Perception of the importance of digital technologies by teachers of initial teacher training courses in the municipality of Crateus, CE

Institutions of education, especially the basic education, can not remain oblivious to the training of students to use these tools in their daily practices. However, it is necessary that the teachers of the degree courses have initial preparation to prepare the graduates for the teaching practice. Thus, the objective of this work is to investigate the conception of the teachers of the undergraduate courses of the city of Crateus-CE regarding the importance of information and communication technologies for the training of undergraduate students. To carry out this qualitative research, a structured questionnaire was applied to the teachers of 6 undergraduate courses offered by public higher education institutions in the city of Crateus, Ce, inquiring about the domain and the perception of ICT as didactic potential. It was observed that the 41 teachers have contact with the technological resources. Of these, 27 teachers did not have training to use in their pedagogical practice, however, all teachers consider relevant the insertion of these tools in teaching. In this sense, the knowledge of the teachers with several technological tools is verified, which can be adapted for pedagogical practices and the acceptability of these tools as pedagogical potential when recognizing their relevance to teaching.
