MAGALHAES, Cláudio Márcio  y  ARAUJO, Wânia Maria de. Teachers and fear of the media. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2014, vol.39, n.3, pp.575-592. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v39i3.28753.

The media does not just offer representations of fear. For certain social groups, it is the source of fear. Teachers who have to deal with competition from the media and the new devices for Information Technology and Communication (ICT) in the classroom and outside feel cornered and react emotionally to an apparent loss of space. This article discusses some possible origins of these fears, and through information and the breakdown of prejudices, points to paths that could be taken to dispel this feeling of fear in the face of the new ICTs. The dearth of information about the concept of fear itself, the artificial division between the fields of communication and education, inadequate formation of teachers and the dilemma of identity are some of the ghosts that haunt teachers.Knowing how to face them is the main strategy for fighting them.

Palabras clave : Curriculum; Communication; Fear; Teachers; ICT.
