Digital media and the Internet in teaching (Science and Mathematics)

In this work, we intend to reflect on digital media in science and ma- thematics teaching from theoretical readings and empirical works that consider, mainly, the Portuguese case. First, we will situate the debate in the internal con- tradictions of the representations of the school and the idea of crisis associated with digital media. Then we will address the problems specifically associated with the Internet and the way in which it is integrated into pedagogical practices and, subsequently, into the participatory culture. We will see how the gap between promises and reality is constant and significant. We will end our work with a brief reflection in which we call on those responsible for education to reflect on the role of the school in the appropriation of digital media and the Internet.
