Abstract

Digital Mobility in the Pedagogy Course: What Do Teachers Think about Cell Phones in the Classroom

Abstract: This article aims to contribute to the discussion about mobile technologies in Higher Education, especially the mobile phone connected to the Internet. The purpose of the research was to understand the meanings that teachers of the Pedagogy course build in relation to the use of mobile phones with Internet connection in the classroom. The principles of qualitative research, in the historical and cultural perspective, supported the development of the study, supported by Vygotsky (1995; 2001; 2007) and Bakhtin (2003); and studies about cell phones and physical and informational mobility in Lemos (2005; 2009; 2010); Lévy (2010), Silva (2013); Santaella (2007, 2013), Cordeiro and Bonilla (2015; 2017),among others. The interview was the instrument to get the discusses with the teachers that chose to participate of the research. The results showed that teachers are building their senses and meanings based on what they know and the experiences ocurred with mobile technologies. The use of mobile phones to consume information on the network, in order to conduct research, is the most highlighted by respondents as a significant use. Teachers see the cell phone in the classroom as a nuisance, causing dispersion and lack of concentration. The informational mobility and the student's thinking, from the use of the mobile phone with internet connection in the classroom, is confronted with the teacher's need to have this student connected to the classroom, not to the mobile phone. This reality causes tensions and challenges of being a teacher in the digital culture.
