CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY IN PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE: AN ANALYSIS IN THE TEACHER'S CUSTOMER IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the challenges and opportunities in integrating technology into pedagogical practice from the perspective of elementary school teachers. The data presented here are part of a qualitative research with teachers from an elementary school located in the municipality of Vieirópolis in the state of Paraíba. The methodology used in data collection was interviews with two teachers. The collection seeks information about the training of teachers and their perception of the teaching and learning process using digital technologies. The results showed that the teachers had continued training to develop their classes using digital technological resources. They also indicated that there is still a need to learn even more how to use them to face the challenges that may arise. From this perspective, teachers recognize that studies and reflections must be carried out to enhance continued training on the integration of technologies into pedagogical practice and that can contribute significantly to the teaching and learning process.
