THE PRODUCTION OF SUBJECTIVITY THROUGH INTERNET USE AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE LEARNING PROCESS

Abstract

Subjectivity is linked to ideas, feelings, behaviors, and the way an individual perceives reality; it is shaped through relationships with other people, institutions, culture, and the various environments that constitute social life. In this context, digital technologies increasingly play a role in everyday and educational experiences, influencing forms of interaction, access to information, knowledge construction, and learning. This article aims to analyze how the internet and digital technologies contribute to the formation of subjectivity and to examine their implications for the learning process. It acknowledges that while digital technologies can foster learning, creativity, and expanded access to knowledge, they can also perpetuate patterns of consumption, control, standardization, and the shaping of subjectivities. Therefore, the article advocates for a critical appropriation of digital technologies within the educational sphere, ensuring that their use contributes to a form of development that is human, reflective, and conscious.
