Abstract

The school seems to be a body impervious to change, resulting from scientific and technological advancement, important for the formation of the new citizen in the context of current society. This dissertation examines the reality of three public High schools in the interior of Paraiba, relatively to the presence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their use by teachers. On the theoretical component we approach on the integration of ICT in daily life of schools and the Educational Policies in Brazil on ICT, with focus on the proposal of the National Program for Information Technology in Education (ProInfo). The achievement of goals led the development and testing of two questionnaires, as the main instruments in the process of data collection. The first addressed to the directors of the three schools and the second directed to the teachers of these schools. The results show that the advent of the computer and the Internet, despite their educational potential didn’t change, in a considerable extent the teachers’ practice. It was noticed that, despite the use of ICTs at personal level, it is not operating in the educational context within the classroom yet. In relation to the schools we noticed that the guidelines of the National Program is not effective in practice, to lead the development of strategies to support their effective integration into the educational context. It was also noticed that the conditions of operation and amount of equipment available are two major obstacles to the operationalization of the intentions contained in the documents of ProInfo.
