Impacto do uso das TICs no processo de ensino e aprendizagem no Instituto Industrial e Comercial Eduardo Mondlane de Inhambane (2020–2022)

Abstract

The present study aims to understand the impact of the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the teaching and learning process at the Eduardo Mondlane Industrial and Commercial Institute of Inhambane (2020–2022). ICTs promote the personalization of teaching, allowing students to learn at their own pace, in addition to stimulating critical thinking, autonomy, and collaboration through online activities. The methodological approach of the research is qualitative in nature, using interview and survey techniques. A total of 78 people were surveyed, including 02 school managers, 10 teachers, and 66 students, in order to obtain sample results that reflect the broader context. The research findings revealed that the use of ICTs today brings numerous benefits when incorporated into the teaching–learning process. It was also observed that ICTs facilitate communication between teachers and students in the TLP (teaching–learning process). In education, technological resources must be well applied and widely used, as they form the basis for citizen development and contribute to the acquisition of important skills in the 21st century. It was noted that the IICEM has only 05 (five) computers, which shows a weak alignment of the Institute with the technological world of today. As a recommendation, it is proposed that training and capacity-building be promoted for all trainers regarding the implementation and use of ICTs in the TLP; and that support be provided to all Technical and Vocational Education schools, as well as general education schools, in obtaining the necessary equipment for the implementation of ICTs.
