EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES AND THE CHALLENGES OF DIGITAL INCLUSION FOR TEACHING PRACTICE

Abstract

Technology is a term that has been used a lot lately in all areas of knowledge, and especially in education. Conceptualized as a product of science and engineering that involves a set of instruments, methods and techniques that aim to solve problems, in addition, it is a practical application of knowledge in several areas of human research. For this, the work aims to investigate the importance of educational technologies and the use of these resources in the implementation of teaching practice in the classroom. In view of the investigation, a problem arose about the use of technologies for the pedagogical practice of the teacher in a perspective of digital inclusion. The methodology adopted is bibliographic research. Detroz et al (2015) defines this type of research as a search for theoretical references, works related to the theme and even to the state of the art [...]. In this way, the text presents some definitions about technologies, from the most traditional concepts, to the most current ones. It brings a brief discussion about the challenges faced by teachers when using these new tools in the classroom. It also seeks a reflection on the relevance of new tools for the development of teaching practice for the inclusion of a digital society.
