As Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação como uma Possível Forma de Incentivo à Leitura Literária

Abstract

The general aim of this research was to investigate how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), such as cell phones and computers, can be used as a pedagogical resource in the classroom. In order to generate the data, two questionnaires were applied in two public schools, a central one, in which thirty questionnaires were answered, and a peripheral one, in which twenty-three students participated. The questions, as well as the respondents' answers, were entered into Google Forms to generate charts in order to assist in their analysis. Authors such as Candido, Furtado, Cordeiro Furtado and Perrone-Moisés were used as theoretical references. The conclusion was that the majority of students would like to have the habit of reading, justifying that ICTs could be the pedagogical change needed to trigger this interest in students. Although 98,1% of the respondents had access to the internet, only those who already had a reading habit used it to nurture that habit, making it necessary for the teacher to guide the student when trying to harmonize the internet and literature.
