AS TECNOLOGIAS DIGITAIS DA INFORMAÇÃO E COMUNICAÇÃO NA EDUCAÇÃO: REFLEXÕES NO ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA E HISTÓRIA

Abstract

In this present study, we will approach the use of digital technologies in education with a focus on the teaching of Geography and History. We will highlight the advantages of using digital technologies in favor of education in a globalized and computerized world. The present work presents the importance of working with playfulness in education, a factor that attracts children's attention and develops a more significant learning. The purpose of the research is to explore the limits and promising ways of using digital technologies in the educational area, elucidating how this teaching model will be approached in the classroom. Objective. The objectives that we intend to achieve with the research are an advance in the discussion about digital technologies in education, analyzing the advantages of their use in schools. Problematic. What are the possible contributions of the use of electronic games to the teaching and learning process in the subjects of Geography and History in the final years of elementary school? Methodology. the method of bibliographic research was used through SCIELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), using the following research descriptors: TDICs, Digital Games in History and Geography Teaching, Digital Technologies. Expected results. A qualitative leap in knowledge production can be expected. It is important to mention and discuss the impacts that these methodological changes will bring to the current pedagogical model, both positive and negative. Final considerations. Digital Technologies have a lot to contribute to education when it comes to pedagogical tools. Digital games can and should be explored in the educational context for a playful teaching in which students' fantasy and imagination are touched, flourishing a meaningful teaching. Digital Technologies can be introduced in the teaching of Geography and History, increasing the interaction and learning of students, causing them to stimulate their attention and develop a critical sense of their reality, their space and their history.
