: estudo de caso na Escola Secundária Solidariedade - cidade de Maputo 2020-2023

Abstract

This paper analyses the technological factors that favour pedagogical innovation, taking as a case study the Escola Secundária Solidariedade in Maputo City during the period 2020 to 2023. The general objective of the study is to analyse the technological factors that favour pedagogical innovation at Escola Secundária Solidariedade. To achieve this objective, three specific objectives were defined: (i) To identify the technologies favourable to pedagogical innovation in use at Escola Secundária Solidariedade; (ii) To describe the process of implementing information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the teaching and learning process; (iii) To assess the current level of access of students and teachers to technologies favourable to pedagogical innovation. A qualitative approach and questionnaires were used as data collection techniques. The results indicate that Google Classroom is the most used and preferred platform, followed by Zoom. Multimedia projectors were considered the most effective technology for engaging students. However, it was observed that the integration of technologies in pedagogical practice is inconsistent, and there is a significant need to improve access to technological resources. Most of the survey participants recognized Educational Games as valuable tools for promoting interaction and engagement. It was concluded that investments in technological infrastructure, technology training for teachers and students, and technology integration policies are essential to overcome challenges and promote pedagogical innovation in schools.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
