RESUMO
The presence of microcomputers in teaching, the goals and the proposals for its use have been the object of several discussions and referring, in the most different levels of intervention as the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC) through partnerships with State and Municipal Secretary Office of Education, and also with institutions that prepare teachers such as universities and research centers. An analysis about published work in the last ten years by the community of Physics Teaching Area (National Presentations of Teaching Physics Teaching, Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física and Caderno Catarinense de Ensino de Física), identified different contributions that information technology applied to Education may have to Physics Teaching, pointing the existence of a great awareness with the production and use of softwares simulators. However, rare are the works that investigate the relationship established by teachers with the computer. Knowing the different postures of the teacher toward this equipment, would be starting point to the development of strategies for its use in education. Therefore, this work looks for investigating how Physics teachers take and understand the presence and the use of microcomputers in their daily routine, including their school daily lives. The research was made, through questionnaires, with teachers of secondary schools of the public teaching board. The results show that the teachers know the space of microcomputers in teaching, but, even knowing its importance and power, as, for example, facilitating and speeding up the preparation of classes or making experimental simulations, yet they don\ t use effectively this instrument in their pedagogical activities. Even more, they still don\ t comprehend that the use of the computer in the classroom demands the conceptions of new pedagogical practices, which show the necessity of a greater attention in projects using computers preparing and graduating teachers.
