Abstract

The proper use and insertion of Mobile and Wireless Information and Communication Technologies (TIMS) can significantly favor different possibilities in the teaching-learning-evaluation process in biology teaching. Our central objective in this text was to understand how students from a public high school relate to TIMS and, moreover, how they perceive their learn in the Biology curricular component. We used a self-administered questionnaire, which was applied in the presence of the researcher, answered by 220 participants. The results showed that more than 97% of students have access to TIMS, more than 60% use smartphones for more than six hours/day and 75% of them said they liked biological content. However, the use of TIMS, with pedagogical purpose in the classroom, is denied or neglected by biology teachers.
