This paper presents partial results of a master's degree research which, in light of the concept of reflective education, investigated formative processes related to the appropriation and use of new information and communication technologies by students of a Teacher Education Course for child and early years of elementary school, in mid-level technical vocational at a state school in Paraná. We regarded a theoretical foundation from the epistemology of reflective thinking and from authors who problematize relationships between technology and education. This qualitative research applied intentional sampling. In focus groups, we interviewed students in the course's fourth year. We developed a Content Analysis of the obtained data, producing a categorization. The results point to the necessity of intensifying initial and continued training in education regarding new information and communication technologies.

Keywords : teacher training; vocational education; reflective education; formative processes; new information and communication technologies..
