TECNOLOGIAS DIGITAIS NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

Digital technologies allied with the curricular proposals of Early Childhood Education, allow children to explore new knowledge, and still learn to research, question, and above all, to express their opinion in different everyday situations. Knowing this, this research was structured through the following problem: What is the importance of the use of new technologies in the teaching-learning process in Early Childhood Education? What technological resources are most used? Its general objective is to discuss the importance of using new technologies in the teaching- learning process at this school stage. Therefore, this study has a qualitative bibliographic character, because for its concreteness a careful search was carried out for articles, monographs, among others which contemplated this theme. In the results and discussion, it can be noted that the use of digital tools in the teaching and learning process of children has been essential in times of a pandemic, given that classes mostly take place remotely. In this way, it can be concluded that it is essential for teachers to create strategies and mechanisms, which allow them to use different digital tools in their classes in an attractive and playful way, as these positively contribute to the expansion of knowledge and learning in different contexts of the socializing in society.

In addition, sometimes both teachers and students find themselves faced with a great challenge, given that not all of them manage to master technological innovations in the teaching process.
