Characterization and valuation of the educational uses of ICT in 10 didactic history sequences in high school

Abstract

This study describes and characterizes the educational use of ICT in ten didactic sequences of teaching history classes in high school, as well as, the extent in which this educational uses may be considered innovative of the typical processes of teaching and learning history. The approach taken for the didactics sequence analysis is by identifying teaching performance segments (SAD). Main results show, in the didactic sequences, the presence of 13 types of ICT use; 4 in relation to the use of the teacher and seven to the students'. In conclusion, didactic sequences exhibit little diversity in the use of ICT practices associated to an essentially transmissive approach to teaching and preferably used by students.
