Tecnologias digitais móveis na Educação Básica: nem tanto ao céu, nem tanto ao inferno

Resumo

This paper discusses about the need to increase the discussions around the subject integration of the smartphone in Basic Education curriculum. Results from a qualitative/quantitative research conducted between 2015 and 2017 with teachers from three different private schools in Minas Gerais are presented. It was clear the need to deepen the discussion about the subject due to the disciplinary posture adopted by the schools, based on legislation that is still lacking in better elaboration and that prohibits the use of mobile devices. Despite the formal prohibition, teachers reported pedagogic activities with intensive use of mobile devices. This reveals the scenario of uncertainties regarding the (non) educational use of these devices.
