Abstract:
This research, conducted within the Graduate Program in Education – Academic
Master's Degree at Centro Universitário Mais (UniMais), in the Education, Theories,
and Pedagogical Processes research line, addresses the integration of technologies
as pedagogical resources in the schooling process during the early years of
elementary education. The study aimed to understand the implementation of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as pedagogical tools in this
educational stage, as advocated by the Goiás Curricular Document (DC-GO), as well
as the impacts of these technologies on students' schooling processes. The specific
objectives were: to highlight the historical and political context of the integration of
technologies in Brazilian education since the 1990s; to discuss the implementation of
ICTs as pedagogical resources in the early years of elementary education; and to
analyze how ICTs are addressed within the DC-GO, evaluating their repercussions
on students' schooling processes in light of the challenges of contemporary society.
The study posed the following research question: how can the integration of ICTs in
the early years of elementary education, considering the DC-GO, impact students'
schooling processes? The methodology adopted was predominantly bibliographic,
with a qualitative approach and an analysis of the DC-GO regarding the use of
technologies as pedagogical resources in this stage of education. The research
highlights that the integration of Digital Information and Communication Technologies
(DICTs) in education is marked by challenges and opportunities within a context of
social inequalities and digital exclusion, as experienced in Brazil. The theoretical
framework is based on the contributions of Paulo Freire, particularly his perspective
on liberating education, and authors such as Kenski, Moran, and Lévy, who discuss
the integration of DICTs in education. Among the results, the research identifies the
challenges faced in implementing technologies in the early years of elementary
education. It is hoped that this study contributes to a better understanding of how
these technologies can be inclusively integrated, fostering the development of
autonomous and critical individuals within an educational context that aligns with the
demands of contemporary society.
