LEARNING WITH ICT: A SUGGESTION OF TRAINING FOR TEACHERS AND NON-TEACHERS

ABSTRACT

Benefiting from the popularization of the internet and computer science in the professional and personal life of teachers and non-teachers, it becomes a natural element to use these means in updating knowledge. It becomes even more natural when this updating of knowledge aims at the software programs that both classes use in their daily lives, a need created by the constant updating of that software.

The creation of training that responds to this objective must be based on already consolidated educational theories, such as the behaviourist, cognitivist and constructivist theory.

It is also interesting to know what uses of e-learning have been made, avoiding mistakes already made by other authors, and making use of their applications, adapting them to the needs of the creation of training. In addition to this research, it is also important to analyse how e-learning is used in the ongoing training of teaching and non-teaching staff, becoming another element in the creation of a training strategy. The design of training is not complete without identifying the stakeholders, as well as the selection of the contents to be taught, how to create all the digital resources, and the establishment of a schedule and determine the costs associated with this training.

This document intends to present a suggestion of distance learning so that teachers and non-teachers can update their knowledge and use without difficulty a new version of the software they use. For this, a clear vision is defined on what to teach, how to teach, what contents should be created and what digital platform should be used in the training for professional updating.
