Desafios e perspectivas na implementação do ensino de informática no currículo de uma escola pública estadual de Alto do Rodrigues-RN

Abstract

The Implementing computer education in the public school curriculum presents a significant challenge in light of technological transformations and the demands of evolving digital culture in modern education. In this context, this study aims to analyze the challenges and prospects of implementing computer education within the curriculum of a state public school in Alto do Rodrigues, Rio Grande do Norte (RN). To this end, the study takes into account the guidelines of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), specifically General Competence 5, and the specific reality of the institution under study. The research employs a qualitative approach and is exploratory and descriptive in nature, supported by quantitative data used for descriptive and illustrative purposes. Methodological procedures included a literature review, an analysis of the school's Political-Pedagogical Project, and the administration of a semi-open, multiple-choice questionnaire to the school's management team, pedagogical coordinator, and teaching staff. The results revealed that, although the school acknowledges the importance of digital technologies in the teaching-learning process, challenges persist regarding technological infrastructure, equipment availability, internet access, continuous teacher training, and pedagogical planning. These findings highlight the need for integrated actions that facilitate the inclusion of computer education in the school curriculum, thereby contributing to an education system that is more inclusive and aligned with the needs of contemporary society.
