Abstract

The educational administration have made a relevant economic investment to equip schools with digital infrastructures. However, educational research shows that there has been no significant change in teaching practices. The expectations of pedagogical innovation generated by the introduction of digital technologies have not been fulfilled in the expected level. This article analyzes the "macro" and "micro" educational policies and their effects on the processes of educational integration of ICT. For this, case studies were carried out and a qualitative-longitudinal methodology was applied in three different moments. Observational techniques were used in the classroom as well as semi-structured interviews. The data analysis was performed by the constant comparison method of the Grounded Theory with support in WebQDA software. The results show the insufficiency of macro-educational policies for the integration of digital technologies. It is necessary the elaboration of a Project of Digital Education that responds to pedagogical objectives shared by all members of the educative community.
