Com este trabalho pretende-se compreender se a utilização das Tecnologias da
Informação e Comunicação, em contexto de sala de aula, contribui para a motivação
dos alunos de uma turma de Percurso Curricular Alternativo. Do ponto de vista do
enquadramento teórico, o trabalho centrou-se nas temáticas/conceitos de Necessidades
Educativas (NE), Percurso Curricular Alternativo (PCA), Abando escolar, Insucesso
escolar, Integração e inclusão, Motivação escolar, Teorias da aprendizagem e
Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC). Ao longo do trabalho procuramos
compreender se o uso das TIC promove a motivação escolar de alunos de PCA,
contribuindo assim para melhorar a sua aprendizagem. Ao mesmo tempo, procurámos
compreender o modo como os alunos encaram as TIC.
Para atingir esta finalidade adotamos uma metodologia de estudo de caso,
optando-se por uma análise eminentemente qualitativa dos dados recolhidos. Como
técnicas de recolha de dados recorremos à observação de aulas, pesquisa documental e
entrevistas aos alunos da turma em estudo.
Os resultados evidenciaram que os alunos de PCA preferem aulas onde são
utilizadas as TIC, pois consideram-nas mais motivadoras e facilitadoras de
aprendizagem.
Esperamos que as conclusões obtidas contribuam para uma melhor
compreensão do binómio TIC/Motivação em turmas com caraterísticas semelhantes à
estudada.
This work aims to understand if the use of Information Technology and Communication in the context of the classroom, contributes to the motivation of students in a class Course Alternative Curriculum. From the standpoint of the theoretical framework, the work focused on themes / concepts of Special Educational Needs (SEN) Course Alternative Curriculum (PCA), Early school leavers, School academic failure, Integration and Inclusion, School Motivation, Learning Theories and Technologies Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Throughout the paper we understand if the use of ICT promotes the motivation of school students from PCA, thus contributing to improve their learning. Simultaneously, we tried to understand how students perceive ICT. To achieve this purpose we adopt a case study methodology, opting for an eminently qualitative analysis of data collected. As techniques of data collection we used the classroom observation, documental research and interviews with students in the class under study. The results showed that students prefer classes where PCA is used ICT, because they consider them more motivating and facilitating learning. We hope that the conclusions will contribute to a better understanding of the binomial ICT / Motivation in classes with similar characteristics to the study.
