Gestão escolar e tecnologias educacionais na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica

Abstract

This Formation Report analyzes how school management of educational technologies can contribute to the quality of Professional and Technological Education (PTE). The study focuses on institutional planning, professional development and support, infrastructure, maintenance and accessibility, curriculum integration, and participatory monitoring. It adopts a qualitative, descriptive and reflective approach, combining bibliographic, documentary and autobiographical procedures. The corpus includes legislation and policy guidelines on PTE and digital education, academic literature, secondary data from the 2024 ICT in Education survey, course materials, the author's Formation Plan and Formation Memorial, and records of his work as a teacher of Educational Technology, Robotics and Informatics. No interviews, questionnaires or data collection involving participants were conducted. The thematic analysis indicates that devices and platforms do not improve educational quality on their own. Their contribution depends on clear educational purposes, participatory governance, continuing professional development, technical and pedagogical support, accessibility, safety and evaluation. Experiences with computer labs, a Maker Space, robotics and digital fabrication show that apparently technical difficulties are also organizational and formative. As a practical result, a five-axis action plan is proposed: diagnosis and governance; infrastructure and accessibility; professional development and support; curriculum integration; monitoring and participation. The report concludes that school management contributes when it turns technologies from isolated resources into part of an institutional project aligned with integral human development, inclusion, student retention and educational success.
