Abstract
PEREIRA, Teresa Avalos; ARECO, Kelsy Catherina Nema; TARCIA, Rita Maria Lino and SIGULEM, Daniel. Use of Information and Communication Technologies by Teachers of the Health Area of the Universidade Federal de São Paulo. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2016, vol.40, n.1, pp.59-66. ISSN 1981-5271. https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v40n1e01482015.
Objective
To investigate the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by UNIFESP professors.
Methods
Descriptive cross-sectional observational study based on simple random sample of 191 respondents. We studied the association of a total of 27 ICT to the age, sex, academic qualification, status of teaching in two or more courses and involvement in preparatory course for teaching in higher education.
Results
The mean age was 49 years, 60.7% female, 72.8% at the doctoral level and 33.0% teaching on two or more courses. We observed a negative association between the amount of ICT and age, and a direct association between academic qualification and having completed teacher training.
Conclusion
The amount of instruments used fell by 1.2 every 10 years, and increased by 1.8 with the participation of professors in preparatory courses and by 1 for each academic title obtained.
