Resumen de Análises das plataformas informáticas como instrumento de aprendizagem colaborativa dos estudantes do ensino secundário no concelho de Guimarães em Portugal
Being school the central core of knowledge structuring it is necessary to grant it with means so that it can train our youngsters, their families and others who, although away from it, need to go there.
ICT allow many possibilities in the areas of education and training, but they also pose challenges and problems since, by their very nature, do not contain automatic structuring powers, thus creating gaps between social groups and disarticulation on the individuals themselves. It is then necessary to overcome multiple challenges, not only technical, organizational or financial, but also ethical and pedagogical.
In Portugal, it seems that the use of ICT in learning on the part of teachers and students, remains very limited. It is necessary to invest in this field, so that the teachers can use ICT in the classroom. Its use in classrooms will allow students a more autonomous learning, thereby enabling them to use these technologies outside the classroom, in e-learning contexts, through collaborative learning, either among peers or between teacher and student.
With this work, I want to show the use of computing platforms, by students and teachers in secondary education schools in the municipality of Guimarães, in Northern Portugal.
