PERCEPTIONS ON THE USE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN BASIC EDUCATION CARTOGRAPHY

Abstract

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the teaching of Cartography has provoked debates among teachers of geography in the way of integrating them even more in their daily practices. This article aims to address perceptions about the use of new technologies in mapping teaching. In order to approach these conceptions, a bibliographic survey was carried out in which some questions were observed: the use of the technologies through the educators to teach cartography, identifying the facilities and difficulties for the teaching process of the students. The results show that teachers use ICTs in cartography classes, mainly computer, internet and data show, believing that the uses of these resources help them in the preparation of their classes and in the classroom, but points out that there are some impasses that the use of these technologies. Among them the need for training courses, lack of technological resources or those they have are not enough for the school's demand. These issues are situations that compromise the use and efficiency of the use of ICT in mapping teaching.
