PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES OF TEACHING-LEARNING: PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING AT EDUCATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS - EJA

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), as instruments widely used by an increasing number of people, in different age groups, are oriented as resources of global interest for the most diverse purposes. In schools, despite perceiving children and adolescents fully familiar and mastering different technological resources - such as smartphones, tablets, pen drives, etc. -, teachers tend to refuse them in the teaching-learning process. A lot, for not mastering ways to use them, or the technology itself, or even considering that they would only interfere negatively in classes. However, we live in a computerized and globally interconnected society increasingly mediated by ICTs. In this perspective, this study aims to investigate possible ways of using ICTs as tools that stimulate and provoke significant knowledge in the teaching learning process of Geography. The methodological procedures used were based on observations of spaces where there were technological resources from the researched college. Three teachers and 10 students were heard through interviews, in order to obtain focused and spontaneous information, mainly with students. A qualitative, bibliographic and descriptive research was carried out, with field research. It was found that the acquisition of new skills and abilities by the teacher committed to updating the educational process and training the student, in accordance with the current world, is a substantial need. Despite the obstacles, it appears that the school presents itself as the institution that, resignified, can play a fundamental role in the training of new generations for the transformation and training of citizens capable of using ICTs in the best way.
