Abstract(s)
O principal objetivo desta investigação era aferir o contributo de uma plataforma de
aprendizagem no ensino secundário de São Tomé e Príncipe, mais concretamente no ensino
das ciências.
A integração das TIC na Educação não tem sido uma prioridade face aos constrangimentos
sociais, tecnológicos, económicos, legais e políticos do país. Atualmente, as melhorias
graduais na infraestrutura de comunicações, as novas reformas educativas e a perceção da
importância de uma sociedade baseada na informação e nas redes digitais justifica que sejam
dados passos decisivos em prol da implementação da aprendizagem eletrónica.
Uma plataforma de e-learning poderá não ser um objetivo prioritário das escolas de São
Tomé e Príncipe isoladamente, mas estamos convictos de que poderá ser um objetivo comum
a todas elas. Nesta perspetiva, a política governamental para as TIC na Educação poderia
passar pela disponibilização de uma plataforma de aprendizagem para o ensino secundário.
Sem pretender generalizar, esta é, em primeira instância, uma das conclusões deste estudo
de caso. Em última instância, podemos concluir que a integração de uma plataforma de elearning
open source no processo de ensino aprendizagem das ciências contribuiria
significativamente para cativar e motivar os alunos. Contudo, para além das necessidades de
formação em TIC para alguns dos participantes, as atividades e outros objetos de
aprendizagem (essencialmente documentos em formato pdf, doc ou ppt) disponibilizados
pelos professores assumem-se como “calcanhar de Aquiles” e, por conseguinte, requerem
preocupações acrescidas em prol do sucesso do ensino das ciências suportado por uma
plataforma de e-learning.
Estamos conscientes das dificuldades inerentes a este processo, todavia estamos convictos
de que foi dado um pequeno grande passo com vista a melhorar os processos de ensino e
aprendizagem das ciências através de uma plataforma de aprendizagem.

Currently, the gradual improvements in communications infrastructure, new educational reforms and the perception of the importance of a society based on information and digital networks justifies the decisive steps towards the implementation of electronic learning. A platform for e-learning may not be a priority objective of a school of Sao Tome and Principe, but we believe that a goal may be common to all of them. In this perspective, the government policy for ICT in education could be by providing a learning platform for secondary education. Without wishing to generalize, this is first and foremost, one of the conclusions of this case study. Ultimately, we can conclude that the integration of a platform for open source elearning in the teaching learning science contribute significantly to captivate and motivate students. However, beside the needs of ICT training for some of the participants, activities and other learning objects (essentially documents in pdf, doc or ppt) provided by the teachers assumed as "Achilles heel" and therefore require increased concerns towards the success of science education supported by a platform of e-learning. We are aware of the difficulties of this process. However we believe that a little step forward has been given to improve the teaching and learning science through a learning platform.
