Abstract

GUERRERO, Irán  and  KALMAN, Judith. La inserción de la tecnología en el aula: estabilidad y procesos instituyentes en la práctica docente. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2010, vol.15, n.44, pp.213-229. ISSN 1413-2478.

In recent years the use of technology in Mexican schools to modify current practice in classrooms has been emphasized. Even when teachers adopt technological innovations practices are maintained rather than transformed. Few studies document empirically the said stability. This text intends to reveal evidence of the permanence and variations which arise when technology is used in the classroom. To that end, we analyse the case of a teacher who uses the computer to develop the theme of Geography with secondary school students. We intend to identify the interactions which promote this use of technology, the students' forms of participation and the stability and change in practices, with the objective of contributing to the discussion on technology in schools and to show that the computer is more than a didactic resource for transmitting information. It is a socio-cultural artefact with potential for constructing meaning.

Keywords : Technology; Teacher Practice; Interactions.
